It took all my efforts to supress a hallelujah at Presbytery last night. During the ministry committee report, its convenor, Rev Hugh Watt revealed a nugget of information. The Church of Scotland is generally having to up its game in terms of its charitable status as new charity laws have been passed by the Scottish Parliament. It appears that the church has so much money that it may have to give some of it away! I have long felt that it is an absolute scandal and a denial of the gospel that the National Church through its Councils and Boards holds vast sums of money, while so many needs are crying out for funding. It will be intriguing to see how this ends up.
