This book provides a history of the historic 1804 'Synod of Laurencekirk'. From the foreword by the Most Rev Bruce Cameron, former Primus of the Scottish Episcopal Church:
"Those who have to sit through or chair Synods of Councils of the church may well wonder at times if the mission of the church is really progressed by such gatherings! Yet there have been moments through the history of the Christian Church when a Council or Synod has found itself taking decisions that were to change significantly the life of that Church.
"The Convention known as the 'Synod of Laurencekirk' in 1804 can rightly takes its place among such gatherings. It brought together the two 'Episcopal' churches in Scotland of that time and created a united church prepared for the mission that was to see it grow significantly through the nineteenth century. As Bishop Luscombe, in this excellent and readable book, concludes, the Scottish Episcopal Church after 1804 was 'organised and strong, full of honour and confidence, facing the future with courage and hope'."
