Oh the Irony
BBC Scotland does a report on the
recent Church of Scotland / Church of England discussions. It uses stock footage of the Tron Church in
Glasgow. Yes, at the time of filming it
was a Church of Scotland congregation, but it left over the doctrinal and
ethical apostasy of the denomination. (I
think around 3 members stayed with the denomination.)
It rubs in the fact that the
largest multi-generational, multi-ethnic worshiping congregation in Glasgow, indeed
in Scotland, is no longer part of the denomination. I am sure the press office
of the Church of Scotland must be in despair.
The footage rubs salt into the wound – the congregation were dispossessed
of their excellent facilities and stripped of their assets, but they continue
to grow and flourish as they proclaim the Gospel without dilution or compromise.
Of course, if they are looking
for new stock footage of a vibrant congregation the BBC might consider moving
away from the central belt and the established church and feature the Free
Church in Dundee or Culloden. I am sure the Baptists and Independents might
also have their suggestions.
