Aberdeen Ministers Raising Funds for Malawi

The motion

That the Parliament recognises the efforts by a group of Aberdeen-based Church of Scotland ministers to raise money for rural congregations in Blantyre, Malawi, by taking part in the Aberdeen to Malawi Bikeathon; understands that the ministers, the Rev Dr Robert Smith of Rubislaw Church, Rev Dr John Ferguson of Peterculter Church, Rev Markus Auffermann from Woodside Church, Rev Sarah Nichol of Midstocket Church, Rev Elsie Fortune from St Mary's Church, Rev Duncan Eddie of Holburn West Church and Rev Peter Johnston from Ferryhill Church, will take to their exercise and road bikes in the city, along with members of their congregations, to cycle the equivalent 12,000 miles distance from Aberdeen to Blantyre; believes that, through a twinning programme run by the church's World Mission Council, each congregation has a special connection with a congregation in Malawi, and wishes all of the ministers, and their congregations, the best of luck in raising money for communities in Malawi.
