The Scottish Parish System - Seen As Incarnational: a Study of the Parish System Which Underlies the Church of Scotland David Donaldson

The Church of Scotland is founded on her having a territorial ministry in Scotland. This means that the Church of Scotland covers the whole of Scotland, in terms of mission and service. The purpose of this book is to seek to theologically justify the Scottish Parish System, and to celebrate the fact that the Church of Scotland is embedded in Scottish society, and so relates alike to members and non- members of the Church. The study of this book is centred on a real congregation, and on its Kirk Session in particular. The discussion recorded from a Kirk Session meeting is deeply theological, and is imbued with Christian love. The opinions and beliefs expressed by everyone involved in this study are worth listening to, and are authentic voices from faithful members of the Church of Scotland which deserve to be heard. This book is for everyone who would learn more of the incarnational ministry of the Church of Scotland.
