Church of Scotland

Cardonald Parish Church is a congregation of the Church of Scotland, a Presbyterian denomination within the family of Reformed churches. The Church of Scotland is part of the World Alliance of Reformed Churches and of the World Council of Churches.

The Kirk's emblem is the Burning Bush from which Moses heard the voice of God.

The motto of the Kirk is nec tamen consumebatur, which means "yet without being consumed."

 

 


Glasgow Presbytery

The Presbytery of Glasgow is one of 49 middle-ranking Church of Scotland courts, made up of ministers, elders and deacons. Glasgow is the largest presbytery in the world: within its geographical boundary, which covers the conurbation of Glasgow and some rural areas in its vicinty, there are 147 ministerial charges. Some charges consist of more than one congregation.

The Church of Scotland (CofS, known informally as The Kirk, Eaglais na h-Alba in Scottish Gaelic) is the national church of Scotland. It is a Presbyterian church, decisively shaped by the Scottish Reformation.

The Church of Scotland traces its roots back to the beginnings of Christianity in Scotland, but its identity is principally shaped by the Scottish Reformation of 1560. Its current membership is about 12% of the Scottish population - although many more Scots and descendants of Scots in other countries claim some form of allegiance to it.

He enabled the Church of Scotland to establish their initial presence on the web. Now, he has set up an independent site which complements the official website of the Church.
