But most of all... people who want to be together: caring, accepting and loving each other.

Inside

Church Interior - Fly Through (Don't make yourself dizzy)
A wee panorama of the inside of our kirk when empty. Shhhh...You'll waken the church mouse! (and please close the door behind you in case it gets out) We know it's not about the building but it is very clever how you can do this. Many thanks to our property convenor's son Campbell McKerracher and if you go to cammylad.com then you'll see more of his suff.

Fishermen

the nets were old
the knots and splicings
were evidence of long use
and a generation of catches

they were being worked on once more
plaits of rope
intertwined with good catches
new cord spliced with old
a minding of the ones that got away
and the fishers sat
and wove together their stories

until the call
not to leave their nets behind
but to become them

but would these salt-bleached followers
hitched together by hope and hesitation
be strong enough to hold
the whole longing of heaven
