Rev Canon Dr Philip Noble

As Presbyterians, we don't have bishops in our churches, at least not any official ones! We do, however, have a significant number of people within our congregation at Hilton from Anglican and Episcopalian backgrounds.
Tomorrow is a very significant day for Dorcas MacPhee and Peter's Noble's father, Philip, as along with three other candidates, he is being interviewed for the post of Bishop of Aberdeen and Orkney.

The Candidates:
·The Very Rev Canon Dr Robert Gillies, Rector of St Andrew’s Church, St Andrews; Canon of St Ninian’s Cathedral, Perth and Dean of the Diocese of St Andrews, Dunkeld & Dunblane
·The Rev Canon Timothy Morris, Rector of Good Shepherd Church, Edinburgh; Priest in Charge of St Salvador’s Church, Edinburgh and Honorary Canon of St Mary’s Cathedral, Edinburgh
·The Rev Canon Dr Emsley Nimmo, Rector of St Margaret’s, Aberdeen and Canon of St Andrew’s Cathedral, Aberdeen
·The Rev Canon Dr Philip Noble, Rector of St Ninian’s, Prestwick and Canon of St Mary’s Cathedral, Glasgow

At Hilton, we would love to see the day when we could invite Bishop Philip Noble to come and preach! We do however believe in a God who knows the best path for all of us, and we pray that the Electoral Synod will be given godly wisdom to make the right choice among the 4 candidates.
