Letter: Not our church

Alistair McBay (Letters, 13 July) refers to the Church of England as "our established church". Whoever "we" are it is certainly not Scotland's established church.

Given Mr McBay's negative comments about the Pope I am glad that the Church of Scotland and Church of England both welcomed the Pope to these islands. As a member of the Scottish Episcopal Church I was happy to be in the pipe band which played for the Pope in Princes Street on 16 September, 2010.

That band included members of several Christian denominations and of none. All were welcoming an honoured and friendly visitor.
