17 years ago I said this on my FB profile. Even back then, I was looking at how we can do and be church differently. And I now know of a couple of churches who are doing this very thing. Need some help to think outside the box? Drop me a message!

A joy (despite the rain) to come back to the Charteris Centre for a HeartEdge and Church of Scotland conference: "Abundant Churches - Creative, Missional, and Sustainable". Looking forward to a great day of learning and networking.

Whether you're a fan of musical theatre or not, you absolutely need to see this show. Not cos I'm in it - that's the last reason to come! But because it is simply stunning. It's probably the best, and certainly the most powerful, piece of theatre I've ever been involved with.

Off to the Scottish Fundraising Conference for a couple of days, where I help look after the conference volunteers as well as learning loads and this year, delivering a session on Faith Based Funding. If you're heading to Glasgow for the conference, come and say hi

It's Exam Results day in Scotland. So I'm resharing a blog I wrote last year about this. My prayers are with everyone receiving exam results today that you may see a path forward, short or long term, but forward no matter what those results say.

Awesome work from @fhscreative.bsky.social @dramaqueentait.bsky.social etc in the @falkirkhighschool.bsky.social show tonight. A truly amazing performance on and off the stage. So many talents on show-and not just the dramatic ones. Something for the whole school to be proud of. Here's to next year!

Back here again today. It's not all glamour though. I'm blitzing through a National Lottery Heritage Fund application form so will be mostly either staring at the laptop or out of the window!
