THE Episcopal Church of Scotland yesterday named its new leader.
The Bishop of Glasgow and Galloway, the Rt Rev Dr Idris Jones, was elected at a meeting of the College of Bishops in Dunblane to succeed the Rt Rev Bruce Cameron, who stepped down from the role earlier this month after five years as Primus.
Dr Jones said: "The Episcopal Church is well poised in many areas to make a significant contribution to developing the life of our nation. I call upon every congregation and every diocese to join with the College of Bishops in making sure that our Church puts forward the Kingdom of God in serving the communities of which we are a part."
