Churches sign up to unique partnership
The Rev John Humphreys, the Rev Lily Twist, and the Most Rev David Chillingworth signing the Statement.
A partnership between the Scottish Episcopal Church, the Methodist Church in Scotland and the United Reformed Church’s National Synod of Scotland has been sealed by church leaders at a special service at St Ninian’s Episcopal Cathedral, Perth.
The partnership agreement was signed for the SEC by the Most Rev David Chillingworth, Bishop of St Andrews, Dunkeld & Dunblane and Primus of the Scottish Episcopal Church.
He said: “Our General Synod has whole-heartedly welcomed this developing relationship with our partner churches.
“Many relations of this kind are aspirational in character. What makes this relationship so encouraging is that it is rooted in work which we already share in training and mission development. We look forward to a further sharing of resources and ministry as together we address the mission challenges of our times.”
Joining Bishop David in the signing of the Agreement were the Rev Lily Twist, Chair of the Methodist Church in Scotland, and Rev John Humphreys, Moderator of the United Reformed Church, National Synod of Scotland.
