Rev Dr Graham Redding (Moderator Designate) has agreed that the centenary celebrations of Dr Porteous’s arrival in the Punjab can commence at General Assembly 2008. Suggestions include a formal function just prior to the Assembly, an archival research project culminating in a historical publication, restoration of film and a photographic display, as well as a special fundraising effort for the work in Jagadhri. The idea is that these displays will then move around the country with regional celebrations in a number of centres.
