Code of Canons

The Code of Canons provides the legal framework for the Scottish Episcopal Church. The Code is a living document and Canons can be edited, added or removed annually at the General Synod.

The General Synod can also pass resolutions to provide for operation of the Canons and internal regulation. These resolutions are contained within the Digest of Resolutions.
