Meet your MSP
This is an exciting new project from the SCPO (Scottish Churches
Parliamentary Office) building links between congregations and their recently
elected MSPs.
The SCPO wants church communities to be at the heart of the decisions that
affect our everyday lives and what better way to get involved than for your
church to meet local MSPs early in their term of office.
The project begins this summer as MSPs are on recess from the Scottish
Parliament and will be based locally. The SCPO will provide ideas and
information that will help you to organise meetings that will be interesting for
everyone involved. It could be a public meeting, an invitation to a project or
church event that you are already organising, or it could be a walk in your
local area to highlight issues that you would like addressed.
The possibilities are endless, but making contact early is crucial.
The SCPO would like as many churches as possible to get involved and for
you to let it know what you are planning leading to a celebration of church
engagement at a Scottish Parliament event in February 2017.
Further information will be available on the SCPO website www.actsparl.org
including ideas from the following networks:
Eco Congregation Scotland
Scottish Churches Housing Action
Priority Areas and Faith in Communities Scotland.
The project is also gratefully supported by ACTS (Action of Churches
Together in Scotland).
