I stumbled upon part of this programme about the Church of Scotland called "a Church in crisis?" last night on BBC1. It made for some pretty grim viewing.

I agree Duncan. I had a look at this programme and was shocked to hear the commentary say that the main role of the Church of Scotland since the Reformation was in the realm of social care! I thought Christ's church was supposed to be about making disciples?? That's certainly what we are working on here on Islay.
