    • A TURNING POINT IN IRELAND’S THEOCRATIC HISTORY

      The first international convention in Ireland was held in Dublin in 1965.b Despite intense opposition on all fronts, the convention was a great success. A total of 3,948 attended, and 65 got baptized. Everyone who had provided accommodations for the 3,500 international delegates received a letter of appreciation. Householders, in turn, praised the delegates’ conduct. It was indeed a turning point for Ireland.
