Disestablishment in Scotland urged by London committee
The Executive Committee in London directs Scottish operations. A Glasgow conference on May 17 unanimously approved a new sixty-member council led by secretary James Tait. The plan seeks to organize religious equality, public meetings, Scottish tailored publications, early Parliament discussion on disestablishment, and electing disestablishment pledging candidates. The piece argues disestablishment is overdue, outlines the Kirk's impositions, and urges Liberal voters to act to end state church privileges.
