Aberdeen and Orkney
The diocese of Aberdeen and Orkney covers Aberdeen, the home of the North Sea oil industry, as well as rural Aberdeenshire and the northern isles of Orkney and Shetland.
There are four branches:
- St. Andrews Cathedral, Aberdeen
- St. James, Holburn Junction, Aberdeen
- St. Mary on the Rock, Ellon and St James the Less, Cruden Bay
- St Clement’s Fellowship Group
Our membership, which includes diocesan members, is just over a hundred.
Members are involved in the following activities:
- Running Parent and Toddler Groups,
- Services for residents of Sheltered Housing and a Resource Centre.
- Knitting baby clothes for premature babies.
- Providing toilet bags for emergency hospital admission and Women's Aid.
- A monthly prayer group meets on the third Monday at 2.30 pm in the John Skinner Centre at St Andrew's Cathedral.
Although small in number we are very active and try to keep abreast of all that is happening in Mothers' Union.
We are delighted that our Diocesan President will be representing the diocese and province at the worldwide Special Regional Meeting of the Mothers' Union in Zambia in October 2009.
We are linked through correspondence and prayer with the dioceses of
- Kootenay (Canada)
- New Westminster (Canada)
- Ruvuma (Tanzania)
- South West Tanganyika (Tanzania)
- Sheffield
