About
'The United Free Church of Scotland came into being in 1900 with the
union of the Free Church of Scotland and the United Presbyterian Church.
Both of these arose from the problems caused by state interference in
the life of the Church and the issue of patronage in particular. As
presently constituted it dates from 1929 when a minority of the Church
refused to enter a union with the Church of Scotland on the grounds that
it opposed the state recognition of any one particular denomination.' More »
