The Free Church of Scotland (Continuing) have announced that Moderator-designate of their next General Assembly is Rev John W. Keddie, currently minister at Bracadale in Skye. Mr Keddie is expected to take up his duties as Moderator in May.

Born in 1946 and educated in Edinburgh, John Keddie first professed faith in 1966 under the ministry of the Rev James Philip. He came into the membership of the Free Church at St Columba's, Edinburgh some two years later

Mr Keddie is a qualified accountant and a member of the Chartered Management Institute. He worked in London for twelve years and for a time was Commercial Manager of the Dunlop Sports Company.

Following theological studies in the Free Church College and a pastorate in Burghead, Mr Keddie has, since 1997, been ministering on the Island of Skye where he is minister of Bracadale Free Church (Continuing).
