Visions and Authorities

Marjory MacLean, a former Depute Clerk of the Church of Scotland's General Assembly, addresses three burning questions:

What has gone so wrong in the Church of Scotland's enormous decisions of recent years?

How should an organisation like the Church discern God's will and our denomination's purpose?

How can ministers, elders, leaders and members play their parts in that process of discerning the way ahead?

This volume, born out of a recent course at New College, Edinburgh, includes the lecture texts from the course, the contributions of four other contributors to the course, and lots of illustrative material from Dr MacLean's previous writing. It can easily be read by anyone with a passion for the Church, whether or not they attended the original course in autumn 2023.
