It was a pleasure to have Bishop Gillies from Aberdeen and Orkney with us on the Third Sunday of Advent as a guest preacher. Bishop Gillies was attending the enthronement of Bishop Clarke in Armagh and very kindly journeyed down to be with us in Saint Bartholomew’s Church the day after and brought greetings from our sister celtic churches in Scotland. The Bishop spoke of the theme of the coming judgement in the season of Advent and the importance of seeing it in, not only in negative terms, but also as a positive measure of the upholding of justice and of our freedom in Christ.
