Abstract

This response to Harry Reid's Outside Verdict: An Old Kirk in a New Scotland builds on the book's extensive use of demographic data by presenting further statistical evidence of institutional decline in the Church of Scotland. The paper considers the wider picture of church decline in Scotland and internationally, and also looks at specific issues raised by the book including 'administrative stagnation in the face of catastrophic membership decline'.
