In Depth:  Tony Wilkinson

Like many areas in Scotland, Orkney was included in the sweep of revival that God sent in the early 1860s. But after that, evangelical faith declined.

Into this background a small group of believers felt called to plant Grace Church Orkney. Constituted in November 2017 it opened for public worship in November 2018. The vision is to become a church that plants churches in the areas of gospel deprivation.

Orkney Bible Festival met for their fifth annual festival from 4 – 6 September with guest preacher David Robertson, minister of St Peter’s Free Church, Dundee.

Over the three evenings, David spoke about the Christian’s Magnificent Obsession with Jesus and why he is great.
