Scotland's National Church
Scotland's National Church is the Church of Scotland, a Presbyterian denomination that played a central role in Scottish history and culture. It is independent but closely linked to the Scottish government and national identity. The Church emphasizes a theology of grace, community worship, and governance through elected elders. It is non-conformist and distinct from the Roman Catholic Church, though it shares many Christian beliefs. As the national church, it represents a significant spiritual and cultural institution in Scotland, serving its members and engaging in social and community issues across the country.
