Rev McTernan hosts BBC’s Christmas Day worship

The Rev Maggie McTernan of the Scottish Episcopal Church will co-present BBC One Scotland’s worship programme Reflections at the Quay on Christmas Day.

In an hour-long special, Ms McTernan, a priest at St Mary’s Cathedral, Glasgow, and Canon Michael McMahon of St Convals, Linwood reflect on the Christmas story.

In addition, Prof Ard Louis talks of reconciling his work as a scientist with his belief in the meaning of Christmas, and a poem from Fiona Stewart follows that theme. Music, from Greyfriars Kirk in Edinburgh, is by an alumni choir from the National Youth Choir of Scotland and the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland Junior Chamber Choir.

The programme starts at 11am and will be available to watch again online shortly after transmission. Full details are available here https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m0012z3y
