The Chapel Royal in Scotland has four new members.
During an evening service at Corstorphine Old Parish Church in Edinburgh on Thursday, Reverend Dr Grant Barclay, Reverend Moira McDonald, Reverend Dr Marjory MacLean and Reverend Professor John Swinton FRSE FBA were all installed as Chaplains in Ordinary to Her Majesty the Queen.
Members of the Chapel Royal take part in formal state occasions and conduct services at significant national events.
Chaplains might also serve HM the Queen as her personal spiritual advisers when she is in Scotland.
There are 10 chaplains to the Queen in Scotland and each normally holds office until the age of 70.
The service, attended by congregation members included a rousing rendition of God Save the Queen and concluded with music composed for Corstorphine Old’s minister Rev Moira McDonald by Dr Archibald Ewing.
All chaplains are all personally chosen by the Queen and are people in whom she has placed her trust.
A Monthly Gift Of $11 Makes A World Of Difference
In a world of fake news there’s never been a greater need for quality Christian journalism. Premier’s mission is to provide the Church with the most up to date and relevant news, told from a Christian perspective. But we can’t do it without you.
Unlike many websites we haven't put up a paywall — we want to keep our journalism free at the point of need and as open as we can. Premier’s news output takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. No one in the USA is sharing news like we are across radio, magazines and online so please help us to continue that today.
For a monthly gift of $11 or more we’d also be able to send you a free copy of the brand new Premier Bible, a wonderful Anglicised version of the NLT packed with exclusive bonus content, reading plan and resources to help you get the most out of scripture.
Your monthly support will make a world of difference. Thank you.
