THE Moderator of the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland said today that the Covid-19 pandemic has unveiled a ‘spiritual longing in our land’.
Speaking at the pared-down Annual Gathering of the Church of Scotland Guild at the Assembly Hall in Edinburgh in September, the Moderator, Lord Jim Wallace said: “I believe that whatever the setbacks of pandemic and lockdown, that Good News gives us a bright hope for tomorrow… and I have a sense that the pandemic has revealed a spiritual longing in our land. People who previously showed little interest in institutional church life have been logging on to online worship.”
