 Fy enw i gyd y byddwyd hynny, mae'r gweithio am gyflaesion, mae'r gweithio am gyflaesion yma yma yma yn Rhefverend Anna-Gauch Shute, Bradwell. Y minister y Humbie, fyddwn i'n gweithio i'r bwladenol i Boulton yn Saulton Church. Fy enw i. Fy enw i. Fy enw i'n gweithio i'n Gwladenol. Fy enw i'n gweithio i'r Llyfrgell. Fy enw i'n gweithio i'r gweithio i'n gweithio i'n gweithio i'r dwylliant diwrnod i eu Gwladenol, in France, Italy, Norway and on the beautiful island of Iona. As a child I couldn't have imagined that this would be where I would end up 16 years later as a parish minister and a mama to a beautiful boy who has just started primary one. I'm so grateful for the opportunities that I have had to travel and to find a new home here where I feel safe and welcome, especially in a world that has seen so much change and uncertainty. I'm also conscious that I have had advantages compared to other migrants. I am white, university educated and can speak and understand English. There are many people in society including members of the church who have barriers to overcome in order to choose where to live, where to bring up their family, where to feel safe. And we know of so many people who are denied that choice because of where they are born. It could have so easily happened to me too. If the iron curtain hadn't come down, I'm not sure what my life would be like today, but I almost certainly wouldn't be standing here. Through encounters with the diversity of humankind, we celebrate our God-given spirit of creativity and imagination. The sharing of stories and meeting of cultures is a theme that runs through Scripture, and the history of Christianity is full of believers travelling and spreading the message of God's love. Modern Scotland is enriched through a variety of cultures, faith and languages. We can learn from one another, gaining you insights and new understandings. As you begin your work this week, remember the gift of the opportunities you have been given, and give thanks. Give thanks also for those stories of lives of migrants, remembering that even Jesus himself saw shelter and sanctuary from persecution shortly after his birth. May we offer our open hearts and open minds to welcome this stranger as a way we can share in some of the blessings we all enjoy, grateful that they have chosen Scotland as their home, and hope and belief that they will be a gift to our community and nation as they serve one another and share their lives with us. Thank you. Thank you Reverend Schutzbradwell.
