| The highlights of the conference for most people were: worship, "togetherness" and the main speakers. |
| “By far the most inspiring conference I have attended in Scotland during nearly 30 years of ministry” |
| “…wonderful atmosphere, everyone positive and up for it.” |
| “…first time I’ve been to this type of conference and it was wonderful.” |
| “Great! I’ve been inspired, enthused, touched, in tears, had a great laugh, and most definitely RE-ENERGISED.” |
| “Arrived whacked – wondering if really for me; left rejoicing, encouraged and re-energised!” |
| “…feel blessed and nourished by the Holy Spirit, can’t wait for the next one.” |
| “An excellent, well balanced, positive, friendly, practical, refreshing, receiving conference.” |
| “…but the sense of balance that the whole C of S was represented was important.” |
| “Was so encouraged that broad spectrum of church was represented – I thought a few barriers were broken or at least chipped away at.” |
| “Ashamed to admit, but far exceeded my expectations!” |
| “I wish I could bottle it and take it home to the rest of my congregation.” |
| “..lack confidence…cynical about the state of the Kirk. This conference demonstrated the breadth of quality in the whole church and challenged me to set about challenging cynicism in our congregation.” |
| “I was on the verge of resigning as an Elder in my fragmented church. I could not possibly do that now. I must and will motivate change.” |
| "Need a better sound system" |
| “Met so many great interesting people. Have formed a partnership with a person from a different part of Scotland” |
| “Fab venue, although breakout rooms small and often could not attend first choice especially the 5-6 slot. Not too much of a problem as all were interesting and worthwhile.” |
| “A lot to cover and share in a short time, but shorter time ineffective and longer time impractical. You have achieved a difficult, but probably optimal balance.” |
| "Vegetarian does not mean vegetables only" |
| "Workshop discussion after each speaker" |
| "Communion please" |
| “I want to bring everyone to this conference, but as this is not possible I’ll need to bring the energy from the conference to others.” |
