What does it mean to walk together as the Church in Scotland?

Today, 180 people from across the country gathered for the Festival of Synodality to reflect on listening, discernment, collaboration and the mission of the Church.

Through prayer, conversation and shared experiences, participants explored how clergy and laity can work together, share responsibility in parish life, and recognise the gifts and talents already present within our communities.

As one participant reflected:
"There is hope for the Church. The Holy Spirit is working."

Take a look at some of the voices and reflections from the day as participants share what they have learned and what they will take back to their parishes.
