For those unable to attend yesterday, I can confirm that we as a congregation voted to put forward Rev. Paul Clarke's name to the Free Church Home Missions Board and to Edinburgh Presbytery as preferred candidate for the role of pastor of St Andrews Free Church.
Votes cast (including those by email) were as follows:
Members - 18 for; 9 against.
Adherents - 26 for; 7 against.
Total = 44:16
Since the Interim Moderator, Rev. David Robertson, indicated that he wished to see a clear majority in favour before proceeding, the small number of returned ballot papers not indicating either 'yes' or 'no', were by default counted as votes against.
