| | The Scottish Episcopal Church |
| | During the period of the Scottish Reformation, from 1560 until 1690, the form of government of the Scottish Church alternated between episcopacy (government by Bishops) and Presbyterianism (government by presbyteries), with, at times, a combination between the two forms, Bishops acting as permanent, moderators of presbyteries. | | | In 1689, the Scottish Parliament passed an Act abolishing prelacy and restoring Presbyterianism: they ignored, however, a request for the con-vening of a General Assembly of the Church - no doubt because, at that time, the Episcopalian clergy would have outvoted the Presbyterians by about six to one. | | | Not surprisingly, William gave his support to the Presbyterian party within the Church of Scotland, who were willing to accept him and his wife, Mary, as joint sovereigns. |

| | History of the Scottish Episcopal Church |
| | After the Reformation the national church vacillated between Episcopalianism and Presbyterianism for over a century before finally declaring Scotland Presbyterian, with the Church of Scotland receiving all church buildings and assets. | | | Hence in Scotland the parish church is Church of Scotland (there is no equivalent Episcopal parish structure), and away from the cities Episcopal churches are few and far between. | | | Autonomous and disestablished, its roots are found in the pre-Reformation church in Scotland. |

| | In their statement the Scottish bishops said they "had never regarded the fact that someone was in a close relationship with a member of the same sex as in itself constituting a bar to the exercise of an ordained ministry". | | | The Scottish Primus, Bishop Bruce Cameron, defended the statement, saying that though it did not conform to the 1998 Lambeth Conference, it was an honest description of his Church's position. | | | In a move that dismayed conservatives, the College of Bishops of the Scottish Episcopal Church also said it was happy for clergy privately to bless gay relationships. |

| | And yet the "English Episcopal", who were under no bishop, as their enemies delighted to note, and were not supported by the Church of England, might have been a threat. | | | The probable answer to this question is that the Scottish Episcopal Church was a tradition in a wider body, whether that wider body was Scottish Christianity or Anglicanism, and thus did not have the full range of types of churchmanship which might otherwise have developed. | | | Few of these would have attached themselves to churches which were hostile to the only form of Anglicanism which the Church of England recognised in Scotland. |
