’Discipleship is not dull’

“TO respond to Jesus’ call ‘Follow me ‘is to begin an adventure of faith. Discipleship is not dull.”

The Rev Colin Sinclair, Moderator- Designate to the 2019 General Assembly of the Church of Scotland is passionate about faith. He adds: “Since the time I became a Christian at 12 years old I have had adventures all over the world. It has been a great experience, though not without pain. I have enjoyed it all.” The theme “Jesus said ‘Follow me’” has been suggested to the Moderator- Designate for his year in office, which begins later this month.

The theme resonates with the father-offour, who is minister at one of Edinburgh’s most beautiful city centre churches, Palmerston Place, and the words ‘follow me’ neatly follow his faith journey, which led him at an early age to Scripture Union, Africa and parish ministry.
