...signs of Christianity in society;  "I think of the Christmas Nativity Scene at the corner of the Mound in Edinburgh each year; I think of that most wonderful performance of the Easter Play on the afternoon of Holy Saturday prior to Easter Sunday; I am aware of performances of the equivalent of passion plays such as Christ at Dundas ."  Cardinal O'Brien concludes with a reminder of how sizeable a group Christian churchgoers still are:  "despite talk of decline we do perhaps need to remember that according to the last National Census around two thirds of Scots still describe themselves as Christians. Churchgoers today are self-selecting, they opt to go to chu...

When preaching at Bishop John s Episcopal Ordination I remembered those words in stone in the crypt of the Scots ColIege...
