A very readable account of the departure of the Church of Scotland from Biblical Christianity, along with the departure of many ministers and churches from the denomination. Although it specifically recounts the story of the Church of Scotland, it depicts the slide into liberalism that many other denominations have taken or are in the process of taking. Unable to stay in a denomination that had begun accepting homosexuality in the ministry, the book describes in heart-wrenching detail the decisions of many evangelicals to either lead their congregations to other denominations, resign and leave their denominations, or stay in the church with the intention of fighting against the abandonment of God's Word. The issue of homosexuality is itself just a fruit of the much bigger issue of the relationship of the Bible to the church. Very readable and highly recommended.

If you care at all about the Christian church you must brace yourself for a roller coaster of emotions as you read A Sad Departure. The title contains a double entendre. On the one hand it alludes to the departure from the Church of Scotland of about forty ministers and many members. On the other hand it refers to the catalyst of these actions the departure of the Kirk from its moorings in the authority of Scripture by its decisions on 'the gay question'.It tells a dark story, almost novelesque in character. A church's Theological Commission reaches a unanimous conclusion on the teaching on marriage given in its ultimate authority, the Bible. But then its General Assembly acts in a way that ignores, demeans, and rejects that teaching. Thus behind these sad departures lies the prior and much sadder departure of the Kirk from its sacred constitution.This is a thoughtful, honest and solemnising book written out of a deep personal and pastoral concern for the cause of the gospel.
