Fertility Care Scotland clinics teaching Natural Family Planning methods are still open remotely

The Gospel tells us how the Church’s first Easter encounter with the Risen Lord was a quiet affair.  While almost all of the disciples were locked down at home, two women of their number went up to the Tomb in the dark as their representatives and carried out the necessary rites on behalf of them all. 

In today’s Gospel Mary of Magdalen comes to the Tomb.  We hear how she is still in the dark as she approaches the scene; still in the dark as to the real meaning of all that has happened since the Lord was taken away from her on Calvary, and her own Way of the Cross had begun.

The Scottish and Welsh Governments have unfortunately followed the UK Government and introduced ‘DIY’ abortions to Scotland and Wales. The very substantial change has been announced without any public consultation, parliamentary scrutiny or debate.  

The ACN School Team have been working on  a series of daily resources which we hope will be helpful to all those working to teach children from home during the Covid-19 lockdown and will also be useful in primary classrooms once schools have reopened.   Please share your school community’s engagement with our initiatives on Twitter @ACN_Scotland and Facebook https://www.facebook.com/acn.scotland.office

For children stuck indoors, books are a great escape — so we’re delighted to share an activity pack for pupils based on excerpts from the bestselling book ‘The Shed That Fed A Million Children’, written by our founder Magnus MacFarlane-Barrow.
