Talking at SCM tonight got me thinking about the various congregations that I’ve been part of.

Here is my congregations cv – the list of all the congregations where I’ve belonged in some way:

• Leeds Central Salvation Army (Interesting video here).
• Clydebank Salvation Army
• Leeds Central Salvation Army (again)
• Mt Zion Free Evangelical Church, Horbury, West Yorkshire
• Ivy Cottage, Didsbury, Manchester
• Heaton Moor Evangelical Church, Stockport
• Holy Trinity, Platt, Manchester
• University Chapel, St Andrews
• St Andrews, St Andrews
• St Bartholomew the Great, Smithfield, London
• St George in the East, Ratcliffe, London
• Christ Church, Morningside, Edinburgh (Student Placement)
• St Columba’s by the Castle, Edinburgh (Student Placement)
• St Michael and All Saints, Tollcross, Edinburgh (Student Placement)
• St Ninian’s Cathedral, Perth (Curacy)
• St  Saviour’s, Bridge of Allan
• St Mary’s Cathedral, Glasgow

As I look down that list, I think I can say that I learned something from every place I’ve been connected to and there is something of each and every one of them in who I am and what I do today.
