David Lunan: Just the man to lead a broad church

The Scotsman's Friday Interview is with the Rev David Lunan, who will next week become the Moderator of the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland.

Selected quotes:

"I also think there is a group who are very committed to Jesus Christ but cannot find it in themselves to be worshipping in the way we do week by week with the style we have devised. That's a question for those of us who remain within the structure as to how we hold on to folks like that, because they have a lot to offer."

"There is something going on just now with money, maybe more than in the past, whereby it determines almost everything we do."

"I was at a dinner last Christmas organised by the Asian Christian Fellowship, but at that dinner I was sitting with Hindus, Muslims, Christians, whites and Asians, and the Asians were saying: "I don't think this could happen anywhere else in Britain. Glasgow's different, Scotland's different.""

Full Q&A interview at The Scotsman. Be warned that it's a bit difficult to follow because the Qs and As have not been differentiated.
