Yesterday the selection committee of the Church of Scotland named from their three nominees the Rev. Sheilagh Kesting as the moterator designate for the next General Assembly to take office at the Assembly in May.  Rev. Kesting will become the first woman minister and the second woman to serve in that office.  After the announcement she said that ecumenical relations would be “the No 1 priority” for her.  She presently serves as the secretary for the Church of Scotland’s Committee on Ecumenical Relations.

The announcement is widely covered but here is the article from Scotsman.com.
