What People Are Saying About The National Gathering
I am really excited about what God is doing through CWW. God is encouraging His people to become risky Christians, building relationships in the wider community and working for transformation. CWW has become a great catalyst for great change and I commend its work.
The concept of 'Church Without Walls' will appeal to Salvationists since we were birthed in open-air ministry more than a century ago. Meeting meet with other Christians at The National Gathering will give opportunity to celebrate the diversity of ministry that is represented by the churches in Scotland. Whilst the dates clash with the Army's Roots Convention there will be those who will want to be part of the united witness which will also provide a unique opportunity to help those who live and serve in poorer areas of the world
I encourage members of the SEC to take part in this event, which provides an opportunity to share experiences of mission and ministry and explore ways of working together ecumenically.

The Scottish Bible Society is delighted to be working with Church without Walls at the National Gathering. We have sponsored the printing of Bible texts into the fabric of the tents in a few different languages. Our conviction is that whatever else we leave behind we cannot leave behind God’s word! The tents that churches buy will be used in different parts of the world by relief agencies. We want folk who end up using these tents to be able to read a verse from the Bible in a language they recognise. Then the Gathering will be reaching beyond Scotland!
