Wishart — preaching a charity school benefit — proposes that Christianity’s ultimate purpose is universal love, and that this makes it rather appealing. Some today would dispute every word of that sentence, substitute “evangelism” as the solution to all social ills, and consider the matter closed. Wishart, raising funds to educate poor children, would find that a curious definition of the religion of Jesus.

Contrary to what the national broadcaster would make you believe, The Church of Scotland has not only apologised: it also has set up a Masters scholarship at Edinburgh: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cqlp9ep6q0zo

William Cunningham, co-founder of the Free Church of Scotland, pointed out that while society may imprison or even execute criminals, that hardly justifies slavery. Equating punishment with lifelong bondage is not argument but tidying up a moral mess. The awkward question, then: when we see injustice today, do we merely explain it—or actually help someone escape it?
-
Islay Burns, minister and professor in the Church of Scotland, spoke of prayer with reverent boldness. Prayer, he said, cleanses the soul, restrains the proud, sustains the poor, steadies the persecuted, controls the rich and quells the storm. Such claims offend modern cynicism and partisan instinct alike. Yet prayer is no slogan; it is communion with the living God. Do you truly pray?

Norman Macleod, speaking with the weight of a church moderator, cites a witness who spent eleven years inside American slavery and found it sinful every time—an unhealed wound, cursing both enslaved and enslaver.
Today we bristle less at the injustice than at its exposure. So ask yourself: who bears the hidden cost of the services that carry you along?

Ridiculously excited to get the latest Hawick Archaeological Society Transactions and find an illustrated article on the history of Wilton manses. My second Hawick childhood home is the latest Wilton manse - sold by us to them in 1991. My first Hawick childhood home was near an earlier Wilton manse. #Hawick #Scotland #ScottishBorders #ChurchOfScotland

Crikey. Just spotted that the Edinburgh General Session church records include an Edinburgh weather report for 1815-1820. Very detailed! National Records of Scotland volume CH2/131/2.

Continuing my browse through Cupar Presbytery records, trying to distract myself from the quite horrific crime recorded in 1745. Pleased to be finding Jacobite references in 1716. Reports of local Fife Jacobites. As well as women scandalously dancing late at night with the "highland men" / "Rebels". #Jacobites #Scotland #Fife #ScottishHistory #History #18thCentury #EighteenthCentury #ChurchOfScotland #ChurchCourts #Crime

CW: sexual assault, 18thC Scottish church court records
Cupar Presbytery minutes July 16th 1745 "a scandal of a very gross nature had broke out in the parish of Colessie[sic]". Having followed further I'm seriously shocked! This should not have just been a matter for the church authorities. The accused fled the country. I'm not sure they ever caught him. Beware if you look this up it is disturbing stuff. #ChurchOfScotland #Kirk #Fife #Collessie #Cupar #Crime #SexualAssault #Scotland #ScottishHistory

Just wrote up new research (while doing it!) using the online Melrose Church of Scotland communion rolls to figure out when my Dodds ancestors moved to Melrose in the mid 19th century. https://vivsancestry.wordpress.com/2024/08/19/using-communion-rolls-to-narrow-down-when-dodds-ancestors-moved-to-melrose/ #familyHistory #genealogy #migration #19thCentury #nineteenthCentury #ChurchOfScotland #kirk #communion #CommunionRolls #Melrose #ScottishBorders #Scotland #ScotlandsPeople

Time for genealogical research. First to check the Leeds Catholic registers of baptisms, for my granddad and his siblings (baptised Catholic due to their Irish Mum). Then Scotland, and Melrose, to browse the 19th century communion rolls, and figure out when my maternal ancestors moved into the town. #FamilyHistory #Genealogy #Leeds #Melrose #WestYorkshire #Roxburghshire #ScottishBorders #historicalResearch #Catholic #ChurchOfScotland #Kirk #BaptismRegisters #CommunionRolls #Ireland #Migration

And when I got to a sentence in 1747 of #excommunication for #incest I have to say I expected a closer relationship than "She being his Grand Uncle's Wife"! #ScottishBorders #Genealogy #FamilyHistory #Morality #Immorality #18thCentury #EighteenthCentury #ChurchOfScotland

Urgh; just heard that the #ChurchOfScotland church that my mum goes to is probably going independent because "... the latest announcements from Edinburgh have finally tipped the balance ...". I suspect that means that the CoS isn't hating hard enough on #lgbtq folks for them, so aligning with the Free Kirk is what they want.
And I am sad now.

Simon Jenkins on the need to make church buildings into community buildings as church attendance declines. Although not an easy task since as he highlights here 75% of #ChurchOfEngland buildings are listed, an issue the #ChurchOfScotland is grappling with in the current review of their estate.
