It's been great to spend the last two days visiting here, in Orkney. These island are north of the Scottish mainland, visited either by flight or a 6 hour ferry journey. I've been the guest of Don and Maggie Currie and church in Kirkwall. A great time.
On an island of 8,000 people, church has to be done a different way than on the mainland, where there are millions of people. Witness and mission leads to an emphasis on an integrity, depth of spirituality and a level of intentional relationality that is demanding.
All of us have to ask the question, 'what are we trying to do?' before asking the question, 'how to do it?'.
