Evangelical Presbyterians thankful for Oxford growth
OEPC
It has been standing room only at times for Oxford Evangelical Presbyterian Church (EPC) as it returned to in-person Sunday morning services after 83 weeks online.
The church, which has held its 5pm services in person through most of the pandemic, has given thanks for the many new people, including couples, students and families, it has seen. Last November, the church held its first ever Thanksgiving celebration since its initial planting four years ago.
Robertson Trust apologises
Free Church of Scotland
The Robertson Trust has formally apologised to, and reached a settlement with, the Free Church of Scotland after equality law breaches.
The Trust admitted discriminating after unlawfully cancelling contracts for the hire of a conference facility on religious grounds. Responding to the trustees’ apology, the Revd Iain Macaskill, minister of Stirling Free Church, said: ‘It is against the law to advertise a venue as being available to all-comers but then cancel the contract simply because the booking is for a religious event. Christians have the same legal rights as everyone else and the outcome of this case affirms that.’
