The Bishops of Scotland warmly congratulate Bishop Richard Moth on his appointment as Archbishop-elect of Westminster.

Bishop Moth brings to this new ministry considerable experience, shaped by his service as Bishop of the Armed Forces and as Bishop of Arundel and Brighton, offered with generosity, wisdom, and pastoral care.

As he prepares to take up this important pastoral office, we assure him of our prayers and look forward to working alongside him in the service of the Gospel across these islands.

We also express our heartfelt gratitude to Cardinal Vincent Nichols for his friendship and for his years of faithful and devoted leadership of the Archdiocese of Westminster, marked by humility, wisdom, and a deep love for the People of God.

Bishop John Keenan
President of the Bishops’ Conference of Scotland
