Church and Culture

A great weekend with the Northumbrian Community. At some points I was well outwith my comfort zone but it was good to be challenged and to see how other people worship, and to see ways in which our lives at Hilton could be enriched. One thing I really liked about the group was the way they identified with their corner of the country- the history, music, landscape and culture- they are very much northumbrian. In what ways are we identifiable as a highland congregation? I guess many of us are from other parts of the UK and anyway we’re not all fishing for herring any more, but still, we have such a rich cultural heritage, fantastic landscape and distinctive music there must be ways of bringing more of it into the church?
