Pastoral Care
As the Chaplain for Affirmation Scotland,
I promise to be non-judgmental,
listen in confidence,
ask appropriate questions,
and work with you from your perspective
about whatever it is you are facing.
As a Protestant minister, I pledge to be non-sectarian.
Every faith tradition has a liberal-conservative spectrum,
and there are more differences within each faith
tradition
than there are among faith traditions,
especially when it comes to reflecting God's inclusive love.
The Rev Lindsay Louise Biddle
