"God has not abandoned us" - says Moderator

Published on 29 March 2020

Christians have been urged to "hang onto their faith" as the world continues to deal with the Coronavirus pandemic.

Rt Rev Colin Sinclair, Moderator of the General Assembly, said he believed with all his heart that God "has not abandoned us".
