Odd indeed, don't understand it at all.

The letter reads like a standard letter with somebody copying & pasting from a template.
It's not as if the Church is broke. I get an impression of plain bloody mindedness.

The latest we have is that she will definately not be allowed to come. (That's from the Principal Clerk to the General Assembly, meeting in Edinburgh at this moment. From what I gather, 121 George Street - the Kirk's HQ - had offered to pay all expenses for the trip and stand guarantor of surity that the minister would leave within five days of the address to Assembly, but London dug its' heels in.

Sorry, can't work out what you are trying to say here.

It would take understanding of the history of Scotland and how the mind of people there works.
A little like the question. " How do you get a 100 Argentinians in a phone box?" Answer: Tell them it isn't theirs.

Speaking as a Scot I'm curious to know the source of your 'understanding' of how our apparently collective 'mind set' works - care to elaborate?

So, in your case, that would be a negative score, then.
Your knowledge of the history of Scotland is balanced only by your inability to perceive your ignorance.
