A minister in the Church of Scotland has accused Christian charity Scripture Union (SU) of discriminating against homosexuals, it was reported in May.
The Revd David Young, from Helensburgh Parish Church, told the Kirk’s General Assembly: ‘A member of my staff was told she would not be welcome in helping to lead an SU group because she is in a same-sex marriage.’
Andy Bathgate, Chief Executive of Scripture Union Scotland, said the attack was ‘very, very concerning’ but ‘not entirely surprising, given the decisions that have been made by the Church of Scotland’ in recent years.
