We are delighted to share the good news that Rùna Ríngan has been accepted by the Scottish Charity Register (OSCR) as a Scottish Charitable Incorporated Organisation (SCIO), registered as SCO48914. This is a major step forwards for us to implement what we believe is God's plan for our community. We do not need man's approval, but we are called to work within the bounds of the secular legal authority, appointed by God, whenever conscience allows. This also ensures that third parties can see openly that our works are done properly and legally. The final word to our Lord Jesus Christ, And Jesus said to them, "Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's." Mark 12:17

John was invited by the Maybole Historic Society to give a detailed talk under the title of 'Early Christian Community in Maybole'. It turns out that Maybole - an ancient settlement in the north of Carrick, Ayrshire - is an excellent spot to consider Christianity from its earliest times in Scotland, up to the start of the second millennium. The talk covered: the problems of non-historic History (i.e., where there is few, if any, documentary evidence), the role of myth-making in our understandings, the Judaic and Eastern roots of Christianity, Christianity in Britannia from the first century, the Brythonic people of SW Scotland, Ninian's ground-breaking role, the different Celtic churches of Scoto-Ireland and Britannia, mysticism and Celtic Christianity, and the Synod of Whitby. The paper was well received and followed by some excellent discussions and further input from the knowledgeable audience. A copy of the paper can be viewed or downloaded at no charge from Scribd.com (www.scribd.com/document/394259552/Early-Christianity-in-Maybole) |
