About the Church in Society Committee

The Church in Society Committee believes:

  • that the Scottish Episcopal Church is a diverse community of Christian people within our local society, our Scottish nation, and our global community.
  • that through 'spiritual activism' we will address at least a few of the major issues facing our Scottish society in the 21st Century.
  • that our role is one of being an advocate for positive and constructive change on issues where there is currently inherent injustice including advocating that government policy and service provision should respect and foster the potential of each individual.
  • that we enhance our role ecumenically and as an inter-faith partner, working together to promote positive change in the relationships within our Scottish -- and global community.

Please see Priorities for details of the issues we are focussing on in 2009. Our Justice, Peace & Creation section offers links to a wide range of online organisations and resources related to the work of the Committee.
