The Rt Revd Bruce Cameron writes:“I ALWAYS valued his wisdom and his wit in matters of our church and the life of Scotland,” said the Bishop of Brechin, the Rt Revd Andrew Swift, on the death, on 11 November, of one of his predecessors, Bishop Bob Halliday, aged 93. At Holy Cross that encompassed the Halliday family of his wife, Gina, and his young daughter, Fiona. In Scotland, there were various initiatives to bring churches closer together, and Bob Halliday actively contributed to them. In 1990, Bob Halliday was elected as Bishop of Brechin, a position that he held until his retirement in 1996. Words from a church member in Brechin diocese speak for many of us who experienced the wisdom and wit of Bob Halliday: “Rest in peace, Bishop Bob, you served us well.”
