What a pity…this may well be a sad indicator of where we are in Scotland. I appreciate things are complicated but I wonder how this building might have been utilised by some church-planting groups.

https://t.co/1YKw2LQZz0 What a brave, quirky, vulnerable, and intriguing book! Will it please every reader? Of course not. But, to quote Emily Dickinson, "Tell all the truth but tell it slant...The Truth must dazzle gradually or every man be blind."
