Comments by the leader of the Scottish Christian Party on the secular, scientific, political and ecclesiastical scene and the application of Christianity to public life.
Many people have their own ideas about God's Holy Spirit. Some don't believe in Him, others think that they can tell Him what to do, and others have no idea what to think. Jesus does not leave us in the dark. He is the Light of the world and He tells us what we need …

We learn today that Nigel Farage will not be welcome in the Tory Party by any of the six current Tory leadership candidates. They have their own reasons for such an opinion, but it is in line with what I have come to believe about the cut-throat spirit of Toryism. In this case, these leadership …
