This Sunday is Day for Life in the Church in Scotland. This year’s theme is ‘The Wonder of the Child in the Womb’ and reflects on the humanity of the unborn child and acknowledges, with compassion, the deep grief experienced by parents who lose a child before or shortly after birth. You will find the Bishops’ Letter along with other materials here: www.bcos.org.uk/dayforlife. There will be a second collection towards the Bishops’ Conference Day for Life Fund www.bcos.org.uk/Day-for-Life-Fund which offers grants for pro-life initiatives and other initiatives that allow people to live life to the full.
