Please allow me to introduce myself...

                           Facal no dhà mu dheidhinn mi-fhìn….

I'm one of the full-time leaders of Community Church Edinburgh, a non-denominational, Christian charismatic church in the capital city of Scotland, where some of my passions are outreach , growth, languages and the relevance of Celtic spirituality for today. I am also an agent for the sale of general insurance, for a small number of British insurers, authorised and regulated by the Financial Services Authority (reg.no.306321) I'm married to Ann, with three children.

Is mise aon de na ceannardan làn-thìde aig Eaglais Cho-chommunach Dhùin Eideann , eaglais Chrìosdal charismatigach neo-eisimeileachsna Phrìomh Bhaile na h-Alba, far a bheil aineas agam ri soisgeulachd, fàs na h-eaglaise, cànainean agus buinteanas spioradalachd Cheilteich airson an latha an-diugh. Cuideachd tha oibreachadh beag agam anns an àrachas choitcheann le àireamh bheag de companaidhean-àrachais Bhreatanach. Is mise pòsda ri Ann, agus tha triùir clann agam

So what's so good about the Good News ?
