AS longer and warmer days begin, the Church of Scotland gathers in Edinburgh this month (May) for the annual General Assembly.
Hundreds of commissioners – both ministers and elders – are drawn from presbyteries and congregations across Scotland (and the Church’s overseas presbyteries and presbytery of England). The future structures of our Church is the big ticket item up for discussion this year. A radical action plan will be presented to the Assembly, following last year’s overwhelming rejection of a long-term plan for the Church. A special commission, chaired by the Rev Professor David Fergusson is expected to offer proposals for an overhaul of structures and a new direction of travel for our Church.
