For the first time ever the entire Bishops’ Conference visited our Scottish MPs at Westminster, organised by Anthony Horan our Parliamentary Officer. We met with the Scottish Office, celebrated Mass in Westminster and had an open meeting with the MPs for dialogue and building relationships. I was delighted that all 4 of the MPs who represent the people of our diocese participated in the Mass: Brendan O’Hara (Argyll, Bute & South Lochaber), Angus MacDonald (Inverness, Skye & West Ross-shire), Torcuil Crichton (Na h-Eileanan an Iar) and Irene Campbell (not in photo but represents Arran). The MPs expressed their gratitude for our visit which they described as supportive. Issues raised included sectarianism, migration and racism, the cutting of Overseas Development Aid, welfare cuts, child poverty and (toxic) social media.
