Many in our community will have been saddened to hear the news over the weekend of the death of our Member of Parliament, David Taylor. He was admired by many, whatever their political views, as an excellent constituency MP. He preferred to follow his conscience in the House of Commons, rather than seek ministerial office. He was a practising member of the Church of England, and his Christian faith informed his attitudes on issues to do with the sanctity of life and on questions of justice and peace.
Our prayers and good wishes go out to his family. May he rest in peace. Amen.
