Quick Scots change

Dr Cory Brock has been inducted as the minister of St Columba’s Free Church, Edinburgh.

It comes 24 days after departing minister Derek Lamont was commissioned to begin planting Hope Church in Leith after 23 years of ministry in the city centre, in what the Free Church of Scotland has described as ‘probably the shortest vacancy in recent church history.’

Presbytery Moderator Rev. Alberto De Paula conducted the service which saw Dr Brock accept the church’s calling. Brock also lectures in theology and preaching at Edinburgh Theological Seminary.
