I attended a civic reception last night in the Town House for the Moderator who is currently visiting Inverness. The Town House is a remarkable building and well worth a visit if you have never been in. Perhaps people might accuse me of being a fundamentalist, but one of the things which struck me last night was that in this gathering to honour the visit of a church leader and the contribution of the Church to the local community, I don't recall in any of the speeches one informal mention of the person of Jesus/Christ! It's striking how often He is marginalised, when He is ultimately the reason we are here in the first place.
