Occasionally I glance at the St. George's Tron church website, the congregation in which I participated whilst studying in Glasgow (autumn 2001). I saw that they have links to a short paper by a member of the Scottish Parliament, advocating "Dying with Dignity", and a response written on behalf of their kirk session and congregation. This is an issues that we are already beginning to face here in America--think of Oregon with legalised physician assisted suicide since 1997, or the recent controversy over Terri Schaivo.
Please join me in praying that Christians in Scotland will be vocal in proclaiming clearly the truth of God's word on this issue, and pray that the Spirit will restrain the Scottish Parliament from this evil.
Here are the two papers:
Dying with Dignity - Paper by the Scottish MP
Dying with Dignity - St. George's Tron church response
