Model constitutions for Single and Joint incumbencies, and the Memorandum for Linked Charges.
a) Model Constitution for a Single Incumbency
Uploaded 2 December 2008
The Provincial Standing Committee has approved a new style of Model Constitution for Incumbencies. The new Model largely follows the format of the edition issued in the year 2000 but incorporates significant new material compliant with the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005. It has been reviewed by the Office of the Scottish Charity Regulator who has confirmed that a charge adopting the new Model would have charitable purposes and would pass the relevant parts of the charity test under the Charities Act.
The new Model will also be of relevance to independent congregations which will become incumbencies in the future as a result of changes to Canon 36 adopted by General Synod in June 2008.
