    Synod hears presentation from Jubilee Scotland. Duncan McCosh is now willing to take questions.

      George Taggert – from St Oswald’s King’s Park. Wants to speak at his last synod to give hope. Says that his whole congregation has 70 000 in an account doing nothing. In the spirit of the Jubilee gave £7000 from that legacy to a mission giving food to those who could not afford to buy food. They want to see their numbers grow but/and think their jubilee return of money to the poor is a good thing. Would love to think that the sense of Jubilee carries on.

    To Govan Corps of the Salvation Army last night for the installation of their new Chief Secretary, Lieut-Col Bill Cochrane. Apart from a single family funeral, it is I think, the first time that I’ve been back to Salvation Army since I left it at the age of 16 or so. Last night’s visit was…
