18/05/2026

First Minister John Swinney MSP addressing the 2026 General Assembly of the Free Church of Scotland:

"You support some of the most vulnerable and disadvantaged in our society whether through pastoral care, community outreach or practical support. Your efforts not only provide material help but also dignity, compassion and hope in a society that needs an abundance of dignity, compassion and hope. The Scottish Government deeply values these contributions."

John Swinney MSP, First Minister of Scotland, has attended the opening session of the 2026 General Assembly of the Free Church of Scotland.

He said the Assembly serves as a reminder of the enduring role that faith communities play in Scotland’s national life, saying: “They are spaces not only of reflection and of governance but also of dialogue between the Church, civic society and political leaders.”
