County Fermanagh
County Fermanagh did not have the same remarkable outpouring as the other counties already mentioned. Dr. Edwin Orr in his “Second Evangelical Awakening” comments: “Unlike the other northern counties, Fermanagh possessed 38 per cent Episcopalians and only 6 per cent other Protestants, chiefly Methodists, whilst there were 56 per cent Roman Catholics. Tyrone, with the same proportion of Roman Catholics, possessed 46,000 Presbyterians as well as 52,000 Episcopalians, an important factor when one notices that the movement was generally approved among Presbyterians but only approved in part by the clergy of the Establishment.”
The ministers of the Methodist church were zealous workers in the revival, and took an active part in advancing the movement to all parts of the province. It must be recorded, however, that their efforts in Fermanagh were largely unsuccessful. Nevertheless, the revival did, in some measure, come to the County and the town of Enniskillen saw many converts.
