Re: Church of Scotland
Donald Young
Hi Glynn;
In Great Britain, the state recognizes or favours one denomination as the
established church. In England, the Anglican Church is the recognized
church and becomes known as the Church of England. In Scotland, the government
recognized the Presbyterian Church as the favoured denomination, and so it was
styled the Church of Scotland. This recognition goes back several centuries when
England and Scotland were separate, but what impact the distinction has today I
don’t know. The Queen does have ties to the Church of England.
Hope this helps somewhat.

Happy Hogmanay,
I wonder if anyone can explain the relationship between the Church of
Scotland and the Presbyterian Church and the Church of England. I am having
difficulty understanding some of the things I am reading.
