While discussing a great report on Human Sexuality the General Assembly was presented with the chance to affirm what it ALREADY believes, that homosexual people are not loved less by God than anyone else and that sexual orientation is not a barrier to baptism, communion, membership or leadership in the Church of Scotland. They declined to endorse their own position leaving this observer, and I’m sure many more, to question why?

Cold feet? Sounds sadly familiar anyway.
Apparently not… More a gracious act of not rubbing it in. They decided at the start of the week on equal pension rights and employment rights so it was thought that this might just have been seen as gloating… We’ll see. I’m not altogether convinced that it wasn’t more political on the part of the more conservative leaning to stall a bit. But we shall see.
