Wealth, Health, Happiness and Holiness – The Vision and SIN of Nicola Sturgeon

Nicola Sturgeon recently gave a Ted Talk which is interesting, revealing and a real help in understanding where some of our political and cultural leaders are heading.  It’s only ten minutes but well worth listening to…   The message is simple and compelling.  We can no longer measure our country’s success by GDP (Gross Domestic Product).  We need to think about how happy and healthy … Continue reading Wealth, Health, Happiness and Holiness – The Vision and SIN of Nicola Sturgeon

Atheist Indoctrination of Children? – Letter in The Herald – 3rd Jan 2015

The following letter appeared in The Herald today (Saturday 3rd Jan)…It was in answer to an ‘article’ by Shona Craven which was a mocking attack on the role of Christianity in education. These attacks are becoming more and more frequent as the hard line anti-Christian secularists are doing their best to ensure that Christianity is removed from all areas of Scottish public life. Here is … Continue reading Atheist Indoctrination of Children? – Letter in The Herald – 3rd Jan 2015
