Jonny Clipston
Probationary Minister JClipston@churchofscotland.org.uk Grew up in the Borders but now lives in Edinburgh. Jonny is a lover of many sports but especially rugby. He has an eclectic music taste and a broad sense of humour, so hopefully somewhere in that you’ll find something to talk about. He has many passions and counts himself fortunate that after working in the fitness industry and now Christian ministry, he has got to work in two of them. |
