Gabrielle and I travelled up to Perth yesterday through sunshine, rain and hail and temperatures ranging from 2.5C to 10C. We have a lot of weather in Scotland.
It’s a while since I have been in Perth and was taken aback at how many churches are clustered around the city centre. It makes for a very impressive sky-line but more than anything else a great potential for Christian witness. A bit like Milngavie. There are eight congregations here representing five different traditions. There is much impressive work done together but I cannot help but feel that in these very challenging days for the Gospel we need to pull together more. C.S. Lewis once said that hardship would bring the churches together more to share the things they have in common. Maybe if we cannot do it ourselves God will do it for us!
