This month marks the 40th anniversary of the decision of the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland to admit women to the ministry of word and sacrament.
Yesterday saw the launch of a book brimming with liturgy and reflections, sermons and stories all written by women ministers, published to celebrate this momentous milestone.
The grand old lady who petitioned the assembly 45 years ago - it took 5 years for the petition to be granted - was at the launch, still as feisty as ever and giving thanks that at least on this visit to the Assembly she didn't have to wear a hat as she did 45 years ago.
What fun to be a part of and to contribute to such an occasion.
