‘The Most Rev David Chillingworth, Bishop of St Andrews, Dunkeld & Dunblane and Primus of the Scottish Episcopal Church says “I send warm congratulations to Alex Salmond and his party on their success in the recent elections. We value greatly the close relationships which have developed between the Scottish Government, members of the Scottish Parliament and faith groups. Public representatives are people with a calling to serve the whole community. We respect that commitment and support them with our prayers and our good will. This is an important time in Scotland. We are shaping a new future. We are trying to lay to rest the sectarianism of the past. As churches, we look forward to working with the new Scottish Government to shape the values which will define our community. Scottish society carries forward from the past a distinctive character and particular strengths. We look forward to being part of the work of re-fashioning that distinctive character for the future.”
