On our View from Earth blog this week, “Sandra’s Diary” reflects on the assumptions going on holiday leads us to question. • We bring you the story of John Clerk of Penicuik from “God’s People”. • Andrew Barr takes us back to John Clerk of Penicuik and a house which took him by surprise. • We face the questions agitating the Vatican after Pope Francis’ views on marriage by going back to a much earlier programme. • And Gail ranges from Joan of Arc to the Lake District and John Wesley. • In the news, the Boys’ Brigade has moved to break its traditional links with the kirk and instead to welcome members of all faiths and none in a bid to boost dwindling numbers.
