I went from Bruce's reply to Mike to his (Bruce's) web site and was confused to read: Communion will be celebrated by Rev Alison Finch (Episcopalian) Vicar of Kirkwall at 8 pm on Wed 08 Dec 2004 in the Church Hall, Stronsay Is it that the minister serving communion is of the Episcopalian faith rather than Presbyterian, or is the local church no longer supporting a regular minister? I reached Stronsay only once, in 1987, at which time there was a young minister with family serving the church. Anne Slater (descended from Stronsay's Watts, Learmonths, Peaces...)
