Aberdeen Church Roof Blown Off

This is a bit of old news and I shall try and a get an accompanying picture soon. On Feb 1st the fifty year old copper roof of St Clements Church in Aberdeen was violently ripped off by strong gale. Looking like a piece of crumpled paper it was discarded by the wind onto Mastrick Drive. How in this densly populated housing estate no one was killed is a miracle in itself. This humble congregation has struggled financially for years and have always wondered what the future lay for their building? Now they will get a new roof and much more from their insurance company. One of the senior clergymen viewing the spot is reported to have exlcaimed, "There is a God!"
