Council of Assembly

Church of Scotland emblem

INTRODUCION

Welcome to the Council of Assembly pages.

History

The Council of Assembly was set up by the General Assembly of 2004. Its establishment fulfils a hope, expressed in the Church without Walls report, for the creation of an executive function in setting priorities among the boards and committees of the Church in line with agreed strategy.

The council has the authority to take necessary administrative decisions between General Assemblies, to co-ordinate the work of the Church’s central administration and to take decisions with regard to resources, finances and staffing. For more information on our remit, click here or use the links on the right hand side.

Reorganisation

The first task given to the council was to implement the reorganisation of the Church's central structure, approved by the General Assembly of 2004. Since 1 June 2005, the work of the previous boards and committees is now undertaken through six councils as follows.

There are also a number of associate committees and departments such as the Ecumenical Relations Committee and the Guild. For a full list of the Church's councils, committees and departments, click here.
