Reminiscences from previous years and recorded impressions of today's opening of the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland
Produced by W. Farquharson Small
Today the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland begins its annual deliberations in Edinburgh, but because of the war the opening will be shorn of much of its traditional pageantry. Instead of the customary broadcasts of pre-war days, arrangements have been made to take recordings of the important speeches at the opening ceremony in the Assembly Hall, and these will be heard in a special feature programme of historical and dramatic incidents in the annals of this great Parliament of the Scottish Church.
