TO an outsider like myself, the debate about independence and the Church of Scotland (Letters, May 24 & 25) is very clear-cut.
My recollection of the central message of the Christian faith is “to love thy neighbour as thyself”. If this is the case, it would appear that political aims based on division and distancing ourselves from our nearest neighbour are contradictory to Christian belief.
Perhaps the seed of that message has fallen on stony ground in the case of Scottish nationalists?
