Faith through the doubts and dark days

Stephen McGinty interviews the Rev Sheilagh Kesting, Moderator of the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland.

Does the Church of Scotland still have a deep-rooted role in Scottish society, in terms of leadership and acting as a moral compass, to use Gordon Brown's phrase?

Yes. I think it does.When you look at the Church and its infrastructure, although numbers are going down, we still cover the country, we still have people and resources to enable a whole lot of things to be done that are community-building, and work, for example, towards the eradication of poverty and the strengthening of our communities, both in urban and rural areas.

Full interview at The Scotsman.
