| Summary: | A national survey into the clerical views of the the fall', Christ's return', the Day of Judgement', and access to heaven reveals the extent of theological conservatism among Scotland's ministers. Comparison of the Church of Scotland with the other denominations in Scotland reveals it to be representative in its conservative-progressive theological profile. Regional variations are identified. Ranking of Scotland's denominations is presented in terms of conservatism in theological interpretation. Findings are discussed with particular reference to ecumenical efforts to secure denominational unions and the balance of power within the Church of Scotland. |
