\nToday the Church of Scotland<\/a> announced the Moderator Designate<\/a> for the 2012 General Assembly<\/a>.  And last week the Church of Scotland National Youth Assembly<\/a> Moderator Designate was also announced<\/a>.  Here is some info on both of them.<\/p>\n

The Rev. Albert Bogle was selected as the Moderator Designate for the 2012 General Assembly. Rev. Bogle is the pastor of St. Andrew’s Parish Church – Bo’ness<\/a> and has his pastor’s blog titled iTalker<\/a>. His Facebook page tells us that he is a graduate of the University of Glasgow<\/a> and did his final theological training at the University of Edinburgh<\/a>. (And as an aside, I like the Facebook profile picture<\/a> better than the darker picture in the press release<\/a> that the BBC article<\/a> used.) He was short-listed last year in the Moderator selection process and his church’s web page has echoed the press release<\/a> announcing his selection this year.<\/p>\n

Besides the parish ministry Rev. Bogle has been involved in a wide range of ministries and in service to the church. He is involved with Sanctus Media<\/a>, a non-profit that provides technology help to churches. He founded the Vine Trust<\/a> that provides assistance to impoverished areas around the world and is currently working on the Amazon Hope Project<\/a> that brings medical help to the Amazon region. He has served on multiple committees within the church, was the convener of the Church Without Walls<\/a> group from 2004 to 2009, and is currently on the World Mission Future Strategy Group. The Church Without Walls is a theme his church has picked up on<\/a>.<\/p>\n

He has done a great job with his social media using the iTalker handle on Twitter (@iTalker<\/a>), Facebook<\/a> and his iTalker blog<\/a>. Congratulations to Rev. Bogle on his selection and I look forward to following him and his Moderatorial year in the virtual world. May our prayers be with him as he undertakes this new calling.<\/p>\n

It is also a pleasure to pass on the announcement<\/a> of the new Moderator of the National Youth Assembly<\/a> of the Church of Scotland, Mr. Euan Patterson of the Presbytery of Greenock and Paisley<\/a>. Mr. Patterson can of course be found online on Twitter (@Elfangorax<\/a>) and Facebook<\/a>. He has contributed to the COSY Blog<\/a> and for a good introduction to Euan I highly recommend his 15 minute video about his experience as a youth delegate<\/a> to the 2011 General Assembly. I congratulate him on his selection and as he takes on this special calling we will be praying for him as well.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
