The Most Rev David Chillingworth

The Primus of the Scottish Episcopal Church was the celebrant and preacher at the 1030 Eucharist on 14 March 2010. During his sermon, the Primus commented on his confidence for the Scottish Episcopal Church proclaiming good news in a secular world and related his sermon on the Prodigal Son to the local aspiration to make St Mary’s a place which is open, inclusive and welcoming.

Bishop David’s sermon can be viewed on this website.
