Scottish Catholic and Episcopalian Church Relations

This year, we're celebrating the first anniversary of the St Ninian Declaration, a groundbreaking moment of friendship between these two communities. Expect a day filled with insightful presentations from esteemed speakers, including Professor Charlotte Methuen and Dr Clare Loughlin, who will explore topics ranging from early tensions in the 18th century to the ecumenical strides of the modern era. Whether you're a historian, clergy member, student, or just curious about Scottish religious history, there’s something here for everyone. Plus, lunch is on us!
