10,000 Scottish Christians challenged to transform church's image

Scotland is a nation of 'holy discontent' – and the church has all the answers, says one Church of Scotland minister.

A Scottish minister is challenging 10,000 Christians to transform the image of the church in Scotland during next week’s inaugural National Gathering.

The event is the first time that the Church of Scotland has attempted a festival-style event and takes as its model the country’s major annual indie rock music festival T in the Park. Over two days from 3 to 4 May, thousands of Scottish Christians will join together to enjoy Christian music, dance, art and “food for thought” at the Royal Highland Showground in Ingliston, outside Edinburgh.

Rev Albert Bogle, minister of St Andrew’s Church in Bo’ness, who is heading up the project, said he believes the event will send out a clear message to the country that the church is alive and has the answers to what he perceives to be a growing spiritual longing among Scots.
