From the Manse

General Assembly – I write this an hour or so before I leave for Edinburgh and this year’s General Assembly. So I don’t know how it will have all turned out. I have prepared for the three occasions on which I may be asked to take the Chair and I am looking forward to the debates.

According to the Press – always willing us to self-destruct so that they have a story – it will be a momentous Assembly. Was it? In their eyes, I hope not! I hope that they were disappointed, and that the 700+ folk from all over the Kirk, met prayerfully under God, made wise and faithful decisions, and kept “the unity and peace of the Church” to which they are all foresworn a ordained servants.

From the Manse

At last, Spring has sprung! Was that one of the longest winters ever, or was it just me? The warmer weather and the crocuses and daffodils bursting out of the ground combine to cheer the soul.

And they surround our celebration of Easter. You’ll notice in the Diary that the Holy Week Services are in the Old High Kirk this year. The week begins with a Family Service for Palm Sunday and ends with Easter Sunday - this time with some new folk professing their faith and joining the Church. Hope to see you sometime!
