I feel like if you could take Chicago-style pizza and put it in Edinburgh, it becomes the best place in the universe, maybe.

But I love Edinburgh because it's a clean city.

There's a lot of things to do.

It's the old and the new just kind of colliding there.

And what I especially like is the old.

I love to walk around the city and look at all the different architecture.

What I especially love is the history.

And what I especially love about the history is the old Presbyterian history.

And it seems like as you walk through old Scotland, you can't go a block, literally a block, without there being some massive stone old Presbyterian church on every corner, every one.

And I walk through Edinburgh and it just delights me because I can do it with a number of those churches where I can point at that church and I can, ah, this pastor served in that church back when.

Or this missionary was sent out from that church back then.

And it just delights me to think about that rich history.

It also incredibly demoralizes me as I walk through Edinburgh.

Because most of those churches are no longer churches.

They become community centers.

They become non-profits.

Some of them are just boarded up.

And it didn't just happen.

That's Jude's concern here.

That this could happen to these churches.
