The Scotland-based Destiny Church is suing the Edinburgh city council over the cancellation of a three-day conference because the council objects to the participation of Louisiana pastor Larry Stockstill and his views on homosexuality.Â
The Edinburgh Evening News reports that the multicampus Destiny Church launched legal action last week after the Edinburgh Council canceled the churchâs June booking of the Edinburgh Usher Hall for its âSurge Conference.âÂ
A keynote speaker scheduled for the conference is Stockstill, the former pastor of the multicampus Bethany World Prayer Center in Louisiana, which is now led by his son, Jonathan. Stockstill also founded the Surge Project, a church planting network.Â

Facing a full hearing of a lawsuit, the Edinburgh city council agreed to apologize and pay over $35,000 (£25,000) to the Scotland-based Destiny Church for canceling a three-day conference because its keynote speaker, U.S. Pastor Larry Stockstill, had spoken against homosexuality and abortion.
Apart from offering to pay the damages, the council has acknowledged that it had âfailed to meet its equalities duties to Destiny Ministries in terms of the Equality Act 2010 and therefore acted unlawfully,â and that it had failed to take account of Destinyâs rights as protected by the European Convention on Human Rights, Christian legal firm ADF U.K. said in a statement.

Live from the Bethany World Prayer Center in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, comes the third album by this ever impressive worship aggregation. Swell delivers a combination of hard hitting rock numbers and gentle, atmospheric ballads, packed with punchy guitar riffs and memorable melodies. The five-piece also brought in a couple of guests, including Stu Garrard from Delirious? (although his role wasn t as prominent as I d have hoped, I wouldn t have even noticed without studying the credits). Though the entire album was of the highest quality, lyrically and musically proficient throughout the self-penned 12 songs here. The particular highlights for me were the openers Lift Him High , Swell and Your Joy while You Are Welcome effectively took the mood down to a soothing tenderness. All in all, a top rate worship project.
