	Scottish Episcopal Church - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography
		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.

	The Scottish Episcopal Church
		The Scottish Episcopal Church is the representative of the Anglican Communion in Scotland.
		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 Roots of the Episcopal Church, Scotland - UK History

		Episcopal Chapels were closed, clergy imprisoned, and the Church was forced to go “underground”, much like their Covenanting Presbyterian counterparts in the 1600’s.
		Adopted in 1940 by the General Convention of the Episcopal Church, the shield is: Argent, a cross gules, on a canton azure nine cross-crosslets argent in saltire.

	The Scottish Episcopal Church (Site not responding. Last check: )
		During the period of the Scottish Reformation, from 1560 until 1690, the form of government of the Scottish Church alternated between episcopacy (government by Bishops) and Presbyterianism (government by presbyteries), with, at times, a combination between the two forms, Bishops acting as permanent, moderators of presbyteries.
		In 1689, the Scottish Parliament passed an Act abolishing prelacy and restoring Presbyterianism: they ignored, however, a request for the con-vening of a General Assembly of the Church - no doubt because, at that time, the Episcopalian clergy would have outvoted the Presbyterians by about six to one.
		The surviving Scottish Bishops started negotiations with the Government to sue for repeal of the Penal Laws, and this repeal was enacted in 1792.

	St Cuthbert's Scottish Episcopal Church, Colinton, Edinburgh
		The Church grew out of the Mission to Colinton, which was founded in 1883 to serve a community which had been growing rapidly since the arrival of the railway; work on a church building began in 1888, and the building was finally consecrated and the first Rector appointed in 1893.
		The church celebrated its centenary in 1989, and along with the rest of the Scottish Episcopal Church, looks forward to the new century with faith and hope, if with very little idea of what the future may bring.
		The Church Hall was added in 1926; and the extension of the 1930s, which lengthened the nave and added the choir vestry, was funded by a combination of subscription, loans and a grant from the Walker Trust.

	10 - 'English Episcopal'
		If the Scottish Episcopal Church was over-fearful of the Qualified chapels in the period before 1804 and their gradual acceptance of the Scottish bishops, it was equally over-fearful of the handful of "English Episcopal" chapels which arose in the nineteenth century.
		And yet the "English Episcopal", who were under no bishop, as their enemies delighted to note, and were not supported by the Church of England, might have been a threat.
		The probable answer to this question is that the Scottish Episcopal Church was a tradition in a wider body, whether that wider body was Scottish Christianity or Anglicanism, and thus did not have the full range of types of churchmanship which might otherwise have developed.
