450th Anniversarie O the First Reformed Celebration O the Lord's Sipper i Scotland

The enlarged Calder House,
incorporating that of Knox's time

The range of resources to commemorate this special anniversary have been provided by the Scots Language Working Group and the Gaelic Group of the Office for Worship and Doctrine. Included is the order for the Lord's Supper from the Book of Common Order introduced to Scotland from Geneva in 1560 and prescribed by the General Assemblies of 1562 and 1564. It came to be known at Knox's Liturgy. John Carswell (1525 to 1572), minister of Kilmartin and superintendent of Argyll, translated it into Gaelic at his home, Carnasserie Castle.
