@SChurchesTrust@severincarrell@guardian It wasn’t ‘free church members’ tho. It was the much exalted church leadership and Founding Fathers. So FC as an institution should stop blaming ‘members of the denomination’ and pull up their Big Boy pants and take some institutional responsibility.
@on_lothianbuses why oh why have you downgraded your service to show at bus stops the times they are due rather than the times they are actually coming?! 🤷🏼♀️
@DCM_FreeChScot @freechurchscot Well… he is rather well known by consumers of philosophy and sociology. Perhaps not well understood by the Theobros though.
@beatrixcampbell Utterly disproportionate sentence. This was a child in extremis. Mature men who rape and murder get a lot less. Patriarchy alive and well.
@theweeflea@RCObsGyn Yes, I do. Especially as at 8 months there is likely to have been some awareness and pain. You and I believe that babe is safe in the arms of Jesus. My burden of pity is for a woman in extremis with a hostile partner from whom she had to hide the pregnancy.Have you pity for her?
@DCM_FreeChScot @freechurchscot That is a good point,I hadn’t thought of that etymology. But the church has been slow to acknowledge the ‘pain of change’, and by whom that pain has been borne - the elderly who have served faithfully, but who end their days without the comfort of their liturgical mother tongue.
@DCM_FreeChScot @freechurchscot The notion that the work of the church is ‘business’ is beyond chilling for those of us who look to the church comfort and solace. Feed my sheep. That’s your calling.
