I don’t know how I missed this the first time but I caught this in a recent follow-up:

In an article in the November 5 Sunday Times the Church of Scotland Moderator Designate, the Rev. Sheilagh Kesting, stated that “the time is right” for the church to permit the blessing of same-sex partnerships.  This past May the General Assembly voted to provisionally allow it but also voted to send it to the presbyteries for their approval.  The article also says that an informal survey of the presbyteries indicate that ten of thirteen presbyteries are against it.

Today’s article in Christian Today mentions the moderator designate’s comments but was occasioned by the unanimous vote in the Presbytery of Lewis against giving permission for the blessings.  This is the first presbytery to vote unanimously against it.
