Minister named woman of the year
The Church of Scotland’s first female Asian minister has been named Woman of the Year less than 12 months after she was ordained.
Reverend Aquila Singh, who moved to Glasgow when she was aged just two, said she felt “honoured” to be recognised at the 12th Scottish Asian and Business Awards on Thursday night.
The Woman of the Year accolade recognises the achievements of an inspirational person who has made a positive impact on society.
Rev singh, who was ordained and inducted into Fernhill and Cathkin Parish Church in Rutherglen in January, was voted for by the public.
She said: “It has been quite a year for me.”
