Our latest news:
Jesuits: statement on Gaza
A CFI member, who is also a member of the Society of Jesus
, has made us aware of a statement issued by the Jesuits about the situation in Gaza.
They say that they cannot remain silent in the face of the failure of anyone to stop the killing and halt the famine. The deaths, injuries, disease and homelessness are not inevitable but are the result of deliberate choices, and they advocate their dream for a different future and “the only road to true peace”.
We urge you to read the whole statement.
Talk on Gaza
We are very pleased to announce that we will be hosting
a talk by Dr Philippa Whitford MP on Saturday 8th June on her work as a breast surgeon in Gaza. This will be a live, in-person event and will take place in the Albert Halls, Stirling. Full details and information on how to book a place will be available shortly.
Interview: strategies for Independence
Christians for Independence Convener Dave Thompson 
was interviewed recently on the Scottish Indy Podcast, in a series on Strategies for Independence. The discussion covered many aspects such as how we build support for independence, the role of a Constitutional Convention, the forthcoming UK General Election and more.
You can watch the interview on YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pZJnO2OUj80, or listen to it on the Scottish Indy Podcast website at https://scottishindypod.scot/scottish-party-politics/independence-strategy-debates-pt3/.
Route to Independence
Like other independence-supporting organisations, we have been discussing the Route to Independence: what will work in the current political situation, and how can we achieve this? Dave Thompson, our Convener, has drawn up our agreed and preferred Route to Independence, taking into account revisions suggested at our last two members’ meetings. You can read the Route to Independence here, and we welcome comments on it.
Independence Forum Scotland
Christians for Independence is joining the new Independence Forum Scotland, with our Convener Dave Thompson as our representative. This is a new body which aims to unite the independence movement, set up a National Convention to try to achieve independence and, by means of working groups, deal with all aspects of establishing an independent state. It is not party-political and membership is composed of civic and grassroots bodies. We are very pleased to be a part of this promising new organisation.
