They have more to gain than lose in this decision.

Yes, of course! I really do think this is a wonderful step up for Scotland! I do not think God would mind at all!

A Prayer for the Ministers:

O God, who willest that all people should be saved and come to the knowledge of the truth: Prosper, we pray thee, all those who labour in the Gospel at home and in distant lands; protect them in all perils, and support them in loneliness and in the hour of trial; give them thy grace to bear faithful witness unto thee; endue them with burning zeal and love, that they may turn many to righteousness; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
