On March 26, 1707, the Kingdom of Scotland merged with the Kingdom of England to form the Kingdom of Great Britain, which eventually became the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. In 1999, Scotland received its own devolved home rule parliament to govern the country on purely domestic matters. Scotland is the second-largest nation in the United Kingdom (after England).

http://www.forerunner.com/forerunner/X0531_Bios-_Scottish_Coven.html

Extractions: Increasing persecution by the Catholic authorities against the Scottish Reformers in the 1500s led them to adopt a form of public prayer proclamations or "covenantal lawsuits." The intent of these prayer proclamations was to implore their enemies to come to the knowledge of salvation. If the wicked rulers refused to repent of their murders and idolatries, the Church, acting as an ecclesiastical court, was giving them over to hell. These declarations warned their oppressors to repent or suffer the consequences of facing a militant uprising led by the Church of Scotland. The text of one such proclamation reads as follows: "To the generation of Antichrist, the pestilent prelates and their Shavelings within Scotland, the Congregation of Christ Jesus within the same, sayeth, "Yea, we shall begin that same war which God commanded Israel to execute against the Canaanites; that is, contract of peace shall never be made till ye desist from your bloody idolatry and cruel persecution of God's children. And this we signify unto you in the name of the eternal God, and of his Son Jesus Christ, whose verity we profess, and Evangel we will have preached, and holy Sacraments rightly ministered, so long as God will assist us to gainstand your idolatry. Take this for advertisement and be not deceived." The Scottish Covenanters refuted the idea of the "Divine Right of Kings" arguing that the King himself is in covenant with God. The people, as the king's subjects, were also a part of the covenant. Yes, God ordained earthly rulers, but only those who were just and obedient to God's law. If a king broke covenant with God, the people were obliged to throw off the shackles of tyranny - otherwise the people would be guilty of submitting to the unjust commandments of wicked rulers. John Knox implored the earthly rulers to submit themselves to God's authority:

Extractions: At the Reformation the Catholic Church was replaced by Presbyterianism as the state religion of Scotland. Authority resides in an annual General Assembly, descending through synods, presbyteries and kirk sessions. Cathedrals became redundant with the abolition of bishops. Some were simply deserted. Others survived, wholly or in part, as parish churches - kirks. The clergy are known as ministers or pastors and their residences as manses. The Church has been prone to schism. The Secession Church broke away in 1733. In 1843 a third of the established Church's ministers broke away to form the Free Church of Scotland, and The United Presbyterian Church was formed in 1847. Naturally all required buildings in which to worship, and manses for their ministers. Nearly 500 churches were built by 1844 for the Free Church. Many of these were simple constructions, built in haste, but some later churches were designed by architects of distinction, such as the remarkable three in Glasgow by Alexander 'Greek' Thomson , the survivors of which are the Caledonian Road (1856) and St Vincent Street-Milton However most of the United Presbyterian and Free Churches merged in 1900 to form the United Free Church, which in turn united with the

A Tale Of Two Kingdoms
A History of the church of scotland from the Reformation to the Glorious Revolution by Jeff Spitler in audio realAudio and MP3 form; bibliography; links.
http://www.stillwaterrpc.org/church_history.html

Extractions: Sir, as diverse times before, so now again I must tell you there are two kings and two kingdoms in Scotland; there is Christ Jesus and His Kingdom the Kirk, whose subject King James the Sixth is, and of whose Kingdom he is not a king, nor a head, nor a lord, but a member; and they whom Christ has called, and commanded to watch over His kirk and govern His spiritual kingdom, have sufficient power of Him and authority so to do, both together and severally, the which no Christian King nor prince should control and discharge, but fortify and assist, otherwise not faithful subjects, not members of Christ. This class will attempt to tell the story of two kingdoms in Scotland: Christ's Kingdom, the Church, and that kingdom which also belongs to Christ, but is ruled by the civil magistrate. Man, in his fallen state, is often tempted to assert his autonomy over God. For the civil magistrate, the temptation often takes the form of extending his dominion beyond its proper boundaries. We will cover the period between the first reformation (mid-1500's) and the Glorious Revolution (1688). During this time, the struggles between the civil magistrates (Mary of Guise, Mary Stuart, and the Stewart Kings) and the Church were particularly intense. Ultimately, the Church's testimony that it would have no King but Christ was sealed with the blood of many martyrs.
