A former Moderator of the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland has been appointed associate convener of Scottish Churches Housing Action (SCHA).
The new role for the Very Rev Dr Russell Barr was confirmed at SCHA’s annual general meeting. The Rev Graeme Wilson, convener of SCHA, said: “We are delighted that Russell has taken up our invitation, alongside all his other commitments.
