Bishop ’ s Lecture
Bishop Gregor Duncan promises some highly personal views in June when he presents his annual lecture on the relevance of our Episcopalian liturgy to the people around us .
Can it introduce them to the living God ? What about its language , its ceremony , its symbolism ; does it connect or does it alienate ; does it express a relationship with God or is it an anachronism ?
The event takes place on 27th June , 2016 , at Holy Trinity & St Barnabas , Mirren House , Back Sneddon Street , Paisley PA3 2AF .
On August the 28 the regular church service will be shifted to 3 pm because + Gregor will be coming along to the St Oswald ’ s church family and will celebrate the confirmations of Linda Allen , Linda and Lucy Hardie . Please keep them all in your prayers as they prepare to make this commitment to the Scottish Episcopal church and to Christ Jesus .
