NEWS AND EVENTS

Publications

We offer two free news publications for you to read, reproduce and share with your congregations and mission partners.

UPDATE, delivered by email weekly, provides the latest news about issues affecting the world church, a diary of events around Scotland and prayer requests from our partner churches and mission partners.

WM, our monthly magazine, provides detailed articles on the work of our partner churches and mission partners, as well as congregations in Scotland.

World Mission Council is also currently managing the production of the newsletter of the Church of Scotland's HIV/AIDS Project. You can read the latest edition (Autumn 2008) here.
