The Code of Canons

The legal framework of the Scottish Episcopal Church is set out in the Code of Canons.

Canon 52 ('Of the General Synod') authorises the General Synod to pass resolutions to provide for the implementation of the Canons, for the regulation of the Synod's own procedure and for the regulation of all matters of property, finance and general administration throughout the Church; these are contained in the Digest of Resolutions.

The Code of Canons, together with the Digest of Resolutions of the General Synod, is issued in a ring-binder, and additions are sent out to registered holders of copies of the Code each year following the meetings of the General Synod.

The Code of Canons is available for download in PDF format from the Code of Canons page in the Publications section.
