Our Minister 

Gibraltar is pioneering a 75% ministry, one of the first of its kind. Until recently it was linked with a sister congregation in the Costa Del Sol , and the minister traveled between the two. Dissolving that link has enabled both congregations to have the services of a minister of their own. In Gibraltar, the duties and needs of the post required more than a part-time locum, but because the financial resources were not available for a full-time post, when a new  minister was appointed it was agreed that this would be on a full-time basis for 75% of the year and at less busy times the manse would be occupied by a series of  guest ministers.  

The current minister is Rev Stewart Lamont B.Sc, B.D.(Hons) who was educated at Grove Academy, Broughty Ferry and the University of St Andrews where he was a Hockey blue, Convener of Debates, and President of the Union(1969-70) and served on the University Court from 1970-82.

He was  Assistant minister at Greenbank Parish, Edinburgh 1971-2; then  Radio producer Religious Broadcasting with the BBC from 1972-80. He then embarked on a freelance career as a television & radio producer/presenter from 1980-91, and newspaper columnist and freelance journalist (1980-2002) with The Herald and Scotsman newspapers.

He also served as part-time minister at Abernyte, Perthshire 1980-82, and was Parish minister Kinning Park, Glasgow 1991-99. From 1999-2002 he was posted to Brussels as Executive Secretary (Brussels), of the Conference of European Churches (CEC)  before coming to Gibraltar as Locum minister in November 2002, and inducted as minister here on October 23rd 2003.

Mr. Lamont’s publications include  In Good Faith (1987) , his weekly column in “The (Glasgow) Herald” published as a collection, and  ten other books, which include a thriller “The Third Angle”(1978); a study of the  paranormal(1980); an expose of Scientology :Religion Inc.(Harrap1985); Church & State: uneasy alliances (The Bodley Head 1989); The Swordbearer, a biography of John Knox(1991) and St Andrew(1995) [both Hodder] . A study of famous Scots  “When Scotland ruled the world” was published by HarperCollins in 2001 and is available in paperback.
