Response
to the Rev Alex MacDonald
In our last issue of Foundations
(January 2000) we responded to an attack upon our integrity by the
Rev Alex MacDonald. This article of Mr MacDonald was entitled “True or
False” and was posted on the Free Church Message Board and subsequently
printed as a letter in The Monthly Record (January 2000). One point raised by Mr MacDonald continues
to generate queries. We had said: “The only committee [the sub-committee]
which looked at all the evidence came to the unanimous conclusion that
he [Principal Donald Macleod] should be tried”. Mr MacDonald objected
stating that “subsequently the papers which constituted the evidence were
copied to the whole Committee, and the whole Committee again came to the
same finding”. Having carefully checked out this matter we believe that
our original statement was accurate because only a fraction of all the
available papers and evidence was seen by the whole Committee.
