Bishop Vincent Logan RIP

I was sad to hear of the death of Bishop Vincent Logan.  Bishop Vincent served the people of the Diocese of Dunkeld well for many years.  He was a well-known figure in the civic life of Dundee.  He had a long-standing interest in education.  From my time as the National Secretary for Justice and Peace Scotland  I know that Bishop Vincent was committed to justice and peace.  Taking a strong line for example on the miners' strike and also calling for fairness in world trade when the G8 met at Gleneagles - indeed he wrote to all the members of the G8 welcoming them to the Diocese and asking that they make the effort to make poverty history.

On a personal note, Bishop Vincent was very supportive and helpful when I was researching for my doctorate, which was on Irish migration to Dundee.  Bishop Vincent was able to get me access to documents and books which helped with that study.  I want to thank him for his help and encouragement.

I want to pass on my condolences to Bishop Vincent's family and friends and to the people of the Diocese of Dunkeld, may he rest in peace.
