To make our money really matter on #ClimateAction, we must ensure it isn't invested in fossil fuels. So I signed this open letter asking Guy Opperman to stop discouraging #divestment - fossil fuels have no place in our new #GreenEconomy UnitedReformedChurch gofossilfree.org/uk/open-letter…

I too am thankful for the generous hospitality and warm friendships which characterise SABS. Scotland is a richer place through their faithful witness. We are separated by social distance, not love and respect. Scottish Ahlul Bayt Society (SABS) InterfaithScot Bishop Mark Strange

A joy to ordain Susan Henderson to the Ministry of Word and Sacraments and induct her to serve Port Glasgow, Greenock East and Greenock West URCs. A cloud of prayerful witness, in one place socially-distanced, in many places online. The Scottish College @suz_nairn UnitedReformedChurch

Changes brings many emotions I'll be sorry to move on from my fulfilling ministry as #Synod Moderator in #Scotland, there is so much to give thanks for, and I'm excited to return to a pastoral ministry, and with my wife Jan, move closer to our family.
