Extract

As usual, the General Assembly's debates ranged very widely: from a call by the Church's social care organisation, CrossReach, for visitors' centres to be established in all Scottish prisons to a plea for more ministers to consider a career in military chaplaincy. Several specific items may be of interest to readers of this Journal.
