Church in society

Church of Scotland emblem

INTRODUCTION

Welcome to the Church in society pages from the Church of Scotland website where we offer an overview of the role the Church takes in Scottish and international life.

The Make Povery History march passes by the Assembly Hall in Edinburgh
Make Poverty History march in 2005
In this section you can find out more about the areas that we're involved in - from the Fairtrade campaign to asylum seekers to the Make Poverty History campaign which put Scotland on the international stage in 2005 during the G8 meeting in Gleneagles.
Tied into these issues is our parliamentary office, an ecumenical post which gives the Church of Scotland a strong voice in UK and Scottish politics.

As a presbyterian organisation, the Church of Scotland has a range of views on any one issue. Where consensus has been reached at a General Assembly, or a collective view is put forward by one of our councils or committees, it will be included in our life events ethics section.

To find out about the central department with a remit for society issues, such as parliamentary affairs, racial justice and moral issues, read more about the Church and Society Council.
