Motion · S5M-05482 · 8 May 2017
The Reverend George Cowie, Chaplain to The Queen
The motion
That the Parliament congratulates the Reverend George Cowie, of South Holburn Church, Aberdeen, on his appointment to serve as a personal chaplain to Her Majesty The Queen; notes Reverend Cowie's more than 26 years' experience as a parish minister and recognises that he is joining the royal household as chaplain-in-ordinary; understands that the role, which dates back to the 15th century, includes many ceremonial functions that might require him to take part in formal state occasions and conduct services at significant national events, and wishes Reverend Cowie all the very best in his new role.
