"It is a great honor to participate as chaplain of the Foothills Highland Games. The process of becoming involved has caused me to look at my own roots, and to appreciate the great heritage of the Scottish people. I have become interested in the close connection between Scottish History and the Christian (Presbyterian) faith. The two have been forged together through time, and can provide strength to each other in years ahead as the legacy of the Highlander continues to make its mark on the world."
