Sheena McDonald presents highlights of the debates of 850 ministers and elders at the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland.

Aside from internal matters, the Kirk considers wider issues. There is a report on words used by Christians and Jews that may mean different things to the different religions. The programme also reports on the work of two congregations with refugees. Erskine Parish, partnered with other churches in the town, is supporting recent arrivals who are housed in a local hotel. In Raploch, we see the successful integration of a refugee family from Sudan who arrived four years ago. Show less
