Our March Synod celebrated with Revd Paul Whittle - Reflections on 40 years. I have somewhat ambitiously entitled this 'Forty years (and what next) of ministry'. I do not really have the space to tell you about the forty years, though I will try and offer a few samples, and I don't know what the 'what next' will be. I do believe in strategies and planning. We need a vision. However, I have learned that God usually has a few twists and turns that we don't see coming hidden in there somewhere. Maybe there won't be any more surprises, but somehow I doubt it. But let me turn the clock back forty years. It is a Friday in March 1979. I have moved from Wigan, where I had spent a few months with my parents and siblings, post theological training, and am now in Beith, North Ayrshire, where I am to be ordained as a Minister of Word and Sacraments.
