In 2006 when I moved to the west end of Glasgow for eighteen months, I hunted around for a church. I visited a large number, and reviewed them on my website.
The search gained a considerable amount of attention online, and while some of what I said was controversial and close to the bone, and while I might regret some of the bluntness all these years later, it was an accurate portrayal of my experiences of the different churches at the time. The search taught me a lot, too, and led me to a church in a way I didn’t quite foresee…
