Donald Macleod, retired professor of systematic theology at the Free Church of Scotland College in Edinburgh (2011), [url=http://www.donaldmacleod.org/?p=424]]]reports[/url] on the history of Presbyterianism:"Where, then, have all the “tulips” gone? The plain truth is, they were never there. There was probably only one period in Scottish history when Calvinism was really in control, and that was between 1638 and 1649, when the Kirk was led by the great though diverse talents of Alexander Henderson, Samuel Rutherford and George Gillespie. Presbyterianism held the conscience of the nation, the nobility briefly cast in their lot with the Church, and the English Parliament was desperate for her help in defence of national liberties. Long before the movement could permanently change the face of Scotland it was reined-in by Cromwell’s Ironsides and then crushed by Claverhouse’s dragoons." The "Calvinist" Presbyterian Kirk is a 350 year old myth that was finally debunked this week when the Scottish Parliament voted for Same-Sex Marriage. The tulip was "never there" in the Kirk. |
