In the last of the current series, Edi Stark talks to Rev Doug McRoberts about his varied career in the pulpit, as a journalist and broadcaster and as past spokesman for the nuclear energy industry.
He recalls his first pastoral care in the aftermath of the Clarkston Toll disaster where a gas explosion reduced a row of shops to rubble and killed 22 people.
After 7 years in broadcasting he took on a tricky public relations job (first at Dounreay and then for British Energy) particularly after the catastrophic nuclear accident in Chernobyl.
Now retired, he regards his most recent role as the most exciting, challenging and rewarding...while minister of St Andrew's Scots Church in Malta for five years, he led the development of Out of Africa, Into Malta which is helping many refugees start a new life.
