Church of Scotland's first female moderator:

• Church of Scotland's first woman moderator signals she will be open to reform | Alison Elliot, the first female moderator-designate, will not don the traditional knickerbocker outfit favoured by the men who have preceded her (The Herald, Glasgow, Scotland)
  
  
• Female Moderator makes history (The Scotsman)
  
  
• Piercing the stained glass ceiling | The only extraordinary aspect about the moderator of the General Assemby of the Church of Scotland being a woman—at last—is that her gender is considered significant a full 35 years after the assembly agreed that women could be ministers "on the same terms and conditions as are at present applicable to men." (Jennifer Cunningham, The Herald, Glasgow, Scotland)
