At the same time, we have made 14:00] new connections with neighbours and folks in our communities whom we would otherwise simply Time for Reflection have waved at as we jumped into our cars and headed to work.

The Rev David T Young (Parish Minister and Every blessing to you all, and thanks again. Team Leader, Helensburgh Parish Church): Presiding Officer and members of the Scottish The Presiding Officer: Thank you very much. Parliament, good afternoon and thank you for this opportunity to address you. In 2017, I had the privilege of participating in a pulpit exchange with a senior pastor in the Presbyterian Church (USA). For six weeks, I worked with Hickory First Presbyterian church in North Carolina. I lived in my counterpart’s home, drove his car, worked from his office and preached from his pulpit. It was a daunting experience, travelling across the Atlantic to live and work among people I had never met in a place I had never visited. Then again, life begins at the end of our comfort zone. Being from Ardrossan, I was naturally quite concerned that my accent would bamboozle them. In fact, a member of the committee that was responsible for all staffing in the large church complex prayed ahead of my first sermon that “the congregation would understand him”. Of course, I had to share that with the congregation. They laughed, so the prayer must have worked. What struck me most during this cultural and professional exchange was the warmth of the welcome. Connections with people were made so easily, the hospitality was fantastic, and the affirmation that I received from everyone with whom I was fortunate to come into contact was a complete blessing. Before returning to Scotland, I was interviewed by the local newspaper. The headline for the article stated simply “They’re Like Family”, because I spoke of the warmth with which I was welcomed and the way in which people took me under their wing. I did not have to cook a meal during the entire six weeks. We have all thought a lot about family and connections in this past year. We have had to 3 16 MARCH 2021 4 Point of Order Business Motion 14:04 14:04 Bill Bowman (North East Scotland) (Con): On The Presiding Officer (Ken Macintosh): The a point of order, Presiding Officer.

Scottish Executive Barry Winetrobe 1.1 Collective responsibility The application of the doctrine of collective responsibility has been under the spotlight in the Glasgow hospitals issue. The Culture Minister, Mike Watson, has been a leading public opponent of the reorganisation plan, but voted with the Executive in a debate on the issue on 12 September. His MPA, Janis Hughes, put herself in an even more unusual position, by abstaining on the Executive amendment to the critical SNP motion, but then voting for the as-amended motion. The First Minister refused to sack either, on the basis that they had both adhered to collective responsibility by their votes.
