Cornerstone No. 193, page 11
In the afternoon we celebrated the 50th Anniversary of the Ordination of
Women. We heard three inspiring stories from women who have followed
Christ’s calling, in particular, the Very Reverend Dr Margaret Forrester. There is
also an interview with this pioneering lady in the May edition of Life and Work.
Many things important to the church and its members were discussed. If you
would like to know more, the Church of Scotland website has many articles and
information. The Consolidated Deliverances for the GA 2018 contains certain
items which are most relevant to the International Presbytery. Without the
relevant reports from the various committees, it is not always easy to
understand where the deliverances are coming from. I have a copy of the Blue
Book in which all the reports are published if anyone is interested to see it or
look on the link; https://www.gapublications.co.uk/publications/assembly-
reports-blue-book
The GA was truly memorable, the singing, the preaching, the sharing and
meeting with other commissioners, and I was very grateful to be part of it.
Thank you for allowing me to attend to be part of it.
Sylvia McKillop, Presbytery Elder
