Our Minister: Brian Hilsley

After ten years practising as a solicitor here in Edinburgh I began training for ministry spending three years at Edinburgh University and then a further year as an assistant in St Ninian's, Costorphine. I was ordained in Wardie on 27th September 1990.

Dorothy and I have been married since 1980 and we have one son. For recreation I enjoy reading, listening to music, singing and sport. As a season ticket holder at Easter Road I have learned to cope with disappointment and to maintain eternal optimism!

Parish ministry is a great privilege and I cannot imagine doing anything else. This is a challenging but a very exciting time to be part of the church as we try to discover what it means to be the body of Christ in 21st century Scotland.

In Wardie we are trying to do our bit to meet the challenge, along with our neighbouring congregations and I am very glad to be part of that, surrounded as I am, by a wonderful team of people.
