Enterprise update

Good to hear that the Scottish Executive is going to package up the enterprise company shortfalls.


Churches that are Non- Presbyterian( and Evangelical)

An other interesting conversation at the weekend centred around the setting up and encouraging of Non-Presbyterian churches not in oppostion to the existing various Presbyterian but as an alternative expression of worship and praise in the community for those who:

• are relatively new to the area and have had the benefit of other expressions of worship

• for those in the Highlands who would prefer a contemporary church practice

• For those who are looking for an independent/or congregationalism authority in the church meeting

Before you get on your hobby horse there are many in the Highlands who would have a preference to non Presbyterian style of Church. It is easily forgotten that some of these Non-Presbyterian Churches existed in the Highlands before the now established and several Free Churches.


I am sure there is a need for a variety of expressions of Church praise in the Highlands. I am also encouraged with the recent signs of these expressions being promoted.

Dornoch cathedral

Dornoch Cathedral why is it only famous as the site of Madonna's wedding of a few years ago. Is there nothing left of the Church in Scotland?
