OASIS is a non-profit organisation serving the
business community and exploring connections
between business and spirituality. The
organisation is sponsored by the Parish Church of
St Cuthbert in partnership with St John's Church
and St Andrew's & St George's West Church. It
operates as a partnership of business and church
leaders who seek to support individuals and groups
in the business community.
For a few years Oasis had been relatively
inactive. However St Cuthbert's minister, Rev
David Denniston and a dedicated team of volunteers
have been working hard at ‘re-launching’ OASIS,
with events being planned for this Autumn. The next up coming event is the ‘Inter-Office Quiz’ on Wednesday 26 October. Click here for details.
The other exciting news is that the three partner
churches of ‘Edinburgh City Centre Churches
TOGETHER’ have now appointed a Workplace Chaplain
who will be working in the City Centre from
October. He is Reverend Tony Bryer and we
look forward to welcoming Tony in the autumn. He
will be working with us in OASIS
as well as being available as a chaplain to all
who work in the City Centre and working with our
partners in St Andrew’s & St George’s West in
their outreach work to the retail sector.
In the meanwhile, David continues to be available
to any (of any faith or none) in the business
community who would want to talk with someone.
Along with others in the St Cuthbert’s and
TOGETHER ministry teams, David is happy to
'Be
There'
and St Cuthbert's (along with St John's) remains
open during the day for those seeking a place of
peace, prayerfulness and sanctuary.
On the first Wednesday of each month (except
January) between September and June a lunchtime
'soul space'
is offered in the main sanctuary of St Cuthbert's Church between 1.00pm and 1.30pm.

The evening soul space is 'open house' between 5.30pm and 8.30pm, to allow people to come and go, as and when they please.There will be a few minutes of optional, quiet worship offered at 7.00pm and 8.30pm.
