| Christian Churches in Scotland have issued a statement condemning domestic violence of any kind. The statement has been endorsed by the Catholic Church as well as the Church of Scotland, Salvation Army, Methodist and Episcopalian Churches. “Abuse in the home is a violation of God’s wish for us and creates substantial damage in the family, in the community and in society as a whole,” the statement read. Women, in particular, need to know that where there was no safety in a marriage, there was no sanctity and that the marriage vows had been broken by the abuser. It added that at the centre of any intervention work, the safety of those being abused was paramount. | |

But it also claims that the good work has stalled and there is little prospect of the pledge being met unless incoming Prime Minister Gordon Brown commits an additional lump sum to the £1 billion already earmarked for tax credits in the 2007 budget. | |
