Excerpt from The Future of the Church in Scotland: A Paper Read at a Conference of the Scottish Episcopal Church at Aberdeen on the 9th of October 1894
I understand, from a speech delivered by Dr John macleod of Govan, at Burnbank, Hamil ton, - reported in the Glasgow Herald of October 19, - and from other criticisms, that an allusion in the paper to the possibility of Disestablishment has been much misunderstood. As it was in no sense vital to the argument, I have now omitted it. I find my meaning well expressed by Dr Leishman in his opening address to the Confer ence of the Scottish Church Society, at Glasgow, in November 1893. There was a threat of assailing the Church for the purpose of sever ing her alliance with the State. For themselves for her defence, they looked to her foundations, and found that these did not rest only on modern acts of legislation and ancient assignments of property. This looking to the foundations of the Church is the mark of what I cannot but regard as a real Catholic revival in the Established Church.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the state of religious life in Scotland, especially the relationship between the Episcopal Church and the Established Presbyterian Church. The author, a member of the Episcopal Church, proposes that a renewed emphasis on Catholic doctrine and practice could bridge the gap between the two churches and ultimately lead to a united, national church in Scotland. He outlines the historical roots of Presbyterianism and Episcopalianism in the country and points to a recent resurgence of Catholic sentiment within the Presbyterian Church as evidence of a potential path toward reconciliation. The author urges both sides to approach the issue with tact, patience, and a genuine desire for common ground. He emphasizes the need for a clear and comprehensive vision of a future united church that incorporates the strengths of both traditions, including the national character of the Presbyterian Church and the Catholic order and heritage of the Episcopal Church.
