A visit from an old friend; a conversation about good things people are doing; an invitation to shine a light …

Here’s an excerpt from a “Highland Views” column coming this weekend:

“Shining a Light on the Good Things We Do”:

“Why not invite congregations to share something good they are doing that the wider community may not know about?” I thought that was an excellent suggestion. We share a disappointment in the ways religion gets distracted by theological debate, and often the worst elements of the world of faith grab the headlines. So why not balance things a little more, emphasize the good things said and done that might not catch the public eye?”
