CT letters: Church of Scotland has to make tough decisions as congregations fall
There was also a comment in an article of 4th April 2023 in the Glasgow Times confirming previous reports that poor areas are worst affected by clergy-cutting and the withdrawal of church social care.
The report includes this comment:
‘The Church of Scotland has already closed a number of churches under a “prune for growth” strategy, which it said had led to it losing a third of its membership who refused to go elsewhere.’
Is the Church of Scotland continuing to drive its own decline?
