Scotland's new First Minister has appointed two Christians to her first cabinet.
Nicola Sturgeon has made changes to the government after taking over from Alex Salmond who resigned last week.
Roseanna Cunningham and Michael Matheson, both Catholics, have both been promoted into the Scottish cabinet.
Mrs Cunningham has been given the work, skills and training brief whilst Mr Matheson takes over from Kenny MacAskill as Justice Secretary.
Revealing her Cabinet Ms Sturgeon said: "This new Cabinet is a team of all the talents, which will take forward this Government's priorities for Scotland.
"The aims of my Government are clear: to create a nation that is both socially democratic and socially just, a nation that is confident in itself and governed effectively and a nation which will address poverty, support business, promote growth and tackle inequality.
"The new Cabinet team I have announced today will pursue these priorities with verve, vigour and determination."
A Monthly Gift Of $11 Makes A World Of Difference
In a world of fake news there’s never been a greater need for quality Christian journalism. Premier’s mission is to provide the Church with the most up to date and relevant news, told from a Christian perspective. But we can’t do it without you.
Unlike many websites we haven't put up a paywall — we want to keep our journalism free at the point of need and as open as we can. Premier’s news output takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. No one in the USA is sharing news like we are across radio, magazines and online so please help us to continue that today.
For a monthly gift of $11 or more we’d also be able to send you a free copy of the brand new Premier Bible, a wonderful Anglicised version of the NLT packed with exclusive bonus content, reading plan and resources to help you get the most out of scripture.
Your monthly support will make a world of difference. Thank you.
