The Rev John Carswell, minister of Cadzow Parish Church in Hamilton, celebrated his graduation from the University of Glasgow where he was awarded a Doctorate in Practical Theology (DPT).

Dr Carswell wrote his thesis on adult baptism in the Church of Scotland with a particular focus on the Special Commission on Baptism (1952-1963) and the  decisions of the 2003 General Assembly at which the Panel on Doctrine report introduced a number of significant changes to Church of Scotland baptismal policy.

He is pictured with his wife Lisa and son Johnny.
