David J. Randall on the departure of some forty ministers and many members - and on the prior departure of the Kirk itself from the authority of Scripture. Read more.
If you care at all about the Christian church you must brace yourself for a roller coaster of emotions as you read A Sad Departure, writes Sinclair Ferguson in the foreword. The title contains a double meaning.
On the one hand it refers to the departure from the Church of Scotland of about forty ministers and many members. On the other it refers to the catalyst of those actions, the departure of the Kirk from its own moorings in the authority of Scripture. David J. Randall sets out the history and the reasoning, and the book is a case study in what a congregation does when a denomination moves.
