| | Church of Scotland - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The Church of Scotland is a member of the World Council of Churches and the Conference of European Churches. | | | Although it is the national church, the Kirk is not a "state church", and in this, and other, regards is dissimilar to the Church of England (the established church in England). | | | The Church of Scotland (CofS sometimes known as the Kirk) is the national church of Scotland. |

| | Free Church of Scotland - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | The Free Church of Scotland (1843-1900) was a Scottish denomination formed by the withdrawal of a large section of the established Church of Scotland in a schism known as the Disruption of 1843. | | | In 1900, the Free Church of Scotland united with the United Presbyterian Church of Scotland to form the United Free Church of Scotland, which in turn re-united with the Church of Scotland in 1929. | | | The Free Church was formed by the Evangelicals who broke from the Church of Scotland in 1843 protest against what they regarded as the state's encroachment on the spiritual independence of the Church. |

| | In 1893 the Free Church itself was split again and the seceders formed the Free Presbyterian Church of Scotland. | | | In 1900 the Free Church of Scotland and the United Presbyterian Church joined to form the United Free Church of Scotland. | | | The creation of the Free Church of Scotland in 1843 was similar to the conflicts between Christianity and liberalism that took place later on in the Netherlands and in the United States resulting in the creation of the Gereformeerde Kerken der Nederlanden (GKN) and the Presbyterian Church of America. |

| | CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Established Church of Scotland |
| | The Established Church of Scotland maintains that her system of government, by kirk-sessions, presbyteries, synods, and the General Assembly, is "agreeable to the Word of God and acceptable to the people"; but she does not claim for it exclusively the Divine sanction and authority. | | | The Union of England and Scotland into one kingdom in 1707, a measure unpopular with the great body of the Scottish nation, was resisted by many Presbyterians, through fear of the effect on their Church of a closer connection with a kingdom where Prelacy was legally established. | | | The number of ecclesiastical parishes in Scotland (1911) is 1441; of chapels, 80; of mission stations, 170; total, 1691; and the increase of church sitting since 1880 is stated to be 196,000. |

| | However the predominant church in Scotland was the Church of Scotland, and in many places the men who occupied the pulpit were not at all interested in the specifics of Bible teaching. | | | This church was built in 1844 by the people of the Glen. | | | That is to say that the civil authorities were intruding into the spiritual life of the church. |

| | Although from this time the Church of Scotland was truly the established church it was the relation between church and state that was to lead to secession and Disruption in later years. | | | This church is not established but is part of the world-wide Anglican Communion and would consider itself the true representative of the medieval church, and teacher of the Catholic Faith. | | | This church was marked by an especial zeal for foreign missions and constant opposition to all state aid to the the church on the grounds that this necessarily led to state control. |
