The Revd Ian Gilmour
joined the Together Trustees
at the Trustees’ meeting on 5
May by virtue of taking up the
position of minister at St
Andrew’s & St George’s West.
One member from each of the
two sister Together churches
had attended meetings of the
appointments committee and
many members from eachchurch attended his induction
on 28 April. The
congregation, which included
members from Ian’s former
parish of South Leith, filled
the church and transferred to
a cordial buffet andentertainment in the George
Hotel.
The annual Together joint
service was held on 5 June
and St John’s was packed
with well over 300 attending.The service celebrated the
40th anniversary of the
Cornerstone Café, which had
been set up to provide young
people with coffee, snacks
and a warm place to meet
during the hours 10pm 2am.
This was long before the
current 24/7 culture! Over
100 of the original volunteers
Together Newsattended the service at which
the address was given by the
Revd Norman Shanks.
It has always been one of
Together’s aims that a
Workplace Chaplain should
be appointed. After a series of
delays, an appointment has
been made and the Revd Tony
Bryer will take up the positionin the autumn. The post will be
run in conjunction with the
support of Workplace
Chaplaincy Scotland.
On 9 April about 40 peoplegave up their Saturday to
attend a conference on New
Forms of Church. The
programme built on the
experience gained the previous
year under the banner of
Creative Space and exploredthe new forms that the Church
might take in current society.
The day’s success was ensured
by inviting Revd Norman Smith
to state his vision of how things
might be, and to facilitate
discussion. An account follows
on pages 8 11.

A proportional response
Following celebratory scenes, TheSeptember Eleventh Families for
Peaceful Tomorrows released a
response to Osama Bin Laden's killing.
"Our thoughts turn not only to our
family members who were killed on
September 11th, but to all of theinnocent people around the world who
have died, and continue to die, as a
result of the events of September 11th,
2001…
"One person may have played a central
role in the September 11th attacks, but
all of us have a role to play in returningour world to a place of peace, hope and
new possibilities. We hope that process
will begin today."
This group came together not to see
their loved ones avenged, but because
they didn't want the cycle of violencethat led to their deaths to continue.

Christian Aid SaleBack for another year, this year's Christian AidSale at St Andrew's and St George's West wasagain a huge success.
As the St Andrew's and St George's annual
Christian Aid Sale draws ever closer to its 40th
year, it still shows no sign of slowing down. This
year Scotland's Makar, Liz Lochhead was patron.
Over 100,000 books were sold along with allmanner of artwork, ephemera, records, cds, dvds,
antiques, collectibles and toys, raising a total of
around £117,000. Of particular interest were an
original copy (1628) of Harvey's treatise on the
circulation of the blood and an original Alasdair
Gray print.view the video at tinyurl.com/stagwsale

Welcoming Ian Gilmour
Together co ordinator, Joe Evans,put some questions to St Andrew'sand St George's West's new minister,and here are his answers.
Where was your previous
ministry?
I served at South Leith Parish
Church. 15 years working with
such hard working, energetic
people was a privilege.
Tell me about your first
Sunday at STAGW s.
“Push and Shove Sunday” was
an eye opener. Transforming
the church for the enormous
Christian Aid Sale makes thatSunday like no other. I saw
how members supported each
other and how they stretch to
contribute to the church's
wider work.
Which experiences may behelpful in your new parish?
Two things stand out. I was
involved in setting up Ocean
Terminal's ecumenical
chaplaincy. This connects with
St Andrew’s & St George’s
West's work with retail and
business and Together's
workplace chaplaincy.
The other was twelve years'
involvement with Leith Festival,
including being convener. Our
Together congregations are well
situated for Edinburgh’s
Festivals; we can create events,
provide venues and offerinformed critiques.
So what's making you excited
for the future?
I hope to develop with the
congregation a vision of a
church that looks after its ownfamily while moving outward.
There are so many networks of
people in the city centre, we
can't serve everyone. I'm
delighted the Together churches
are already doing so much for
the most vulnerable. I'm reallylooking forward to exploring the
possibilities for Christian
presence, prayers and prophetic
action as part of a highly skilled
Together team. It is in areas of
socialising, creativity and
business that so many engage in
this city, the church must
discover ways of enriching their
lives. It won't be dull!

