‘A Love Letter to St Mark’s’
Rev. Roger Fritts
“In the summer of 2007, I was honoured to spend three months as the
guest minister of your congregation. Rev. Andrew Hill had just finished a
long and successful ministry here, and I was on sabbatical from my
Unitarian congregation in Bethesda, Maryland. I had never been to
Edinburgh or Scotland and I did not know what to expect. It turned out
that you are a very congenial group of people. In my sermon I will be
sharing my positive memories and feelings about your city and your
church”.
