Congregationalism to the Rescue

 Two years ago, there was an interesting article in The Scotsman, about a minister (whom I have met) who is seeking to turn around Churches through ... Congregationalism.

“I don’t think people are content with sitting in a pew being spoken to by someone in a dog collar,” said Dr Rev Dane Sherrard, clerk to the Presbytery of Duns. “Now, we have housewives leading services, we have an ex-policeman who comes in and handles the technology and we have the owner of a haulage company who leads prayers every week. We have a taxman who has just become an elder. And, of course, we have many farmers.”

The article is here: The Scotsman.
