What can I say Sunday was a great day. I really enjoyed the morning service , when it came to the evening it was great to experiment with praise music and Scottish dancing.

A term that has its roots in America but at the preset time seems to be engaging a number of people in the CofS. In a couple of weeks Brian McLaren one of the leaders of this movement will be in Scotland. It was an interesting conference with quite a number of diverse people in attendance.
