If you care at all about the Christian church you must brace yourself for a roller coaster of emotions as you read A Sad Departure.

The title contains a double entendre. On the one hand, it alludes to the departure from the Church of Scotland of about forty ministers and many members. On the other hand, it refers to the catalyst of these actions - the departure of the Kirk from its moorings in the authority of Scripture by its decisions on "the gay question".

A Sad Departure tells a dark story, almost novelesque in character. A church's Theological Commission reaches a unanimous conclusion on the teaching on marriage given in its ultimate authority, the Bible. But then its General Assembly acts in a way that ignores, demeans, and rejects that teaching. Thus behind these sad departures lies the prior and much sadder departure of the Kirk from its sacred constitution.

This is a thoughtful, honest and solemnising book written out of a deeply personal and pastoral concern for the cause of the gospel.
- From the Foreword by Sinclair B. Ferguson
