News and events
Website relaunched February 2010
Welcome back to St John's website, and apologies if we have not kept our previous web site up to date. Our previous willing and hardworking webmaster Tim Haynes moved away last year, and with the best will in the world, our plans have taken this long to come to fruition. This new website has started from scratch, and currently includes some material from the old site, such as the history pages.
We will start off with a modest site and grow it over the coming months. Our Communications team will be doing this alongside the regular production of our church magazine Quest (archive copies of which will be added in PDF form).
We are looking for a more comprehensive collection of photographs of church life, whilst retaining Tim's excellent collection of images of the building.

EMU agreement signed by church leaders
A unique partnership between the Scottish Episcopal Church, the Methodist Church and the United Reformed Church in Scotland was sealed by Church Leaders at a special service on Saturday 23 January at St Ninian’s Episcopal Cathedral, Perth.
In signing the agreement, the Most Rev David Chillingworth, Bishop of St Andrews, Dunkeld & Dunblane and Primus of the Scottish Episcopal Church said “I am delighted to take part in the signing of this Agreement. Our General Synod has whole-heartedly affirmed and welcomed this developing relationship with our partner churches.
“Many relations of this kind are aspirational in character. What makes this relationship so encouraging is that it is rooted in work which we already share in training and mission development. We look forward to a further sharing of resources and ministry as together we address the mission challenges of our times.”
Joining Bishop David in the signing of the Agreement was the Rev Lily Twist, Chair of the Methodist Church in Scotland and Rev John Humphreys, Moderator of the United Reformed Church, National Synod of Scotland.
The new partnership will enable closer working at all levels of the churches, sharing of resources and education and development opportunities for clergy and congregations. It will continue to strengthen the way Christian churches work with one another across Scotland.
