The Very Rev Albert Bogle has always been ahead of his time. Now he describes himself as a Pioneer Minister.

The Edinburgh Reporter met the former Moderator at the Royal Highland Show at the end of last week when he explained: ” I am pioneering a church for people who don’t go to church.

“There are so many people who are cheesed off with church.

“What happens in a Sunday is not connecting with them.

“They are people of faith. They still have a deep Christian faith but somehow they feel disenfranchised from the Christian community.

“I think it’s time to connect with those people again.

“Sanctuary First is all about that. Giving people the opportunity to have a daily prayer or bible reading on their phone and also to begin to connect with events that may interest them.

“So just download the Sanctuary First App on the app store!”
