The Church and Society Council's remit is to engage on behalf of the Church in the national, political and social issues affecting Scotland and the world today.
It aims to do this through the development of theological, ethical and spiritual perspectives when formulating policy and by effectively representing the Church by offering appropriate and informed comments.
The council is also charged with building, establishing and maintaining a series of networks and relationships with leaders and key people in society and engaging in longer-term dialogue and the exchange of ideas with them.
The Council runs a number of topical events / courses. You can find out more by reading the Council’s newsletter.
It presented a number of Reports to the 2011 General Assembly, a selection of which can be located here. The full set is published
on the Church or Scotland website.
To encourage discussion of the issues raised in one of these Reports,
One Scotland, Many Cultures,
the Council has prepared a Discussions Starter Leaflet and a Study Guide. You’ll find copies here.
