Easterhouse Baptist Church, Glasgow was packed on Saturday 25 June for a Thanksgiving Service for Bob Holman, committed Christian and social justice activist.

He was well known in the field of social policy and practice. After rising to the higher echelons of academic recognition from a poor start – his wartime evacuee experience having adversely affected his early education – he gave up a professorship at Bath University opting to become more closely involved at grassroots level in the community.
