Church that's been doing rather well south of the border for 175 years
The Church of Scotland has a host of activities planned for a year-long celebration of 175 years of worship in Carlisle - including a visit from the 'Scottish pope' [sic]. The church has been based in Chapel Street since 1831, after land was granted to it by the Earl of Lonsdale. The only Church of Scotland place of worship in Cumbria, it is one of just five in England.A thanksgiving service on July 1 will be given by the Rt Rev Sheilagh Kesting, the moderator of the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland. Andy Cunningham, one of the elders at Carlisle, said: "This is a real coup. She is the highest person in our church - "the Scottish pope if you like " - and has so many demands on her time."
