Biography
Serving parish minister who has previously held the position of Presbytery Clerk (part time) and various convenorships (both locally and nationally). I have recently been elected as the first Moderator of the Presbytery of Forth Valley and Clydesdale.
I have also been a member of the Advisory Panel to The Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health (Scotland) from 2004-2007.
For most of the 30+ years in post, I have been involved in training and supervision of students. I also oversaw the study leave programme, and have shown commitment to CPD via a Masters in Palliative Care (Glasgow) and a Doctorate in Practical Theology (Glasgow) with a thesis title of "How might parish ministers (and other pastoral care givers) better support women who have experienced an early miscarriage?"
