When they come to form the New United Free Associated Presbyterian Non-Hymnal Church of Scotland (Continuing), I'll be there. Got to follow the true faith.
At first sight it may appear to be unreasonable to take such a stance and there are certainly many much more important issues.
However one must have some sympathy with regard to Rev Stewart's position - clearly he sees this as a matter of conscience and that he cannot depart from the ordination vows he took. It is a great pity if this matter does cause a further schism in the free church. There are no winners
Well, well, well. Are they all now singing from the same hymn sheet? Choices have been offered, no autocratic dogma imposed from on "high", what's the problem? Another schism to add to the many preceding? I hope common sense and christian fellowship will prevail. Send the Rev gentleman home - to think again. Never sensible to take precipitate and hot-headed action in such circumstances, and important to give leadership to others in uncertain times. This is his christian duty and responsibility.
Sorry, but what is so wrong with singing in church. I remember as a child looking forward to my favourite hymns being sung.
