	Scottish Episcopal Church - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Unlike the Church of England, the bishops of the Scottish Episcopal Church are elected.
		Its dean (similar to an archdeacon in the Church of England) is appointed by the bishop, and, on the voidance of the see, summons the diocesan synod, at the instance of the primus, to choose a bishop.
		On the refusal of the bishops to recognize William III (1689), the presbyterian polity was finally re-established in the Church of Scotland.

	Episcopal Church of Scotland - LoveToKnow 1911 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		EPISCOPAL CHURCH OF SCOTLAND, a Scottish church (see above) in communion with, but historically distinct from, the Church of England, and composed of seven dioceses: Aberdeen and Orkney; Argyll and the Isles; Brechin; Edinburgh; Glasgow and Galloway; Moray, Ross and Caithness; and St Andrews, Dunkeld and Dunblane.
		Its dean is appointed by the bishop, and, on the voidance of the see, summons the clerical and lay electors, at the instance of the primus, to choose a bishop, who is presented to the episcopal synod for confirmation and to the primus for consecration.
		But at length the hopelessness of the Stewart cause and the growth of congregations outside the establishment forced the bishops to dissociate canonical jurisdiction from royal prerogative and to reconstitute for themselves a territorial episcopate.

		The Church of Scotland has drifted far from its original Reformed position, despite its continuing claims to be "reformed and reforming", and in some departments of its work it has become a grossly deformed version of what it was in its better days.

	St James the Less Episcopal Church, Bishopbriggs, Glasgow, Scotland
		In the case of St James this was mitigated by those of an Anglican church background moving into the rapidly expanding Bishopbriggs and bringing new life to the Springburn congregation.
		By 1974, plans for the Springburn by-pass coincided with major repair work being needed to the church building and this led to the decision that the church would have to be demolished and rebuilt.
		The decision was taken to rebuild in Bishopbriggs rather than Springburn and the new church, designed by Weddell and Thomson of Glasgow, was begun in the summer of 1979 and dedicated on 20th September 1980.

	The Scottish Book of Common Prayer (1912)
		It is the result of a history in the Scottish Church of struggles throughout the 16th and 17th centuries between congregational and episcopal forms of liturgy and government.
		This Church, while closely related to the Church of England in liturgical, structural, and many other ways, nevertheless was often at odds with the English government, as may be seen in the history of one of its parishes, Old St. Paul's in Edinburgh.
		The Scottish Episcopal Church is important to the history of the Episcopal Church in the U. S., as its independent nature allowed the consecration of the first Episcopal bishop, Samuel Seabury, in 1784, without his having to swear allegiance to the British crown.

		The American Episcopal Church being the first province to exist entirely separate the British Isles, from the Church of England, its hierarchy, and the British monarch who was and is the head of the Church of England.
		The Church of England was meant, as the established Church, the Church of the English People and their monarch, to be the church of all the English.
		Concurrently the Episcopal Church which had grown to a quite satisfactory size was overtaken by a sense of comfort and place which meant that the evangelical and missionary spirit of previous decades was not deemed as important or definitive of Episcopal life in America.

	Reasons for Withdrawing from the Scottish Episcopal Church, by D.T.K. Drummond (1842)
		With such sentiments as these I joined the Episcopal Church of Scotland ten years ago, when no barrier existed in its Canon Law against the free exercise of my ministry; nor was there any interference on the part of those in authority in that Church.
		The Church of England and the Episcopal Church of Scotland are two distinct Communions, however the advocates for the latter may strive to shew that there has been of late years an advance between the two Churches to a closer relationship than before.
