Rival Highland MSPs are going head-to-head this weekend to try to influence the voting intentions of Christians in the independence referendum.
Dave Thompson, SNP MSP for Skye, Lochaber and Badenoch, Labour’s Rhoda Grant and Conservative Mary Scanlon will field questions during the event at Smithton Culloden Free Church in Inverness on Saturday.
The event is the last in a series of debates organised by Evangelical Alliance Scotland.
Last month, the organisation released its referendum manifesto, titled What Kind of Nation?, which called for the views of ordinary people to be heard on issues of poverty, welfare, investment incentives for the wealthy.
Fred Drummond, national director of Evangelical Alliance Scotland, said the What Kind of Nation? – Seven Cities tour had provided a “significant moment” in the referendum debate.
“These church-hosted debates have attracted more of Scotland’s leading political figures than any other debates in the country,” he added.
“It is our hope and prayer, that politicians will answer the big questions about Scotland’s future and go beyond the narrow debate that has characterised much of the conversation so far.”
The alliance represents more than 750 organisations and two million evangelical Christians in 3,500 churches across 79 denominations in Scotland and the UK.
