Kirk Moderator: Faiths must work for peace, not conflict
The Moderator of the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland will call on people of all faiths to make religion a force for good in tackling warfare around the world.The Rt Rev David Lunan will make the call in his sermon at the annual service of commemoration to Scotland’s National War Memorial at Edinburgh Castle on Wednesday morning.
The Moderator of the General Assembly will say: “While it was not a cause of the World Wars, we as people of faith must recognise that religion is in danger of being a cause of conflict, rather than contributing to harmony.
“We ourselves, and I include myself, must remember that our Lord chose someone of a different religion, a Samaritan, to illustrate what it means to care for our neighbour.”
