I appreciate the opportunity to leave a comment (on Cardinal O’Brien) from afar on your website. I was deeply saddened by his news and could not find another way of expressing my solidarity with my former Glaswegian compatriots at this difficult time of the Scottish Church’s growing up. I miss Scotland enormously: its people, its clergy, the football, the bonhomie, its humanity, all of it were powerful formative influences on my younger years, which I have treasured ever since. This website demonstrates that those cultural influencees are alive and well and still expressive of some of of the best in the overall culture that I came to so love and admire, especially its inclusiveness and its sense of justice.
Hello Liam
I appreciate the opportunity to leave a comment (on Cardinal O’Brien) from afar on your website. I was deeply saddened by his news and could not find another way of expressing my solidarity with my former Glaswegian compatriots at this difficult time of the Scottish Church’s growing up. I miss Scotland enormously: its people, its clergy, the football, the bonhomie, its humanity, all of it were powerful formative influences on my younger years, which I have treasured ever since. This website demonstrates that those cultural influencees are alive and well and still expressive of some of of the best in the overall culture that I came to so love and admire, especially its inclusiveness and its sense of justice.
Thank you, Liam!
