Moderator sleeps out

  Rev Andrew Wilson, Moderator of the Presbytery and minister of Rubislaw Parish Church took part in the Cyrenians Big Sleepout.  Andrew slept out with this group of young people who are some of the members of Rubislaw Church's Centrepoint group for S3 plus, along with their leader and the Student Placement.
Andrew writes: "We camped out in cardboard boxes outside the exhibition centre. The sleepout was the biggest yet with around 1100 taking part. I have raised about £1200 in Rubislaw and hope for a generous sponsorship response from all other congregations in Presbytery to make our Presbytery contribution to the Cyrenians a big one. Sponsor money should be returned to the Presbytery Office cheques made payable to Aberdeen Cyenians."
 
 

Also taking part in the sleep out were Rev John Ferguson of Peterculter Parish Church, together with  Helen Kelbie and Michael Black of Cults Parish Church.

Professor Torrance was inducted to the Mastership by Moderator Dick Wallis on 1 October 2001. Since Christ's College is a Church of Scotland institution which happens to live in the University, it comes under the supervision of the Presbytery. The appointment is made by the General Assembly and the Induction is carried out by the Presbytery.
