David F. Wright

We give thanks to God for the life of Professor David F. Wright who died on Tuesday 19th February.

A service of thanksgiving for David's life was held on Wednesday 27th February at Palmerston Place Church, Edinburgh, during which a number fine tributes were made by Prof. Jay Brown, Prof. Tony Lane, Rev. Phil Hair and Rev. Martin Allen.

David was hugely influential in the reforming of Forward Together and very supportive and encouraging towards us. We pray for Anne-Marie and the family at this time.

Current Issues

HUMAN FERTILISATION
AND EMBRYOLOGY BILL

What the Kirk says...

The 2006 General Assembly decided to:

"Oppose the creation for research or therapy of parthenogenetic human embryos, animal-human hybrid or chimeric embryos, or human embryos that have been deliberately made non-viable."

The 2007 General Assembly re-emphasised its opposition to the creation of these embryos with the following deliverance:

"Freshly urge Her Majesty’s Government in the proposed revision of the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Act not to include a legislative provision which would allow the creation for research or therapy of parthenogenetic human embryos, animal-human hybrid or chimeric embryos or embryos that have been deliberately made non-viable."
