The Very Reverend Sally Foster-Fulton is originally from South Carolina in the United States, but has made Scotland her home for over 30 years. She currently works as Christian Aid’s UK and Global Church Ambassador, supporting denominations to strengthen and reaffirm their partnership with Christian Aid and its work, developing and sharing worship resources and forging closer relations between local and global partners.
She joined Christian Aid in 2016, and in 2023 took a year’s sabbatical from her position as Head of Christian Aid Scotland to be Moderator of the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland.
Before joining Christian Aid, Sally convened the Church and Society Council and helped advance the Church’s work on human rights, climate justice and support for people struggling to overcome poverty in Scotland as well as overseas.
Sally’s roots are in the parish ministry, where she has served as minister of Camelon Irving Parish church, associate minister at Dunblane Cathedral and chaplain at Falkirk and District Royal Infirmary and The Royal National Scottish Hospital in Larbert. Sally is the author of three books: ‘Hope was Heard Singing’, ‘Dancing in the Desert and Step Gently in the World’.
