Presbytery Clerk

Euan is ‘church lawyer’ for the 27 congregations of Gordon Presbytery. He advises on legal matters,  listens to concerns from ministers and members of congregations, maintains all  the Presbytery records, and is a link between the central church organisation and local congregations.   
He serves on the Business Committee and is the Editor of the Presbytery year book.

As Clerk he is an ex officio member of all other committees. 

Donside Area Group

Euan, along with representatives from the 2 congregations, is a member of the steering group which meets 4 times per year to discuss ways in which the congregations can come together to share in worship  and mission activities, and to plan  events.
Since 2014 the area group has ceased to work and it is hoped that in the future can be restarted.

Ministers' Fraternal

Once per month Euan joins colleagues from other local  congregations  along with clergy from the Episcopal and Roman Catholic churches.
These  ministers’ fraternal meetings, which take place in different manses, give  the  clergy a chance to chat and enjoy fellowship. They discuss the  work  of their congregations, share stories and support each other.

Minister's Book Club

Euan is a member of a local ministers’ book club. Being part of this  group has encouraged a broader understanding of theology, and directed him to  books he would not normally have chosen for himself.
