	FREE CHURCH OF SCOTLAND - LoveToKnow Article on FREE CHURCH OF SCOTLAND (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		From the Free Church point of view, the period from which the secessions under Ebenezer Erskine and Thomas Gillespie are dated was also characterized by numerous other abuses on the Churchs part which amounted to a practical surrender of the most important and distinctive principles of her ancient Presbyterian polity.
		The Free Church always regarded herself as a National Church, and during this period she sought actively to be true to that character by providing church ordinances for the increasing population of Scotland and applying herself to the new problems of non-church-going, and of the changing habits of the people.
		The church met with no sympathy or assistance at the hands of the United Free Church, and her work was conducted at first under considerable hardships, nor was her position one to appeal to the general popular sentiment of Scotland.

	Free Church of Scotland - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Free Church of Scotland (1843-1900) was a Scottish denomination formed by the withdrawal of a large section of the established Church of Scotland in a schism known as the Disruption of 1843.
		The Free Church was formed by the Evangelicals who broke from the Church of Scotland in 1843 protest against what they regarded as the state's encroachment on the spiritual independence of the Church.
		Free churchmen were at the forefront of the 1859 Revival, and the Moody and Sankey campaign of 1873-5.

		The Free Church brought into the union 1077 congregations, the United Presbyterians 599; the revenue of the former amounted to 706,546, of the latter to f361,743.
		The Free Church could not refuse to consent to this, and in December a commission was appointed, consisting of Lord Elgin, Lord Kinnear and Sir Ralph Anstruther, to inquire into matters connected with the two churches, while the question of interim possession was referred to Sir John Cheyne, as commissioner, for inquiry and action.
		They had concluded however that the Free Church was unable in many respects to carry out the purposes of the trusts, which, under: the verdict of the House of Lords, was a condition of their holding the property, and that there was a case for parliamentary interference.

	THE FREE CHURCH OF SCOTLAND
		The church was destroyed by fire in 1956 and rebuilt shortly after on a much smaller scale.
		However the predominant church in Scotland was the Church of Scotland, and in many places the men who occupied the pulpit were not at all interested in the specifics of Bible teaching.
		Going further back in history, when the Church of Scotland came into being after the Reformation (around 1560), a vital part of its constitution involved the recognition that the congregation choose their own minister (nowadays we would simply call this democracy).

		The Free Church of Scotland was formed in 1843, and separated from the Church of Scotland that year.
		The leaders of the evangelical movement in the Church of Scotland regarded this as an unwarranted interference on the part of the State in the affairs of the Church.
		They understood the historic position of the Presbyterian Church in Scotland to be that the Church and State were independent in their own spheres, and ought not to interfere in each other's affairs, but help one another for the Christian good of Scotland.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Free Church of Scotland
		She claimed to represent the Presbyterian Church of the country enjoying its full spiritual independence, and freed from the undue encroachment of the State; but it did not abandon the principle of establishment, or give up the view that the Church and State ought to be in intimate alliance.
		A small minority of Free Churchmen resisted the fusion of the two bodies, and these (the "Wee Frees", as they were nicknamed) were successful in the Scottish Courts in claiming, as the original Free Church, nearly all the buildings erected by the body in the previous fifty seven years.
		The "Higher Criticism" of the Free Church of today, largely based as it is on the rationalizationing influence of German Protestant theology, goes far beyond the "heresies and errors" for which Smith indicted thirty years ago.

		When we say that the Church is 'Established' what is implied is that by an act of parliament it is declared to be the National Church that it is intimately connected with the state and in virtue of the state connection enjoys a privileged position.
		This was the 'Disruption' associated with Thomas Chalmers and led to the formation of the Free Church.
		Autonomy: Historically the United Free Church of Scotland has consistently been opposed to State Establishment of religion, believing it to be a hindrance to the welfare and witness of the Church of Jesus Christ.

	Frederick Douglass, The Free Church of Scotland and American Slavery
		Douglass continued by referring to the Free Church taking the slave money, and saying that their very members, when they looked up to their meeting-houses and reflected that they were built with the price of blood, would yet compel their clergy to send back the blood stained money.
		Douglass then referred to the argument of the Free Church that the slaves were favoured with religious instruction, and said he would give them a sketch of a sermon which he had often heard preached.
		He pourtrayed in a happy and sarcastic style the encouragement afforded by the countenance of the Free Church to these American slaveholders; and contrasted with it the very different conduct of the celebrated John Wesley and others, of whom he spoke in warm and grateful terms for their labours on behalf of the slave.

		In 1892 the Free Church of Scotland, following the example of the United Presbyterian Church of Scotland and the Church of Scotland (1889), passed a Declaratory Act relaxing the stringency of subscription to the confession, which was widely perceived as paving the way for unification with the United Presbyterian Church.
