The Church of Scotland has described the American, British and French airstrikes against Syria in April as ‘deeply concerning’.
The Rev Dr Richard Frazer, convener of the Church of Scotland’s Church and Society Council said: “In the face of such violence and suffering, where civilians are being senselessly slaughtered, there is an overwhelming urge to do something.
Where governments are concerned that urge is often expressed in the form of military action. When such difficult decisions are taken it is only right that they have received full and proper consideration.
