TOM Gordon claims a “dubious whiff coming off Mr Salmond s Alba Party” ( Something doesn’t smell right about the Alba Party , The Herald, April 8), but there is a bit of stink about his argument. He seems puzzled that Alba is not targeting wavering No voters, but as the party that claims that it will “hold the SNP’s feet to the fire if necessary” over seeking independence, just what kind of pitch does Mr Gordon think would be successful? Much of the rest of his argument stands up to a similar – limited – level scrutiny but are basically word games. Mr Gordon is much too experienced a member of the press to expect a politician to offer up “definitions” since, as sure as night follows day, they will be used against them at some point in the future.
Herald on Sunday letters: The continuing decline in interest in the Christian faith is tragic for humanity I NOTE Neil Mackay’s The Big Read article (“A crisis of faith”, April 4) in which the Moderator of the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland, the Rt Rev Dr Martin Fair, is reported as maintaining that “Christianity isn’t about those who like to sing hymns on Sunday, it’s about being where people are vulnerable, fragile and broken – and being alongside them.” I read elsewhere that the Archbishop of Canterbury in his Easter message referred to the church getting “involved with resisting injustice, treasuring our world, tending the needy – it’s why Christians throughout the centuries have lived with compassion and love for all who are excluded and marginalised.”
