So, 'Edinburgh Council pays damages for cancelling religious speaker' - tax payers' money, that is! So what?! A mighty triumph for the cause of Christendom? Surely not!
The last people who should be rejoicing at having Larry Stockstill are the Scottish Presbyterians who adhere to the Establishment Principle as expressed in the Westminster Confession of Faith [XXIII.3 Of the Civil Magistrate]: "The civil magistrate ... hath authority, and it is his duty, to take order, that unity and peace be preserved in the Church, that the truth of God be kept pure and entire; that all blasphemies and heresies be suppressed; all corruptions and abuses in worship and discipline prevented or reformed".
Edinburgh Council has failed the Church, yet again. And the same could be said of the Church!
