<p>Under the current Immigration Rules there are two routes available for non-EU nationals.
The first, Tier 2 Ministers of Religion, is for those playing a leading role as faith
leaders in our religious institutions. The second route, Tier 5 Religious Workers,
is for those undertaking non-pastoral roles supporting the activities of these institutions.
Our intention is to continue to attract those who bring a range of skills, including
those who make valuable contributions to the enjoyment of faith and community across
the UK.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p>Late last year I met Archbishop Philip Tartaglia,
the Metropolitan Archbishop of Glasgow and President of the Bishops’ Conference, and
discussed a number of issues with him, including the UK’s forthcoming exit from the
European Union. Since then the Government has published its White Paper on the future
immigration system, and I fully expect the Roman Catholic Church in Scotland will
wish to engage with the Home Office on its particular circumstances and requirements.</p><p>
