The Scottish Episcopal Church in the nineteenth century was
dominated by High Churchmen. But by around 1820, Evangelical clergy
began to take up posts within its fold, particularly in the major
Scottish cities, holiday centres and in places where wealthy
patrons could supply funds necessary to sustain a church. The
Evangelical newcomers reached a numerical peak from 1842 to 1854,
when they accounted for around one in seven of all episcopal clergy
in Scotland. They provided some of the most active and vibrant
ministries in the country, notable for their work among the poor
and in Sabbatarian, temperance and missionary endeavours. At the
same time their private lives were marked by an attractiveness
which belied some contemporary critics of Evangelicalism. The book
explores the history of Evangelical Episcopalians in
nineteenth-century Scotland. Doctrinal differences with the
Scottish Episcopal Church particularly concerning evangelism
eucharistic and baptismal thought are studied in detail against the
background of the social history of this important group of
churchmen.
