The synod was inaugurated with a splendid Eucharist for St Columba’s Day. Fabulous music.
The Primus spoke of Iona as being at both the edges and the margins as offering a model for the SEC. He also said, rather interestingly that as the SEC begins to consider the Anglican Covenant he could see that there could be advantage for the Anglican Communion whichever decision the church takes about adoption or not.
Ecumenical Guests are welcomed and the minutes of the last meeting are proposed.
With two minor changes, the minutes are agreed.
