The latest edition of Inspires Online is now available, carrying news, features, reflection and events from across the Scottish Episcopal Church.

There are updates on how General Synod and Provincial Youth Week will be held, feedback and new resources for online worship, news of how a sea shanty further boosted the popular ‘Children’s Chapel’, round-ups of television and media reports featuring the SEC, a new series on the organisations supported by Church in Society, how the Church responded to the death of HRH The Prince Philip, a new Provost in the Diocese of Brechin, national recognition for our Virtual Choir, Maundy money recipients, and a glimpse of a makeover for one of our cathedrals – by Minecraft.

There is also an obituary of the Rev David Shepherd, who served as a priest at St Mary Magdalene’s in Dundee for forty years and wrote 15 detective novels in his spare time. “He leaves a wide circle of grateful Episcopalians,” writes Bishop Ted Luscombe, retired Primus.
