The members of the Bishops' Conference are the Bishops of the eight Scottish Dioceses. Where appropriate the Bishops Emeriti (retired) provide a much welcomed contribution to the work of the conference. The Bishops' Conference of Scotland is a permanently constituted assembly which meets regularly throughout the year to address relevant business matters.

The Jubilee Prayer

Father in heaven,
may the faith you have given us
in your son, Jesus Christ, our brother,
and the flame of charity enkindled in our hearts by the Holy Spirit, reawaken in us the blessed hope for the coming of your Kingdom.

May your grace transform us into tireless cultivators of the seeds of the Gospel.
May those seeds transform from within both humanity and the whole cosmos in the sure expectation of a new heaven and a new earth,
when, with the powers of Evil vanquished,
your glory will shine eternally.

May the grace of the Jubilee reawaken in us, Pilgrims of Hope, a yearning for the treasures of heaven. May that same grace spread the joy and peace of our Redeemer throughout the earth. 

To you our God, eternally blessed, be glory and praise for ever.

Amen

News from the Commissions and Agencies

October 2024
Dunkeld Diocese held their annual Mission Day in Our Lady of Victories Dundee on Saturday 19th October. The annual event coincides with Mission Sunday and involves people across the diocese coming together to discuss a topic related to the areas of mission, justice and peace, or caritas and to consider how they can respond.

The theme for this year was "Persecuted Christians" and attendees were joined on the day by their new bishop, Bishop Andrew McKenzie, and Canon Kevin Golden, Fr Mike Freyne and Fr Tobias Okoro. Two of our Diocesan Commissioners at Justice & Peace Scotland, Sue and Nick, were involved on the day, too.

If you have a good news story about any justice and peace related work happening in your parish, school or diocese, we want to hear about it!
Drop us a message at Office@justiceandpeacescotland.org.uk and we will share your stories to help inspire others.

Our 5th module began today with a Day of Recollection. We started with Mass of the Holy Spirit in St Peter’s Basilica, under the beautiful stain glass window of the Holy Spirit. I always find this an inspiring image, especially when we are seeking the Spirit’s guidance. After a meditation delivered by Fr Timothy Radcliffe we were given the draft Final Report to read in silence. I headed off to the Vatican Gardens which was a beautiful setting for pondering the text in silence. The afternoon consisted of Conversation in the Spirit within our Small Group. Tomorrow we begin discussing the text and proposing changes.

Strathclyde Diamond Jubilee Town and Gown Lecture Series
Professor Sir Harry Burns: 'Conflict or Compassion: How do we choose?'
Wednesday 23 October, 18:00
The Social Hub Glasgow, 15 Candleriggs, Glasgow G1 1TQ, UKhttps://www.strath.ac.uk/staff/burnsharrysir/

In 2024, we celebrate Strathclyde’s Diamond Jubilee – 60 years since the granting of our Royal Charter. In the penultimate lecture of the Town and Gown series, Professor Sir Harry Burns will discuss the science of how our experiences determine how our brains work and how we value ourselves and others. As well as examine the societal conflicts that divide us—whether between social classes or in the current turmoil in the Middle East. What kind of world could we create if we chose care and compassion over exploitation and violence?

Sir Harry is renowned for addressing the link between poverty and ill health. He started his career in general surgery at Glasgow’s Royal Infirmary, before becoming Medical Director, and between 2005 and 2014, was Chief Medical Officer for Scotland.

This event is free to attend, but registration is required. Please note this event will not be recorded.
