No matter what any one says he must have known that his what he was doing was going to split "his" church. I have never been a member but my wife and kids were and they are currently looking for a baptist church to attend in our neighbourhoodAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15037609.post-47501290877470857962009-05-22T17:09:33.493+01:002009-05-22T17:09:33.493+01:00As a Queen's Cross regular attender and having hea...As a Queen's Cross regular attender and having heard him preach, I have no doubts that he could have been suited for this post BUT Scott is not 'at bay'. <br /><br />He is a political person and knew he was putting the Church into a confrontantial position by highlighting his 'partner' joining him in the manse.<br /><br />His 'amicable' relationship with his ex-wife also disguised his active role in 'Fathers for Justice' - not quite an avenue most 'amicable' break up fathers take.<br /><br />Am I sorry for the position Scott is in? It is of his own choosing and to further his cause and break up the unity of the Church of Scotland.<br /><br />Am I sorry for the position he has put the Queen's Cross Congregation in? Too true!! He has fragmented a loving, loyal, accepting, band of people and used them for his own ends.<br /><br />If they were to vote now, knowing how they had been duped, he would never have received support.<br /><br />So, so, sad!!Heavy Hearthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10775753211204990222noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15037609.post-84753338305025454332009-05-07T10:15:00.000+01:002009-05-07T10:15:00.000+01:00True true but ,"Thou shalt not covet thy neighbou...True true but ,"Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour`s ass" is in there somewhere , even if he "Turns the other cheek"..( comedy trombone)<br /><br />I know I know its all very serious but as a Christian (ish) who would not dream of being nasty to the gayers its also a bit ludicrous from another perspective (. Not Mr. Rennie`s obviously and I do greatly sympathise).<br /><br />That was an interesting and sensitively handled post actually.( Wasted on me )Newmaniahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11922161971821380803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15037609.post-2935776614783841902009-05-07T07:40:00.000+01:002009-05-07T07:40:00.000+01:00Thanks for this.

I agree entirely with you and posted accordingly the other day.<br /><br />I have a huge amount of time for Scott, who I also know through the Lib Dems. He is entirely suited to the vocation of being a Minister.<br /><br />I think it's important to remember that only a relatively small proportion of clergy have signed that petition. I was encouraged by the wise and tolerant views expressed by other clergy on a Radio Scotland phone in the other morning.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04988201531739344840noreply@blogger.com
