It’s slightly bizarre thatm after being hosted by the Apex hotel in Dundee for 6 years, we’re in a sprawling University campus in Stirling. Usually everyone would be on top of one another, everything would happen within 2 minutes walk of each other. Instead, there is a good 10 [...]

I got an email a few minutes ago asking me if i would be happy to speak to a reporter about this press release from the Church of Scotland. (Yes, yes, I know i’m a little bit smug, but I’m excited about it!)
