Lead theft at St John’s, Baillieston
- On the night of Sunday 18th September, thieves were once again on the roof of St John's Episcopal Church in Baillieston, removing lead only recently replaced following a major theft in March this year when most of the lead was ripped from the south side of the building. “We had only just began to dry out the walls which were soaked by rainfall following the theft of lead from our roof in March” said the Rev Andrew Richardson, the Rector of St John’s “the internal damage to the building is horrendous, the walls became so wet that radiators fell off and now we are contemplating further damage and further repair bills. This is not a victimless crime.”

King James Bible Reading Marathon at All Saint’s, Bearsden
- What started out as a simple brain-storming annual fund-raising exercise turned out into a week-long Marathon!
When Vestry Secretary Mairi Ross and a few members of the Vestry and congregation got together to discuss the annual fund-raising event, little did they realise what they were letting themselves in for!
In the past they had successfully promoted Fetes and Fayres, Concerts and Suppers until Mairi hit upon the bright idea that as 2011 was the 400th Anniversary of the publication of the KJV why not try a Bible Reading event to celebrate it?

St Boniface Trust - Essay Competition
- Following the setting up of the Anglican Ordinariate, St Boniface Trust has been concerned that yet more divisions are being created within both the Anglican Church and the Roman Catholic Church. The Trust feels that more attention needs to be paid to the understanding of Anglicanism as a distinctive witness in a time when its self understanding is at a low ebb.
There is a degree of urgency and to further this understanding it is offering a prize of £1,000 which will go to the writer of an essay of about 5,000 words on the subject
