Introducing our Moderator

Rev. Lorna Fyfe (Hamilton St John's) served as a Reader before being ordained OLM; she has served in a number of different roles across the Presbytery, currently serving as the Interim Moderator in Uddingston: Burnhead and as a chaplain within the NHS.

She brings a passion for working with others, notably through her work with Bethany Christian Trust and the Glasgow Street Pastors, and we are delighted she will be a part of the presbytery.

The moderator wears an official Badge of Office. The badge was designed and made by Karen Walls, a member at Larbert West Parish Church, and depict the Burning Bush from the story of Moses in the Bible, the symbol of the Church of Scotland in front of a Saltire.
