Support equality
We understand that one person's equality is another person's discrimination. We believe that facing that challenge and being willing to change is how a society becomes more just. That is why, for example, we have strongly supported the development of a socioeconomic equality duty on public services which forms part of this bill.
We feel it is time to affirm our position at the Church of Scotland. Equality always has to be a major consideration, whatever our starting point.
