Motion · S6M-04620 · 24 May 2022

Welcoming the St Margaret Declaration

Lodged by Alex Cole-Hamilton (Scottish Liberal Democrats) Standard Motion 25 supporters

The motion

That the Parliament welcomes the approval of the St Margaret Declaration, a joint statement of friendship between the Catholic Church in Scotland and the Church of Scotland, by the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of Scotland and the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland; commends the Catholic Church in Scotland and the Church of Scotland for acknowledging the historic issues that have divided the churches, and further commends the churches for, it believes, refusing to be bound by the past and their desire to promote the healing of division within the life of the Scottish nation.
