Comments on: Homecoming a moral dilemma? http://www.italker.org.uk/2008/10/homecoming-a-moral-dilemma/ Life, as seen from Bo'ness Sun, 29 Jan 2012 16:55:46 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: iTalker http://www.italker.org.uk/2008/10/homecoming-a-moral-dilemma/comment-page-1/#comment-298 iTalker Thu, 16 Oct 2008 00:04:31 +0000 http://blog.standonline.org.uk/italker/?p=684#comment-298 Dan, thank you for your comment. I'm all for making links and partnerships all over the place. However,I think the greater impact could be the Christian legacy of past generations returning to Scotland. If congregations with overseas partners are willing to host them and pay for their visits they could be a great impact for good in this country. As a nation today we are spiritual paupers. To ask the average Scot about Celtic spirituality they might think you were talking about the devotion that some Scots have to a football team. The economic down turn is going to impact on tourism from abroad in a big way. I think churches could be the hosts to many of their partners from the developing world. However these are not the people that the people from Visit Scotland want, because they will have no money to spend. The Homecoming was predicated on Scots returning home from Canada America and Australia. I think the partnerships that churches can enter into will undoubtedly be less economically viable Dan,

Let's impact the worldwide Scots diaspora with what is being done here in Christ, so that they can take that home. Surely there are great riches to share with them.
