Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II
The Archbishop of Canterbury
“Through times of war and hardship, through seasons of upheaval and change, and through moments of joy and celebration, we have been sustained by Her Late Majesty’s faith in what and who we are called to be.”
“In The Late Queen’s life, we saw what it means to receive the gift of life we have been given by God and – through patient, humble, selfless service – share it as a gift to others.”
The Primus of the Scottish Episcopal Church
“Queen Elizabeth was steadfast in her faith, in her prayers and worship. She spoke openly and often of her devotion to God, and to the Christian message of respect and the value of people, of all faiths and none.
“Here in Scotland we know that the Queen found space to relax and to be amongst family and friends, we cherish the knowledge that she loved this place as much as we do. That knowledge brought a shared connection that many of us felt deeply.”
The Bishop of Glasgow & Galloway
“Duty is that facet of God’s love which is revealed when the glamour and the novelty of public life cease to make headlines. Queen Elizabeth’s dedication to duty was based upon deep personal faith in God, prayer and worship.”
The Moderator of the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland
“The faith, service and dedication of Her Majesty the Queen have been the hallmark of her long reign. She has been the steady constant in the life of our nation for over seven decades and most of us will have grown up knowing only her as our monarch.”
The Moderator remembers his final visit to The Queen at Balmoral
The Roman Catholic Bishops
“Her determination to remain active to the end of her long life, has been an example of Christian leadership, which demonstrated her great stoicism and commitment to duty and was undoubtedly a source of stability and continuity in times of great change.”
