Long Service Certificates
Application for long service certificates can be made in writing to the Principal Clerk, Church of Scotland, 121 George Street, Edinburgh. gwhyte@churchofscotland.org.uk. The letter/ email should be from the session clerk or minister and should state the period of service (this should be expressed as years of active service (minimum 30) – not simply anniversary of ordination). A certificate signed by the Moderator will be forwarded to you for presentation. (Previously, Long service certificates could only ever be issued once, but a recent change now permits further issues on completion of each additional 10 years of service.)
