Scottish Worship: The Heritage of the Past and the Needs of the Present

Gordon Donaldson Esq, MA, Ph D, D Litt, Reader in Scottish History and Paleography in the University of Edinburgh

Gordon Donaldson contrasts the heritage of worship between the Church of Scotland and the Scottish Episcopal Church, arguing that both churches should work together more and so gain a better solution of problems in worship. He encourages the forging of a closer understanding of each other, thus working towards the ultimate objective of unity. The service of Holy Communion in both traditions is discussed and he looks for areas of potential agreement between the substance of the two liturgies.
