Parish Meetings to explain the Assisted Suicide Bill and how to stop it! The Bill is before Parliament and could pass the critical Stage One by the end of the year which will effectively ensure State sanctioned euthanasia in Scotland. So, action is urgent.  If our MSPs hear nothing from us as citizens, they will feel free to vote it in. Deanery meetings around our diocese will help parishioners build local momentum to make MSPs sit up, take notice and vote against it.  Please come to our meetings and invite anyone concerned about this watershed moment.  Bishop John will attend all meetings.   Monday 9th September at 7.00pm. St. Joseph’s Hall, Clarkston (East Renfrew Meeting), Tuesday 10th September 7.00pm, St. Mary’s Hall, Greenock (Inverclyde Meeting), Wednesday 25th September at 7.00pm. St. Mirin’s Hall, Paisley. (Renfrewshire Meeting). The Bishops’ Conference of Scotland has submitted evidence to the Scottish Parliament Health, Social Care and Sport Committee on a proposal to legalise assisted suicide in Scotland.
