CHURCH REPLIES, SORT OF, TO LETTER ABOUT CHARLES 111

Dear Mr Lawson,

Thank you for your letter to the Moderator of the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland, the Rt Revd Sally Foster-Fulton.  The Moderator has seen your correspondence and asked me to respond on her behalf.

Mrs Foster-Fulton notes your concerns about the Honours of Scotland, but has asked me to clarify that her role is an honorary one, and this is not a matter on which she has authority to intervene.

Thank you again for taking the time to get in contact.

Kind regards,

Catherine

Re: Letter to the Moderator

Many thanks for your reply. I am surprised that the Moderator did not undertake to pass my correspondence to whoever does have authority to intervene. I would be grateful for the correspondence contact details of this person or committee so that I can follow up with them.

It may interest the Moderator to know that many thousands of people have read my original  letter and in line with my social media promise I will share this response with them. 

Best Wishes

Iain Lawson

MY COMMENT

I am now clearly in the delay phase, but given the proximity of the 5th July event I will continue to pursue a clear reply. I know if someone wrote to me and I knew who they should have contacted I would have passed the correspondence on. Rather surprising the Moderator does not follow this practice. I wonder if it only applies in the case of potentially embarrassing matters.