Ideas for the city centre
Robert Philp reports.
The most recent meeting of
the City Centre Partnership
was about the delivery of a
world class ‘public realm’ for
Princes Street and the
Gardens, a subject of some
relevance to our churches.
Gehl Architects have workedin cities across the world to
improve the environment for
their citizens, revolutionising
e.g. Times Square in New
York, where accident rates
have fallen by 63%, and
Copenhagen, among manyothers. They have made
proposals to Edinburgh
Council for Princes Street. Is
it to be a world class street or
a giant bus station?
They start with thepresumption that city centres
are for people. Edinburgh is
at present the 5th most
congested city in Europe.
Since 1998, Princes Street
has seen almost a 50%
decline in pedestrian traffic.
The domination of the bus
causes fumes, noise and
vibrations, blocking the view
and the sun (when it’s there)
and making it hard to cross.
There are 400 bus movements
an hour. All this is seriously
worrying both for tourists and
Edinburgh citizens. Currently
the world famous street simply
fails to be a space for meetingand interacting. Gehl wants us
to re think city centre traffic,
encourage activities for
passers by, provide
walking areas and
activity zones, remove
railings andsuperfluous traffic
clutter and
generally open
up this iconic
space for
people. The
debate isongoing.

New Forms of Church forthe New Town
On the 9th April around 30
people from the three
congregations met in St
Andrew’s & St George’s to
learn about the movement
called “New Forms of Church”
and to consider theimplications and possibilities
for our churches of its ideas
and principles.
Revd Norman Smith, Mission
Convener of Presbytery and
former Convener of EmergingMinistries Task Group within
the Church of Scotland, led the
proceedings and has reported
on the day.
Why do we need New
Forms of Church? What isthe problem?
The problem is that
congregations throughout the
country have no contact at all
with whole sections of their
parishes.
This was the finding of the
survey undertaken by the
Church of Scotland in 2011
and the situation is mirrored
south of the border. This calls
for a new type of mission.
The old type of mission:
“Come!”
Our present congregations workvery hard at inviting people to
come and join them. They keep
their buildings open, put on
services, provide hospitality and
night shelter, give talks, hold
concerts, arrange walks,
provide counselling and otherservices to vulnerable groups.
We expect people to become
like us, to take on our
language, our mannerisms and
our traditions. We also expect
our church practice to endure.So the majority of the
population are left untouched.
The new type of mission:
"Go!"
This is not in fact new at all.
After all, that is what Jesus
said. He sent out the 72, he
sent the disciples and ultimately
he sends us. Unfortunately for
David Hill provides a summary of Norman
Smith's report on the New Forms day conference.

many years it has often
become all too easy to turnhis command to go into a
command to come.
We spent a session
considering where we might
go, that is, with which
‘interest’ group Christianscould become involved.
Suggestions included
Residents, Immigrants, Young
Clubbers, Workers, Ladies who
Lunch, Students, High Culture,
and Arts Festivals.
But how?
This is not easy for us.
Obviously not, or we would
have been doing it. But it
becomes easier if we
understand that the best
people to reach out to a
particular group are those who
are already part of it. You
don’t send a skateboarder to
reach an opera goer; you find
an opera goer who has a desireto share the gospel!
So the first task is to examine
ourselves and understand what
interest groups we are already
part of. Business and the arts
will feature at or near the topof an analysis of our
congregations’ interests. So we
are already on the right lines in
appointing a Workplace
Chaplain, and in considering
the appointment of someone to
work especially with the ‘Artsand Culture’ sector – a
possibility currently being
explored by St Cuthbert’s.
What will church look like
for people in groups like
this?
Whilst all Christian churches
worship God, the form of that
worship will be different t

The disparity between existing church andsecular culture is widening
Where once Westerners might have found theiridentity, their social togetherness and the ongoinglife of their society in the area of production,these are increasingly today found throughconsumption.We are what we buy. We relate toothers who consume the same way we do.

depending on people’s frame
of reference. Use of language,
patterns of worship and issues
of concern will all arise from
people’s understanding of God
in their context. Any
congregation that initiatesoutreach to a different cultural
group should not expect their
mission to result as a clone of
themselves.
Nor should they expect a
direct return to their owncongregation, either in
additional people or additional
revenue. New Forms of
Church is essentially an act of
grace on the part of the
sending church.
Where to from here?
1. Continue exploring
Emerging/New forms of Church.
2. Keep on developing a vision
for mission to the City Centre.
3. Identify people within the
Together congregations whohave a passion for reaching
others and who can operate
within target cultures.
The Christian task is NOT to help peoplebridge into our church context.While working with the Jews, I live like a Jew inorder to win them; and even though I myself am
not subject to the Law of Moses, I live as though Iwere when working with those who are, in order towin them. In the same way, when working withGentiles, I live like a Gentile, outside the JewishLaw, in order to win Gentiles. This does not meanthat I don't obey God's law; I am really underChrist's law.

