New Scotland Evangelical Alliance Head Pledges to Tackle Community Problems

The new head of the Scottish Evangelical Alliance, Dr Fred Drummond will take up his post on Saturday 1 July 2006.

Dr Drummond, who has been a Church of Scotland Minister in Perth for the past 15 years, has commented that as he takes up his new position that one of his main concerns is that Scotland is becoming an increasingly fragmented society, with community and family relationships breaking down, and many people feeling isolated and hopeless.

He declared that this was an area that he intended to tackle full-on from his new post.

“The Evangelical Alliance represents Christians of all denominations across Scotland, and I hope to encourage individual Christians, and Churches, to work together to heal the divisions in Scotland,” Dr Drummond said.
