The Moderator of the General Assembly, the Rt Rev Dr Derek Browning, preached at a special service celebrating the 150th anniversary of Allan Park South Church in Stirling.

The service was attended by leaders of the local Roman Catholic and Scottish Episcopal churches, both of whom led prayers. The three churches have agreed to discuss working together more closely in future, and the theme of the service and Dr Browning’s sermon was ‘building bridges’.
