New elders

Three new elders have been ordained to South Ronaldsay and Burray church, Orkney. Ian Laughton, Doris Logie and Yvonne Nicholson (front and centre of the photo) almost double the number of elders serving on the Session, from four to seven. Ian and Yvonne are married to existing elders.

They are pictured with the rest of the Session and minister, the Rev Dr Marjory MacLean.

St Columba’s Pont Street Church, London, ordained ten new elders last month. Back row, from left: Andrew Smith, Neil MacDonald, Wendy Betts, Colin John MacKinnon, Roderick Cameron. Front: Isobel Carter, Alan and Pamela Thackrey, Vashtee Nadia Dalsingh and Ruth Kattumuri.