4. Take steps to equip them
for the task of outreach and
commission them.
5. Carefully manage
expectations of existing
churches on what they are
looking for and what they
expect in return for their
investment.
6. Pray continually.
Conclusion
We believe no sector or
segment of society is beyond
the reach of God; that is not
to say they will be attracted
to our way of doing church.Our challenge is to find ways
of bringing them and the
gospel together. That is our
task, God will do the rest.
I would strongly encourage
you to pursue Emerging/New
Forms of Church for the City
Centre as you have many
unique opportunities not open
to any other place in Scotland.
Hundreds of thousands of
people come each year to your
area from all over the world
looking to connect with
Edinburgh.
I pray that as they come here
they will also be connectedboth to the Christian past of
the city and find their way of
embracing and expressing that
faith for themselves.
Yours is a high calling and on
behalf of the MissionResourcing Group of Edinburgh
Presbytery we wish you every
success and offer our services
to help you as we can.

Conference Convenor

To start our 6 page Festival Preview, DonaldReid, Director of FoSP gives us a brief run downof what's happening at this year's Festival
Saturday 6 – Monday 29 AugustIn September this year, it will
be the 10th anniversary of
9/11. Therefore, a major
strand in the Festival
'conversation' programme
will be to reflect on the legacy
of the events of that day and
the violence which followed it.
We will be particularly pleased
to welcome Imam Feisal Abdul
Rauf from New York City who
was at the centre of the
controversy last September
about the so called 'Ground
Zero mosque'. He will help us
understand the trauma and
paranoia which has gripped the
US and whether 10 years on,

of the recent ‘truth telling’ onthat atrocity.
2011 is also the 30th
anniversary of the identification
of HIV, so we will look at how
faith communities influence the
incidence of AIDS, especially inAfrica and Bishop Christopher
Senjonyo from Uganda will
describe the plight of gay
people there.
Thinking of other perspectives
on reality, what does science
have to tell us about the
efficacy of prayer or the health

exorcised.
Yasmin Alibhai Brown ,
commentator and broadcaster,
will start this series of topics,
with an event on Monday 8
August, asking if the world –
and Britain – is a safer place
with the killing of Osama Bin
Laden and with democratic
movements across the MiddleEast. Several speakers with
close links to Egypt and Syria
will help us understand the
meaning of events there and
in other Arab countries. We
will also look at HOW the
revolutions happened, withOsama Saeed from Al Jazeera
and Ruaridh Arrow , director of
the film about Gene Sharp's
'From Dictatorship to
Democracy' (often cited as the
revolutionary text behind the
uprisings).
James Fergusson (author of
’Taliban’ ) and Ming Campbell
will explore the potential to
talk to the Taliban and we will
hear from Steve McLaughlin
about being an ordinary
Squaddie in such conflicts.

issues are presented by the
latest scientific technology?
With philosopher JulianBaggini , we will ask: ‘Do we
have a soul’?
We will also look for Ethics in
the financial system and what
we can learn from Islamic
finance – but also the faithbased case for and against
general taxation and
reflections on how businesses
have striven to act
responsibly in the recession.
But the festival is not just
talk. This year we will have a
significantly increased
performance programme
playing host to some of
Edinburgh and the world’s
finest performers. We areexcited to welcome back Tokara
Taiko drummers from Japan
and Coreen Scott from closer to
home. Other highlights include
a Sitar concert, Persian bands
and an explosive Science
cabaret. There will also be awide range of classical music
for you to escape from the
hustle of the festival. Or relax
at a performance of The
Screwtape Letters, St John’s
Gospel or The Gospel of
Matthew by candlelight.

which will introduce you to

the floor during Laughter
Yoga. If you are really daring
you could even try
firewalking.
We even have a range of children and family events
featuring storytelling and an
animation workshop (sign up
now, places limited! ). It
would be good to have a short
animated film made during
the festival by children and
available to be shown at the
opening or closing event.
There will also be thought
provoking art exhibits,
including Postcards from Japan
following this year'sdevastation.
With twice as many events this
year there really is something
to suit everyone, so come and
feed the body and the mind at
one of this summer’s mostdiverse festivals.
Though most events are at St
John’s, many will be at venues
all over the city including the
Together Churches. Look out
for a brochure and pass them
on to friends,– word of mouth
works best!

Things to See and DoThe less travelled road
Two recent abortive attempts
to visit Dr Neil’s Garden in
Duddingston Village resulted
in two unexpected half hours
spent in the garden of
Duddingston Kirk manse,
following the contemplative trail
which has been created there.
Brief information boards tell a
little of the history of the place
In search of local spiritual sights, FrancesCooper stumbled upon an interesting idea…

and the people and offer the
reader a theme for reflection
in various parts of the
garden.
It is a place of peace and
quiet, allowing time and
space for contemplation. It
gives an opportunity to drink
in the beauty of the setting
and watch the bird life while
still being aware of the bustle
of the city on the other sideof the garden wall. It is a
unique place, in a special part
of the city.
Those half hours in
Duddingston gave pause for
thought. Could we offerpeople a chance to follow a
trail through our joint
parishes, with points of
interest on the way about the
characters and places that
have made the church life in
the centre of this great citysuch a vital piece of the
mosaic that is Edinburgh?
The home territory of the
churches in Together is in a
unique place, in a special part
of the city. Our buildings and
surroundings tell a great story
about the past and present in
this vibrant city, amidst its
endless bustle.
It might not be the obvious
item on the tourist ‘must do’
list but, as the Robert Frost
poem depicted on one of the
sculptures in the Duddingston
Kirk garden says,
"Two roads diverged in awood, and I—I took the one lesstravelled by,And that has made all
the difference."
A less travelled road (or visitor
activity) might be exactly what
we can provide, giving those
who seek it an opportunity to
find out something about the
spiritual richness of Edinburghcity centre and what it could
mean to them. Just a thought
from the garden in one part of
the city to stir the thoughts of
those of us around the garden
in the city centre.

