The Fellowship of St. Thomas (FOST), is an association of Christians in Scotland which aims to:
a) Learn from the experience and insights of the Churches of South Asia (India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal, Sri Lanka and Burma(Myanmar)) and to share these with the Churches in Scotland.
b) Encourage corporate and private prayer for and with these Churches.
c) Welcome visitors from South Asia.
d) Encourage links between Christians in Scotland and Christians in South Asia.A service of Holy Communion is celebrated annually, according to the liturgy of one of the Churches of South Asia, in association with a meeting where invited speakers and members consider some issue or issues arising out of the life and witness of these churches. Other meetings are held, from time to time, usually in Edinburgh or Glasgow, when an opportunity arises to welcome and hear from a visitor from one of these South Asian countries. Members are also informed by the publication of a regular Newsletter.
New members are always welcome. To join or simply learn more of the activities of the Fellowship contact the secretary, Rev. Murdoch MacKenzie - by e-mail - or at: 'Torridon', 4 Ferryfield Road, Connel, Argyll PA37 1SR. Alternatively, you can download a copy of our latest information leaflet, which contains a Membership Form.
