Oh All Right Then

A well known Church of Scotland Minister with an unusually varied career has written a celebration of one of the most satisfying, challenging, intriguing and - occasionally - entertaining professions around.

From parish ministry to military chaplaincy, from the bowels of the Church offices in Edinburgh to the cliffs and beaches of Orkney, from the very outset of training to observations on the latter years of service, the immense variety of the ordained life is told with humour and thoughtfulness.

Marjory MacLean is one of the Church of Scotland's parish ministers in Orkney. In the past she has served as one of the Clerks of the Church's general Assembly, as a Chaplain in the Royal Naval Reserve, and in several small parishes in Orkney and Perthshire. She is the convener of the Church's Legal Questions Committee, and a Chaplain in Ordinary to His Majesty the King in Scotland.