‘Roll Away the Stone’ which
took place on Sunday 22 May
in Princes Street Gardens and
St Cuthbert’s was a wonderful
day of celebration for the
Church of Scotland.
I am privileged to have been a
part of the planning team for
the event, and delighted that
St Cuthbert’s had the
opportunity to play such a key
role in what has been a most
successful, joyful and vibrantday.
As well as hosting a wonderful
variety of events within the
church buildings, we also
provided a welcome and a place
to ‘withdraw’ for the Lord High
Commissioner, provided the
keyboard for the praise band at
the closing worship event, and
– through the wonders of
modern technology – it was theSt Cuthbert’s organ that led the
hymns at that closing event at
the Ross Bandstand.
In our church buildings the
variety of activities was
extraordinary, from food toworship, prayer to jazz, choirs
to drumming, and bells to
organ recitals.

displays and opportunities to
find out more about the work
of the church provided the
thousands who attended with
interesting information and
interaction.
This came alongside a wide
variety of musical offerings
(from rock bands to African
choirs) and various
interviews, comedy sketches
and presentations not tomention the 5 a side football
competition (which
interestingly was won by
youngsters from my previous
congregation in Perth!)
cameos from the Easter Play,
the buskers, the puppets andso much more.
As I write this it is rather too
early to be accurate in
assessing the numbers
attending, but the estimates
are that around 5000 people
attended the event, and
something in excess of 2500
came through the doors of St
Cuthbert’s.
The church itself was very busy
with the various choirs and
recitals, and the Lindisfarne
Room was packed to
overflowing for both Messy
Church and the Jazz group.
It was a marvellous day that
should have made us all proud
to be part of the diverse,
outward looking and vibrant
Church of Scotland and glad
also that we in St Cuthbert’swere able to be so involved.
St Cuthbert’s was thanked by
the General Assembly on the
day following the event, and I
in turn would like to thank the
very many St Cuthbert’smembers who stewarded,
guided, welcomed, staffed the
shop, directed people, made
coffee and tea and so much
more besides.
Now the planning begins for
next year!

What Does
Together MeanTo You?
What Does
Together MeanTo You?
Russell McLarty was Chair of Together from itsbeginning to Summer 2010. Here he gives histhoughts on what Together is and can become.
Together allows us to show
people in the city centre that
different congregations areunited in the faith they share
in Jesus. The use of the
Together logo on all our
service sheets, magazines,
publicity and noticeboards is a
good start. I believe that we
need to demonstrate ourtogetherness in many
different ways and to promote
and support each other if we
are going to have credibility to
other people as the church in
the city centre.
Celebrating our difference
Together allows our own
church folk to better
appreciate how each
congregation is different in its
tradition, its vision and what itcan offer. I believe that we are
greatly enriched when we take
time to learn about our
neighbours and to share in
their lives.
We ought to delight in the wayour sisters and brothers are
different. Better than that, we
need to share our appreciation
more openly and talk to others
about these wonderful
differences.
New shared initiatives
Together can allow us to better
develop initiatives for the city

centre where we might
struggle to do this in our own
congregations. Where people
from the different
congregations and outwith can
look to shared interests we
might see exciting new areas
of mission.
A top priority
Together must be among our
top three priorities if it is to
grow to reach its potential.
I have been impressed where
the twelve Trustee members
of Together have met
regularly through the past two
and a half years and where
the ministry teams have madethe monthly meeting one of
their highest priorities. This
has shown tremendous belief
in the value of Together.
One plea to church members
would be to match thiscommitment and even to
better it!

A chance to thrive
Russell will soon be taking up
a new post as Coordinator for
a new Project called ‘A Chance
to Thrive’.
This Project will give an
opportunity for eight
congregations from the
poorest parishes in Scotland to
work to develop exciting ideas
in partnership with their local
community. Church buildingsmay be redeveloped to provide
a wonderful resource for that
work.
‘A Chance to Thrive’ is looking
to recruit up to 40 volunteers
(from accountants to artists toarchitects) to support local
congregations over the next 3
years. If you would like to
know more about the support
role, please contact Russell at
01875 614496.
