The next edition of the Record will contain Stephen Holmes's address to the 2017 AGM, with its new perspective on the 'Reformation' and the unexpected emphasis on liturgical formation; Gordon Jamieson's appeal for more appropriate funeral orders to meet the different circumstances of today; Scott Rennie's introduction of a comprehensive new Aberdeen-based lectionary resource to rival anything offered elsewwhere; a paper given to the Aberdeen Theological Society on how succeeding hymn editors have ensured that we can keep singing Charles Wesley; and the editor eavesdrops on conversations with the famed 'Rabbi' Duncan about the state of worship in the country.
There are also Obituaries of two well-loved former officers of the Society: Duncan Forrester and Tom Davidson Kelly; and the customary extra make-weights, the Secretary's 'Notes' and the roundup of recent literature on worship and liturgy.
