We were delighted to hear that our friend Rev Dr Michael Paterson has been short-listed for election to the office of Bishop of Glasgow & Galloway. The Electoral Synod meets on Saturday 9 March, with the election of the new Bishop on Saturday 16 March, and we ask your prayers both for all the candidates and for those who have to discern God’s will for the future direction of their diocese.

We were so pleased that the announcement linked below recognises Michael’s service to St Margaret’s, where he encouraged and inspired us during our inter-regnum, and preached many memorable sermons. Enter Paterson in the search box, and you’ll find some of them used in our Thoughts for the Month!
