Here are a few of the global Presbyterianism headlines that caught my attention in the past week:<\/p>\n

A couple of weeks ago the hot topic for the Church of Scotland was the report to the General Assembly from the Theological Commission on Same-sex Relationships and the Ministry. This past week the news shifted on to a Joint Report on the Implications for the Church of Scotland of Independence for Scotland<\/a>. The recommendation that seems to have caught everyone’s attention is “In the event of Scottish Independence… that the monarch should have a Scottish coronation…” Among the articles covering this are:<\/p>\n

\nScottish independence: Church of Scotland to debate coronations<\/a><\/b> – From the BBC<\/p>\n

Kirk: Give future monarch a Scots coronation after Yes vote<\/a> <\/b>– From The Herald
\n\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\nAnd it was noted that the Free Church of Scotland would also be exploring this topic:<\/p>\n

Free Church to Discuss Independence<\/a><\/b> – Free Church of Scotland news article <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\nIn the Free Church of Scotland there is another interesting pastoral call following last month’s call of an Italian minister to Leith<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Anglican Minister to take Free Church Congregation<\/b><\/a> – From The Scotsman <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\nIn Ireland, where the Presbyterian Church opposes same-sex marriage, a political leader came under fire for his views that differ from the church’s position:<\/p>\n

\nAlliance leader David Ford stands down as church elder over his support for gay marriage<\/a><\/b>– From The Irish Times\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\nAnd from the Presbyterian Church of Ghana:<\/p>\n

\nIndiscipline amongst the youth need to be checked – Okyenhene<\/a><\/b> – From GhanaWeb [note: The Okyenhene is the royal leader of a clan in Eastern Ghana. he was speaking at a Presbyterian Church.]<\/p>\n
