The Most Rev David Chillingworth, Bishop of St Andrews, Dunkeld & Dunblane and Primus of the Scottish Episcopal Church says “I warmly welcome the election of Rev Dr Derek Browning as the Moderator-Designate of the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland. I have sent him warm greetings from the Scottish Episcopal Church and assured him of our prayers as he prepares for his year of office.

“I greatly value the friendship and mutual support among those who exercise leadership in our churches and faith communities. I look forward very much to working with Dr Browning.”
