The General Synod of the Scottish Episcopal Church has been meeting in Edinburgh this week — the first time it has met in person since 2019 (although it has been set up as a hybrid gathering to include members who wish to participate over video link).
Francis Martin has been there to report for the Church Times. He sat down on Saturday with the Primus, the Most Revd Mark Strange, Bishop of Moray, Ross & Caithness, to talk about how the meeting has gone.
Bishop Strange also spoke about how the Scottish Episcopal Church is responding to the climate crisis, the recent St Andrew’s Declaration with the Church of Scotland (News, 3 December 2021), the mediation process in the diocese of Aberdeen & Orkney (News, 8 October 2021), and the forthcoming Lambeth Conference.
Detailed reports of the Synod will be published in the 17 June issue of the Church Times and online in the coming days.
