\nOnce again, the business before the Church of Scotland General Assembly makes the headlines but this time the story comes from the Church and Society Council:<\/p>\n
\nScottish Church denial of Jewish land rights stirs ire<\/a><\/b> – From the Jerusalem Post\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
This is one of the few stories about this to hit the mainstream media. In the secular media the story has taken off with stories like this:<\/p>\n
\nChurch of Scotland Questions Right of Israel to Exist<\/a><\/b> – from The Jewish Press. \n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Needless to say the blogosphere has taken off as well and I would point you to one of the more noted bloggers, His Grace on the Archbishop Cranmer blog<\/a>.<\/p>\n
If you want to read it for yourself you can read the Church and Society Council report<\/a> and the study that is causing the commotion: The Inheritance of Abraham? A report on the ‘promised land’<\/a><\/p>\n
And in the midst of all these issues in the Kirk the former Archbishop of Canterbury, Dr. Rowan Williams, calls on the church not to divide:<\/p>\n
\nWilliams urges Kirk not to split over gay ministers<\/a><\/b> – From The Scotsman\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
