The Free Church of Scotland has expressed “sorrow” over the “historical sins” of members of the denomination in relation to slavery.
In a statement, it expressed particular “regret” over the receipt of funds linked to slavery as a result of a visit by a Free Church delegation to the US in 1844.
“The Free Church recognises and freely admits the historical sins of members of the denomination in relation to slavery,” it said.
