Speaking on behalf of the College of Bishops of the Scottish Episcopal Church, the Primus, the Most Rev David Chillingworth, said on 19 Sept 2014

The people of Scotland have decided that Scotland will continue to be part of the grouping of nations which make up the United Kingdom.

The Scottish Episcopal Church is an historic Scottish Church.   Our story is interwoven with the story of Scotland.  We commit ourselves to working with all the people of Scotland as our relationships with our neighbours continue to evolve.

We hold particularly in our hearts and in our prayers today those for whom this decision brings a feeling of hopes dashed and vision lost.  With our partner churches and all in the faith communities, we pledge ourselves to work for reconciliation and pray for healing in our community.
