William Macleod, pastor of the <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Knightswood Church (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/knightswoodchurch.org\/\" target=\"_blank\">Knightswood Church<\/a>, Glasgow, was selected as the Moderator-Designate for their 2019 General Assembly in May.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mr Macleod is one of the original members of the Free Church of Scotland (Continuing) when it divided from the Free Church of Scotland in 2000. At that time he was serving as the pastor at <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Portree (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.freechurchcontinuing.org\/find-us\/congregations\/item\/portree\" target=\"_blank\">Portree<\/a> on the Isle of Skye. He began his pastoral service when he was ordained and inducted at the Patrick Free Church in 1976, and translated to Portree in 1993. He moved to his current pulpit at Knightswood, at that time known as Thornwood FCC, in 2006.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He has provided significant service to the Free Church (Continuing) including having previously served as GA Moderator in 2005. He also served as the editor of the\u00a0<em><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Free Church\u00a0Witness (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.freechurchcontinuing.org\/publications\/magazines\/witness\" target=\"_blank\">Free Church\u00a0Witness<\/a><\/em> magazine from 2000 to 2017, and as Principal of the <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Free Church Seminary (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"http:\/\/www.freechurchseminary.org\/home\/page19.html\" target=\"_blank\">Free Church Seminary<\/a> from 2003 to 2014 where he still serves\u00a0as a lecturer in Systematic Theology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He began his college studies at <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"berdeen University  (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.abdn.ac.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\">Aberdeen University <\/a>where he earned a BSc in 1972. (On a personal note I was interested to see on his <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"church bio (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/knightswoodchurch.org\/about\/church-details\/\" target=\"_blank\">church bio<\/a> that his studies included geology.) He began his pastoral training at the Free Church College in Edinburgh (now <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ets.ac.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\">Edinburgh Theological Seminary<\/a>) earning a diploma in theology in 1975. He continued his theological training, specifically in Systematic Theology, at <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Westminster Theological Seminary (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.wts.edu\/\" target=\"_blank\">Westminster Theological Seminary<\/a> (Pennsylvania, US) being awarded a ThM from there in 1976.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">William and his wife have three adult children and four grandchildren. His son Murdo is a filmmaker and directed the highly-acclaimed documentary <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Knox (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt4591784\/\" target=\"_blank\">Knox<\/a>, about the reformer John Knox. The working title was &#8220;Give Me Scotland&#8221; and there is some good background to the film <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"from Head Heart Hand (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"http:\/\/headhearthand.org\/blog\/2014\/10\/09\/a-feature-length-documentary-on-the-life-legacy-of-scotlands-reformer\/\" target=\"_blank\">from Head Heart Hand<\/a> that features Murdo. Their son Alasdair is the pastor of <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Knock and Point Free Church (Continuing) (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"http:\/\/www.knockfreechurch.org.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\">Knock and Point Free Church (Continuing)<\/a> on Lewis. Their daughter Christina is married to Ian and they have two young children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As I mentioned at the beginning, Mr Macleod was part of the original group when the Free Church of Scotland (Continuing) divided from the Free Church of Scotland in 2000. He wrote the forward to John W. Kiddie&#8217;s account of that and the events leading up to it, <em><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"A Divided Church (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"http:\/\/www.lulu.com\/shop\/john-w-keddie\/a-divided-church\/paperback\/product-23837362.html\" target=\"_blank\">A Divided Church<\/a><\/em>. Permit me to close with a few of his words from that Forward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>I have been asked whether I regretted the stand I made and the actions in which I was involved. Looking back, with the wisdom of hindsight, would I follow the same course again? Without a shadow of a doubt I would. True, there were times when I and others could have shown more humility along with firmness when more gracious words could have been used, but wrongs had to be opposed.<\/p><p>At the end of the day what matters is not what people think of us, our success or our popularity but rather doing what is right in the eyes of the Lord, dispite the cost. Soon we will all have to stand before the Judgement Seat. The things that are important to many people today will mean little then. Our concern must be to hear the Lord say to us: &#8220;Well done, good and faithful servant&#8221; (Matthew 25:23).<\/p><cite>(From A Divided Church: An account of the division in the Free Church of Scotland in 2000, p. 7-8)<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We wish Rev William Macleod well as he moderates the upcoming General Assembly set to begin on May 20, 2019, and our prayers are with him.
