THE Church of Scotland has announced the nominees for the office of Moderator of the General Assembly.

They were named as the Reverend David Arnott, formerly of Hope Park Church, St Andrews, now retired; the Rev Albert Bogle of St Andrew's Church, Bo'ness; and the Rev C Peter White, from Sandyford Henderson Memorial Church Glasgow.

The candidates' names will go to the Kirk's Committee to Nominate the Moderator later this month, before a vote to nominate the minister who will be presented as Moderator Designate next May.
