Kirk beyond belief
As an inveterate letter writer with pronounced opinions on both the referendum and gay clergy/marriage I receive a fair amount of blow-back in the mail and social media.
I have been the target of the dreaded Cybernats, but it is mostly good-humoured banter and usually follows any teasing of the First Minister or unkind reference to his white paper.

Hide AdEven at its very worst it never descends to the level of anonymous, pseudo-theological, homophobic prurience that wings it way through the mail from fellow “Christians”.
The idea – as proposed by Mr Chalmers at the weekend – of a post-referendum “service of reconciliation” from the viscerally-divided Kirk is almost beyond parody and it would be better employed trying to heal itself.
