Scottish roles

Bob Akroyd, Moderator of the Free Church, has commented on the new roles of John Swinney and Kate Forbes as Scotland’s First Minister and Deputy.

He says: ‘I want to assure all members of the Scottish Government of our ongoing prayerful support for their vital work. As a prison chaplain, I have repeatedly witnessed the devastation caused by drug deaths. I pray that not only will the Scottish Government seek to address the alarming number of deaths, but will also focus on the underlying causes of poverty, social deprivation, and hopelessness.’
