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.

Our most recent item is an interview with Patricia Johnstone of the Scottish Churches' China Group. In it, she explains why Bibles will be given out free at the Beijing Olympics. You can download the interview in mp3 format.
