  • Minutes of the Edinburgh Diocesan Synod Held on 11 March 2017 at St Paul’S & St George’S Church, Edinburgh
    Minutes of the Edinburgh Diocesan Synod held on 11 March 2017 at St Paul’s & St George’s Church, Edinburgh Synod held a moment of silence to remember those who had died since the last Synod: Duncan Forrester Margaret Aitchison Patrick Duncan Monica Cameron BISHOP’S ADDRESS Bishop John reflected on the story of our faith, a story retold in every age. He reminded Synod that 2017 marks the 500th anniversary of the beginning of the Lutheran Reformation and encouraged us to consider how the church of the present might be refreshed and renewed. He indicated that whilst this Synod would deliberate on hard and difficult matters it would also hear stories of good news about new opportunities for mission and ministry around the diocese. He said, ‘We’re at a time when in order to grasp the new we may have to let go of the old. And that’s hard. What’s crucial, then, is that we act with confidence in God not with fear or resignation. That we renew our longing for God, a God of abundance not scarcity, and renew our love for Christ’. [The full text of the Bishop’s address can be found on the Diocesan website] APOLOGIES AND WELCOMES The Very Revd Frances Burberry welcomed the following newcomers to Synod: • Patricia Brignall - Lay Rep, St Cuthbert’s Colinton • Lesley Stanley – St Peter’s Linlithgow • Miller Bogie – Lay Rep, St Thomas’ Edinburgh • Claire Nicholson - Lay Rep, St John’s Jedburgh • Rosemary Wilson - Lay Reader, St Cuthbert’s Hawick • Jamie McDonald – Alt Lay Rep, St Mark’s Portobello • Pauline Moss - Lay Rep, St Mary’s Grangemouth • The

  • Dear President Trump and Members of Congress, As Religious Leaders from a Variety of Backgrounds, We Are Called by Our Sacred
    Dear President Trump and Members of Congress, As religious leaders from a variety of backgrounds, we are called by our sacred texts and faith traditions to love our neighbor, accompany the vulnerable, and welcome the sojourner. War, conflict and persecution have forced people to leave their homes, creating more refugees, asylum seekers and internally displaced people than at any other time in history. More than 65 million people are currently displaced – the largest number in recorded history. This nation has an urgent moral responsibility to receive refugees and asylum seekers who are in dire need of safety. Today, with more than five million Syrian refugees fleeing violence and persecution and hundreds of thousands of civilian casualties, the United States has an ethical obligation as a world leader to reduce this suffering and generously welcome Syrian refugees into our country. We call on the Trump Administration and all members of the U.S. Congress to demonstrate moral leadership and affirm their support for the resettlement of refugees from all over the world to the United States. This nation has a rich history as a leader in refugee resettlement, with significant precedent, including after World War II and after the fall of Saigon, when we resettled hundreds of thousands of refugees. It is important to recognize that the United States has the most rigorous refugee screening process in the world, involving the Department of Defense, Department of State, Department of Homeland Security, Federal Bureau of Investigation, and National Counter Terrorism Center. The process includes biometric checks, medical screenings, forensic testing of documents, DNA testing for family reunification cases, and in-person interviews with highly trained homeland security officials.

  • The Communicant 24 November 2016
    The Communicant News and Notices for the Diocese of Edinburgh 24th November 2016 Published by the Diocesan Office fortnightly, and circulated to all Clergy, Lay Readers, Treasurers & Vestry Secretaries, and Diocesan Synod Lay & Alternate Lay Representatives. NEXT EDITION: 8th December 2016 NOTICES ALL The Dean of Edinburgh The Very Rev Susan Macdonald has announced that she is stepping down as Dean of Edinburgh. In speaking to the Diocesan Synod last week Susan said “Over the past 18 months I have been experiencing increasingly persistent balance problems with a number of associated issues, significantly among those being much reduced energy levels. I have undergone, and continue to undergo various medical investigations, but it has become clear that it is now time to take heed of strong medical advice to reduce my working hours. My time as Dean of the Diocese of Edinburgh has been a hugely rewarding and inspiring time. Of course not without its frustrations and challenges, but they were only a small part of it, for throughout it has been a great privilege to have been appointed by Bishop John to be his first Dean, and to serve alongside him throughout this time.” The Rt Rev Dr John Armes, Bishop of Edinburgh says “Susan Macdonald has been a brilliant Dean. She has been a vast source of wisdom and encouragement to me over nearly five years and I know many clergy and congregations will echo this tribute. I have been enormously fortunate to have as a close colleague someone who knows the diocese so well and who offers such a wealth of experience.
