  • Northern Light, November 2016
    Northern Light News from the Scottish Episcopal Church Diocese of Aberdeen & Orkney December 2016 Scottish Charity No. SC022180 Issue 95 Christmas Edition The occasion of the Retirement Dinner of the Rt. Rev. Dr. Robert A. Gillies, Bishop of Aberdeen and Orkney , words by Rev Canon Tom Miller ,St Mary’s, Stromness When I was asked to speak about our Bishop, two phrases immediately came to mind, one a biblical reference and one from secular jargon - though it’s theologically sound I hasten to add. The biblical phrase is ‘the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth’ from Paul’s First Letter to the Corinthians as incorporated into the Prayer Book canticle Pascha nostrum. I know that ‘unleavened bread of sincerity and truth’ is a reference to our Lord, but the words nevertheless apply to Bob Gillies and indicate why he has been such a good friend and mentor to me and to the people of this diocese. Bob is as unleavened bread. There is nothing puffed up or false about him. He’s not fresh out of the oven, full of hot air. He is solid, and he provides nourishment, food for the journey to those with whom he gladly shares the pilgrim way. Bob is truly a man who is without guile. Now, I come from New York, so I am not unacquainted with guile. It’s the way of the world. So for me, entering into a new country, a new community, and a new province of the church, I have been glad to have the support and guidance of someone who exemplifies sincerity and truth, those two virtues that are so woefully undervalued in our public life, but qualities that are essential for establishing trust, building relationships, and providing effective leadership, perhaps especially in the church.

  • Bishop Nigel's Farewell Sermon
    Bishop Nigel’s Farewell Sermon St Pauls Cathedral Dundee 25 June 2017 Bookends Thank you for coming to this Diocesan Celebration at which we mark my retirement as the 54th Bishop of Brechin. The Diocese of Brechin has provided the bookends of my 41 years of ordained ministry since 1976 and for that I shall always be proud and grateful. God knows us better than we know ourselves. Like Jeremiah the reluctant prophet, we all run out of excuses in the end, and we go where we are sent and needed. Dundee was very formative experience for me as a young priest, and just as exciting second time around as Bishop. Not so long ago on a visit to a Dundee primary school, the children of Primary 7 were interviewing me about my job as Bishop. I explained a bit to them about ordained ministry in the Church, and about serving the wider community. I told them about my beginnings in Dundee back in 1976 …. ”so you’ve done this job a very long time”, they concluded …. at which point a young girl looked at me pityingly …. “oh dear, could you not find anything else to do …?” I feel very blessed that my priestly vocation has encompassed such a rich and varied ministry over the years. Along the way I have enjoyed relationships with so many good and interesting people. Being Bishop here has been a privilege and fun, challenging and rewarding in equal measure. Bishop in Mission and Ministry The city, county and coast, our region is historically deeply Episcopalian, full of interest and beauty, opportunity and challenge.

    The Episcopal Congregation of Charlotte Chapel, Edinburgh 1794-1818 Eleanor M. Harris Department of History and Politics School of Arts and Humanities University of Stirling A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Supervised by Professor David W. Bebbington 31 October 2013 I, Eleanor M. Harris, declare that this thesis has been composed by me and that the work which it embodies is my work and has not been included in another thesis. i Acknowledgements I asked Professor David Bebbington for advice on a local history project, and he sug- gested it might form the subject of a PhD. His methodical, wise, precise and thoughtful supervision was exactly what I required. It is thanks to him that I have produced a piece of academic work rather than a flight of fancy, and in this and in all my future work I shall owe him a huge debt of gratitude. It has been a great privilege to be supervised by him. The innumerable others to whom I owe thanks would form a prosopographical study in themselves. I have been supported by historians at Stirling, Edinburgh and elsewhere, and staff at the National Library of Scotland and National Registers of Scotland. I have been given opportunities to speak at conferences such as the Ecclesiastical History Soci- ety and Modern British History Network, and been asked thought-provoking questions by popular audiences in Edinburgh. Through the internet and social media I have dis- covered several family historians who provided information cited in the thesis, as well as a global network of lively minds helping with tasks such as ‘crowd-sourcing’ the word Caledonisation.
