Reply to the Queen's Letter – General Assembly 2019
Reply to the Queen’s Letter – General Assembly 2019 TO THE QUEEN'S MOST EXCELLENT MAJESTY May it please Your Majesty We, Your Majesty's loyal subjects convened in General Assembly, have received with pleasure Your Majesty's gracious letter to us. We greatly value Your Majesty's continuing pledge to maintain the historic rights and privileges of the Church of Scotland. Your Majesty and His Royal Highness the Duke of Edinburgh continue to be in our prayers. The reappointment of the Duke of Buccleuch and Queensberry as Your Majesty's Lord High Commissioner to our General Assembly has been much appreciated. His Grace has developed a warm relationship with the Church of Scotland and it is good to have him back in our company as a friend of the Kirk. These are indeed challenging times for the Christian Church and it is good to know that Your Majesty continues to pray for us as we stretch towards being the Church which God is calling us to be. In these efforts we need to work with other denominations and we value Your Majesty’s interest in these developing relationships. We were pleased to hear that Your Majesty has welcomed our close partnership with the Church of England. Soon after the close of this Assembly we will be sharing with our brothers and sisters in the global prayer initiative “Thy Kingdom Come” and this along with other ties can only strengthen our common concern for the local church both north and south of the border. It is good to know that Your Majesty is aware of our presence and work in Israel and Palestine.
