The Revd Canon Dr Nicholas Bundock, Team Rector of @stjamesemmanuel has been elected as the new Bishop of the Diocese of Glasgow and Galloway @GGEpiscopal During his time at St James and Emmanuel, Nick has developed and led an inclusive ministry which has been transformative in creating vibrant, welcoming, and growing communities for people of all backgrounds.

This is a diocese with a rich history, vibrant communities, and a deep commitment to embodying the love of Christ in every corner of its life. "Throughout the discernment process, I have been moved by the openness, warmth, and faithfulness of the people I have encountered. It is with great joy that I look forward to walking alongside clergy, laity and their wider communities as we seek to nurture and grow God’s Kingdom together. "As we face the challenges and opportunities of this time, I am inspired by the diocese’s vision of inclusion, justice, and hope. I firmly believe that the Scottish Episcopal Church has a unique voice to share in today’s world, and I am committed to supporting and encouraging all who contribute to its mission and ministry. "I ask for your prayers as I prepare to take on this role, and I offer mine in return for the flourishing of this diocese and its people. Together, may we step boldly into the future, confident in the transforming power of God’s love to create a Church for Everyone.” Read more manchester.anglican.org/news/latest-ne…

We are really looking forward to welcoming people to our Christmas services – there is something for everyone...

Today I was hosting the "Re-thinking Inclusive Youth Work" seminar at the Radical Love Conference at @stjamesemmanuel. It was profoundly humbling to hear young people describe the harm that's been perpetrated by traditional approaches to youth ministry. (1/2)

As a new Trustee of @inclusivechurch it was great to be at the #RadicalLove conference at @stjamesemmanuel today with the National Coordinator Mthr Chantal...and amongst so many other like-minded Christians. Learning...and listening...

Inspiring day yday @stjamesemmanuel Radical Love Conference. I came away with a greater sense of identity. A deeper understanding of scripture. A feeling of belonging and an absolute urge to stand up, stand out and be more vocal about inclusion in the @churchofengland
