Lewis stands firm
Every Church of Scotland congregation on Lewis, the largest island in Scotland’s Outer Hebrides, has opposed moves to allow practising gay clergy being ordained as ministers, it was reported in mid-October.
The Christian Institute
Lewis Presbytery, the body representing Church of Scotland congregations on the island, is already opposed on biblical grounds to same sex marriage. The CofS is considering whether or not to reverse its traditional stance against appointing homosexual ministers.
