On behalf of WEACTs, a forum of churches in Glasgow’s West End, we would like to invite you to a political hustings this Friday evening 30^th April at 7pm.

In previous years we have hosted this in one of the churches in the West End – sadly this year it will be by Zoom and the link is below. Simply click on this a few minutes before the start at 7pm.

The evening will be chaired by Sir John Curtice who probably needs no introduction! Sir John is Professor of politics at the University of Strathclyde and he has kindly chaired previous hustings which we have initiated.

Candidates from the five main political parties will be present and they are:

• Grahame Cannell – Scottish Conservative and Unionist
• Patrick Harvie – Scottish Greens
• Kaukab Stewart – Scottish National Party
• Pam Duncan-Glancy – Scottish Labour
• David McKenzie – Scottish Liberal Democrats

Each candidate will be given 3 minutes to make an opening statement and one minute at the end to sum up.

We welcome questions which should be e-mailed to brett@bnassociates.co.uk before Thursday 29 April at 5pm. There will also be a means of asking questions using the zoom chat facility on the night.

You are warmly welcome and you do not need to live in the West End! There is no registration process – simply turn up via the link below.

Time: Apr 30, 2021 07:00 PM London

Out of respect for the funeral of HRH Prince Philip, The Duke of Edinburgh, we have taken the decision not to open the church on the afternoon of Saturday 17 April 2021.

The church will be open as usual from 12.30-1.30pm on Tuesday 20th April for private prayer and contemplation.

I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Henceforth there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, will award to me on that day, and not only to me but also to all who have loved his appearing.

2 Timothy 4:7-8

At 12pm today the UN Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons enters into force, so join us in making a joyful noise to celebrate the beginning of the end for nuclear weapons.

Bells will be ringing across the nation at 12 noon, and many of us will be standing on our doorsteps with bells and whistles to make a noise in celebration.

The Treaty comprehensively bans nuclear weapons among the countries that have ratified it – 51 so far, with many more to come, as over 80 countries have completed the first stage of signing the Treaty.

We join Scottish CND, the Church of Scotland, and people of all faiths and none across Scotland to hope and pray that the UK will join them.
