First New Jersey and now... Scotland?

I thought it was time again to dust off this venerable topic...

From todays Sunday Times- Scotland:

"This weekend the Kirk "” one of the last bastions of Presbyterian rectitude "” signalled that it is ready to bless gay weddings for the first time. The admission may be enough to make John Knox... the father of the Protestant reformation in Scotland, spin in his grave, but it is an unmistakable sign of changing times.

Sheilagh Kesting, who takes over as the new moderator of the Church of Scotland's general assembly next May, says "the time is right" to allow Kirk ministers to conduct services marking civil partnerships... "

That news and other world news such as the recent Anglican New Zealand controversy makes me realize that there is a revolution happening-- it's just that the US has fallen so far behind the rest of the Western World.
