Is the Scottish Episcopal Church a member of the Anglican Communion? If so, I think the article should say so. Michael Hardy 00:43 17 Jul 2003 (UTC)
Yes it is. There's lots that could be said! I would like to go through the list of Provinces and actually make a page for each one. (And the list should really be on Anglican Communion and not just List of Denominations. So my inclination is not to spend a lot of energy on just one, when I plan to make them all according to a standardized format soon enough. --Tb 00:56 17 Jul 2003 (UTC)
I've corrected the number of dioceses to 7 and also made clearer the distinction between who governs the church (General Synod) and who leads it (the College of Bishops). --[KH - 1 Nov 2004]

[edit] Request for cleanup
This article contains a lot of good information, but the introduction is too long and the flow is not good. I shall attempt to see what I can do. Davidkinnen 10:14, 23 October 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Proper name
Isn't it technically "the Episcopal Church of Scotland"?
No. The name used in the canons is the "Scottish Episcopal Church"
[edit] Regional strength
Didn't know where to put this, "especially strong in the North East, and Edinburgh, and historically in the Highlands."
Many prominent North East families were Episcopalian.
Also most of the Jacobite combatants in the 45 appear to have been Episcopalian NOT RC, as is often stated. --MacRusgail 15:41, 30 October 2005 (UTC)
- For info on the latter point, see Jacobitism#England and Scotland: IIRC, sources were The Jacobites, Britain and Europe 1688 — 1788, Daniel Szechi, Manchester University Press 1994 ISBN 0-7190-3774-3 and The Myths of the Jacobite Clans, Murray G. H. Pittock, Edinburgh University Press 1995 ISBN 0-7486-0715-3 ...dave souza, talk 07:21, 23 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] population of scottish episcopal church
I see on the page that there are roughly 124 000 members & 300-odd clergy as of "1900". Are those the most recent statistics? Or is "1900" a mistake - is that as of "2000"?
[edit] What does this mean?
" The official recognition of George III on the death of Charles Edward in 1788, removed the chief bar to progress. The qualified congregations were gradually absorbed, though traces of this ecclesiastical solecism still linger. " I'm sorry, but I don't understand this (which is a problem for an encyclopedia article--it is supposed to be easily understood and explain things instead of confusing people). The link to solecism talks about grammar. Why did the non-jurors recognize George III instead of the Jacobitic heir Henry IX, Cardinal Bishop of Frascati? What were the qualified congregations?--Bhuck 07:52, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
