  • FROM the INTERIM MODERATOR Dear Friends
    www.kiltarlityandkirkhill.org.uk Kiltarlity and Wardlaw Churches FROM THE INTERIM MODERATOR Dear friends, This morning’s news told of the kidnapping of a bishop in Syria whom I met when I was there in Aleppo in 1995. Alas it’s a tiny though nevertheless horrible part of the current Syrian crisis – and a reminder of there being nothing impersonal about struggles and suffering in today’s world. Whether or not we know people caught up in the Boston bombing or the earthquakes in Iran and China, each and every human being are known and precious. ( How much we come to realise that when trouble comes close to us ! ) I preached recently on a passage in John’s gospel where people were asking hard questions. Quite right, for the next issue is what are the good answers ? People ask very reasonably, what is good religion; how important is faith ? How do we answer that ? Around Jesus, and I suspect in many people’s minds nowadays, understandably, feelings ran high that someone who is very fired up by their faith is dangerous. They are potentially unstable, a firebrand who could cause damage as much as bring help. So are we just going to be moderate and reasonable and perhaps not too much one way or the other ? The food for thought is how Jesus dealt with this. Jesus had a strong faith. There was teaching that he was utterly committed to, an outlook on life which he would not compromise. And his primary response to those who asked, is all this passion a good idea, was to say well, let’s think about what actions have followed.

  • HIGHLAND COUNCIL Committee: City of Inverness Area Committee
    Agenda 5 Item Report CIA/25/20 No HIGHLAND COUNCIL Committee: City of Inverness Area Committee Date: 19 November 2020 Inner Moray Firth Local Development Plan 2 - Main Issues Report Title: Report Report By: Executive Chief Officer - Infrastructure and Environment 1. PURPOSE/EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 1.1 This report seeks approval for the Main Issues Report for the second Inner Moray Firth Local Development Plan to be published for public consultation. The Main Issues Report enclosed at Appendix 1 has been shaped by a series of appraisals, engagements and discussions outlined in Section 4 of this report. Approval of this consultation document by Committee will allow the Council to seek views on the options for addressing the main issues affecting the future of the area, and also where to direct future development, in the Inner Moray Firth area. 2. RECOMMENDATIONS 2.1 Members are asked to: i. approve the Main Issues Report (as applicable to this committee area) to be published for public consultation, accepting that a number of minor presentational and typographical changes will be made prior to publication; ii. agree the approach to consultation outlined in paragraph 6.1 of this report; and iii. note the important role that the plan will play in addressing the Climate & Ecological Emergency, economic recovery, and in taking forward the Council’s agreed Indicative Regional Spatial Strategy recently submitted to Scottish Government. 3. IMPLICATIONS 3.1 Resource: Resources to complete the statutory processes are allowed for within the Service budget. 3.2 Legal and Risk: the Plan can be challenged in the courts but only on matters of process not planning judgement emphasising the need for the Council to continue to adhere to all statutory procedures throughout the Plan’s progress so that the Council will have a defensible position in the event of any challenge.
