The Power of the Church. IN almost every age there has been a diversity of opinion as to the power of the Church of Christ on earth. This diversity of opinion is brought very prominently to our notice in the history of the Church in our own land since the time of the Reformation. Romanists claim that the Church is above the III State and that the Pope has the right to depose Kings and remove governments, in virtue of his claim to be the head of the Church. Erastians maintain that the Church is the creature of the State, and that the power of discipline and government in the Church i is committed to the office-bearens of the Church by the civil magistrate.

  • Appropriate Assessment of the Policies and Proposals Has Been Undertaken, Under the Provisions of Article 6(3) and (4) of the Habitats Directive 1992**
    West Highland & Islands Local Plan: Habitats Regulations Appraisal Finalised Version Habitats Regulations Appraisal (including Appropriate Assessment) of the West Highland & Islands Local Plan Finalised Version (September 2010) 1 West Highland & Islands Local Plan: Habitats Regulations Appraisal Finalised Version Foreword This document has been prepared under the requirements of the EU Habitats Directive and has applied the requirements set out by Scottish Government Policy. It is the Highland Council’s responsibility to consider whether the policies and proposals within the West Highland & Islands Local Plan are likely to have any significant effect on Special Protection Areas (including proposed SPAs), Special Areas of Conservation (including proposed SACs) and Ramsar sites, having regard to the qualifying interests and conservation objectives of those sites. Where a likely significant effect has been identified, appropriate assessment has been undertaken in order to try to ascertain whether the policies and proposals will adversely affect the integrity of the sites protected by the EU Directive and Scottish Government Policy (“the sites”). Mitigation measures have been provided where necessary in order to avoid adversely affecting the integrity of the sites. This has involved making changes to the Plan where necessary. The Council now believes that the Plan’s policies and proposals will not adversely affect the integrity of the sites. We have successfully concluded with certainty that that is the case. During the preparation of this document and the consideration of relevant representations on the Local Plan the Highland Council had discussions with and input from Scottish Natural Heritage (SNH) and the Scottish Environment Protection Agency (SEPA) in particular which helped identify and address any potential shortcomings.

  • Schottland Zum Vierten
    Schottland zum Vierten Ort: Isle of Skye Reisezeit: 11-20. September 2009 Airline: Easyjet via Genf (organisatorisch ab Genf verschlechtert. Ab Edinburgh immernoch top) Wetter: 8 Tage Sonnenschein! Die Isle of Skye (An t-Eilean Sgitheanach, auch Eilean a' Cheò, deutsch: Insel des Nebels) wurde ihrem Ruf als Insel mit dem feuchtesten Wetter in Schottland dieses Jahr nicht gerecht: Wir hatten eine Woche lang den schönsten Sonnenschein, ein paar Wölkchen, die sich am Mittag jedoch wieder schön brav verzogen. Skye ist die größte Insel der Inneren Hebriden. Sie liegt unmittelbar vor der Westküste des Festlands im Atlantik. Die Insel ist gut 80 km lang und ca. 40 km breit. Fahrten zum einen Ende der Küste, kann sich daher extrem in die Länge ziehen! Mit ca 10'000 Einwohnern zählt Skye nicht gerade zu den meistbewohnten Gegenden. Wahrscheinlich sind im Sommer mehr Touristen auf der Insel J. Wir waren erstaunt, dass die B&Bs zu dieser Zeit noch fast alle ausgebucht waren. Die Strassen waren ebenfalls viel mit Motorhomes übersäht. Für uns hat Skye 2 Gesichter: einerseits bietet sie traumhafte Küsten und einsame Buchten; die langen Distanzen dahin, die vielen Touristen auf den Strassen die das vorankommen erschweren (wir sind zwar selber welche) und die dünngesähten, guten Restaurants werfen jedoch einen kleinen Schatten auf diese Insel. Um Skye zu erkunden reicht eine Woche nicht wirklich aus. Selten fährt man 90 minuten pro Weg, wenn man eine 2-4 Stunden Wanderung an der Küste unternehmen möchte. Hat man mit dem Wetter nicht solches Glück wie wir, sollte man sich für ein paar Gegenden entscheiden.

The would-be severest critic could not criticise it more severely than he. But a pioneer may surely at all "times claim a certain measure of grace and indulgence, if the critic find here anything that is truly useful all, he is courteously entreated to lend his much- needed aid to make the book better, instead of picking out the many shortcomings which a first attempt in this philological field cannot but display. The book has been long a-gathering, and has been compiled in the mere shreds and fragments of time which could be spared from the conscientious discharge of exception- ally heavy ministerial work. It has been composed away from all large libraries, to which the writer was able to make occasional reference and both in only ; the writing and in the passing through the press though he has done his best he has been subject to incessant interruption.
