Entrance, Garthdee Parish Church
The church dates from 1952 and is of concrete construction.
The inscription over the doors:
'NEC TAMEN CONSUMEBATUR'
roughly translates as: Nec: it was not; tamen: however; consumebatur: it was consumed.
The wording refers to the Book of Exodus in the Bible when Moses encountered the burning bush. No matter how much it burned, it was never consumed by the flames.
The central emblem above the wording (between a cross and a dove of peace) represents the burning bush. These are emblems used by the Church of Scotland.
Apparently in recent years it became clear that hundreds of thousands of pounds of urgent repairs were required to the building. Local organisations and members of the church attempted to save the building in 2018 after it was announced it could be knocked down due to the high cost and the dropping numbers in the congregation. The church has now been empty since 2020, and it looks like it will be demolished and the land used for redevelopment.
