The Moderator of the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church in Ireland is the most senior office-bearer within the Presbyterian Church in Ireland, which is Northern Ireland's largest Protestant denomination. The Moderator is elected by the General Assembly and serves for one year as the public representative of the denomination. In theory, the moderator may be a minister or an elder from among the laity; but as yet, no lay elder has ever been appointed moderator. The appointee's formal role involves acting as the Moderator of the General Assembly. During the rest of the year, the moderator acts as an ambassador for the General Assembly and for the Presbyterian Church in Ireland as a whole. The government of the Presbyterian Church in Ireland has a form known as Presbyterian polity, and is much like that of other Presbyterian churches around the world. Individual churches are represented at both the Presbytery (local) level and General Assembly (All Ireland) level. The serving moderator is given the honorific style, Right Reverend (Rt. Rev.) 〔Example assembly record addressing the serving moderator as Rt. Rev. is (Session 8, 2006 (doc format) ). Retrieved on September 2, 2006.〕 Former moderators are known as Very Reverend (Very Rev.). The moderator is eleventh in the order of precedence in Northern Ireland along with the two Church of Ireland and two Roman Catholic archbishops. The moderator is normally an ordained minister. The current moderator is the Right Reverend Dr Michael Barry. He will be succeeded by the Revered Ian McNie on June 1 2015. ==Past Moderators== # 1840 Samuel Hanna (Rosemary Street, Belfast) # 1841 Henry Cooke (May Street, Belfast) # 1842 John Edgar (Fitzroy, Belfast) # 1843 Robert Stewart (First Broughshane) # 1844 John Brown (Aghadowey) # 1845 James Carlile (Dublin) # 1846 James Morgan (Fisherwick, Belfast) # 1847 William McClure (Londonderry) # 1848 Henry Jackson Dobbin (First Ballymena) # 1849 John Barnett (Moneymore) # 1850 William Bailey Kirkpatrick (Abbey, Dublin) # 1851 John Coulter (Gilnahirk) # 1852 John Bleckley (First Monaghan) # 1853 Henry William Molyneaux (First Larne) # 1854 David Hamilton (Belfast) # 1855 Robert Allen (Ballina) # 1856 Robert Wilson (Assembly's College, Belfast) # 1857 Alexander Porter Gowdy (Strabane) # 1858 John Johnston (Tullylish) # 1859 William Gibson (Assembly's College, Belfast) # 1860 Samuel Marcus Dill (First Ballymena) # 1861 John Macnaughton (Rosemary Street, Belfast) # 1862 Henry Cooke (May Street, Belfast) # 1863 John Rogers (Second Comber) # 1864 John Rogers (Second Comber) # 1865 David Wilson (Limerick) # 1866 David Wilson (Limerick) # 1867 Robert Montgomery (India) # 1868 Charles Lucas Morell (Dungannon) # 1869 Richard Smyth (First Derry) # 1870 Richard Smyth (First Derry) # 1871 Lowry Edmonds Berkley (First Lurgan) # 1872 William Johnston (Townsend Street, Belfast) # 1873 William Johnston (Townsend Street, Belfast) # 1874 William Magill (Cork) # 1875 Josias Leslie Porter (Belfast) # 1876 John Meneely (First Ballymacarrett, Belfast) # 1877 George Bellis (Belfast) # 1878 Thomas Witherow (Magee College, Londonderry) # 1879 Robert Watts (Belfast) # 1880 Jackson Smyth (First Armagh) # 1881 William Fleming Stevenson (Rathgar, Dublin) # 1882 Thomas Young Killen (Duncairn, Belfast) # 1883 Hamilton Brown Wilson (First Cookstown) # 1884 James Maxwell Rogers (Great James Street, Londonderry) # 1885 James Weir Whigham (Ballinasloe) # 1886 Robert Ross (Carlisle Road, Londonderry) # 1887 John Henry Orr (High Street, Antrim) # 1888 Robert John Lynd (May Street, Belfast) # 1889 William Clarke (Trinity, Bangor) # 1890 William Park (Rosemary Street, Belfast) # 1891 Nathaniel McAuley Brown (Drumachose, Limavady) # 1892 R.
