As my mum’s friend who lives a couple of minutes away said, “That’s no bookshop they’re building!”. I think she thinks we’re secretly building another theological college.

After 3 solid months in the Autumn spent writing the content, and then handing it over to professional web designers, Synod finally saw the launch of
Reformation History.org
The brainchild of SAQ, the website aims to be an accessible introduction to Scottish and Irish Reformation and Covenanter history – while pointing users to the resources needed for further study.
Have a look and see what you think!

“You what?!”
The RP sporting world has been shocked by the revelation this week that that annual RP Football Tournament at Ballyclabber will take place on Saturday 17th July 2010 – the day 300+ (ish) Irish men and women head to Scotland for the International Holiday Conference.

Not amused
The nation’s football fans have been left wondering – who will turn up? William Hill initially were offering a good price on Strob – not allowed to go to Gartmore – winning it by himself. But then they realised that he probably wouldn’t be allowed to play football either. Sealand would seem to be the sensible choice however.

Tournament favourite
With the prize there for the taking – will any congregation attempt to play in the tournament and then fly a private jet over to the Trossachs? How will the eventually winners of the tournament be regarded by history? Who will be there to take photos – or blog it – or watch? Will a ‘Ballyclabber Continuing’ tournament take place at Gartmore?
If anybody’s left in Ireland come the 17th of July, please let us know what happens – then turn off the lights and get over here!
