Care Standards Bill [H.L.] (28 Mar 2000)

Lord Weatherill: My Lords, in moving this amendment perhaps I should declare a personal interest.

Christian Scientists believe that healing is best achieved through prayer. Indeed, the weekly...

In any case, the suggestion that they should adopt some other title is entirely due to the...

Scottish Parliament: David Livingstone Bicentenary (13 Mar 2013)

Dave Thompson: I am sorry about that. The young David Livingstone grew up in a household in which he was surrounded by Christian values—I will say it again so that people get it this time.

David emulated his father’s love of theology and his father’s...
