Four licensed at M’Cheyne’s church

Four ministers have been licensed by the Free Church of Scotland, at a service at Dundee’s historic St Peter’s Church - the congregation founded by Robert Murray M’Cheyne.

Licensing in the Presbyterian church is where a student graduates to become a probationer minister and can then be called to a congregation by the local presbytery for ordination. The four ministers - Donald Smith, Matty Guy, Angus Macleod and James Murray – were licensed by the Presbytery of Edinburgh and Perth.

There are currently 100 Free Church of Scotland congregations across Scotland, with 23 ministry candidates at various stages.
