Welcome to Prof Andy


On Saturday we welcomed Rev Professor Andrew McGowan from the Highland Theological College in Scotland to Tasmania. He and June flew into Launceston in the morning, bringing the Scottish weather with them - see photo above! After lunch with their billets, Andrew and June were able to indulge their passion for birdwatching and photography at the local wetlands information centre, where they saw their first Black Swans, and other endemic species. Andrew was particularly taken with the White Face Heron and Chestnut Teal, as well as the mounted Wedge Tail and Sea Eagles in the information centre.

Andrew spoke at St Andrew's Launceston on Sunday. On Tuesday he will give three talks on The Holy Spirit at our one day Refresh Conference at Riverside.

Report on the conference and more photos to follow.
