Our Events
Go and Make Disciples of All Nations
Thursday December 3rd, 7pm
Islesburgh Community Centre, Lerwick
Join us as Jane Logan discusses what evidence there is that Christians made it to Shetland before the Viking Age, that is, before about 800CE? We know from archaeological excavation that the Picts lived here before 800CE, we see their artefacts and structures around the islands. But what of the carved stones? The cross-slabs from Noss and Papil? What can they tell us? And, of great interest, where did the Christians come from, and how did they get here? For more information contact us here.
