Union

There was a congregational meeting on Wednesday 13th December which representatives of Presbytery attended to vote again on whether or not to accept the Basis of Union.  This was because the initial 4 way union would not go ahead and a new 3 - way union was proposed.  Members of Kirkgate, North Parish and Park were present.

 

Kirkgate and North Parish voted to accept the Basis of Union however Ardrossan Park did not.   Park voted against approving the basis of union by 27 votes to 13, and rejected Nigel Chikanya as minister and moderator of the Kirk Session by 27 votes to 12.

​

This means that the original Mission Plan cannot be implemented as it stands. No union will be implemented (yet).

​

The Convener of the Planning Implementation has said that the committee will be discussing and prayerfully considering the next steps.  They will be visiting Park congregation again some time at the beginning of 2024 for discussion with the congregation.  As yet we do not have a firm date for this to happen.

​

Voting against the Union document is not straightforward and does not necessarily mean that Park will be able to call a minister.   For now the status quo will therefore remain and we will continue as we have before with Alan Ward as our Interim Moderator and Marion Howie as our Locum.
