Structures of the Church in Scotland - Consultation
Following a request from the Holy See, the Bishops of Scotland have been invited to
reflect on how the structures of the Church in our country can best serve her mission in the
years ahead, specifically whether the present situation of eight dioceses is suitable.
We are all aware of the challenges before us — fewer clergy, changing patterns of practice,
and increasing pressures on our diocesan resources, among other things. Yet our mission
remains unchanged: to proclaim the Gospel and to lead our people to Christ. Two possible
pathways are being proposed for careful discernment: 1. Developing deeper cooperation and
the sharing of resources across dioceses within our present structures, or 2. The merging of
some dioceses.
As part of our archdiocesan consultation I would like to offer to our parishes the
opportunity to pray, reflect, and contribute to a presentation of initial findings which will be
given to the Holy See in the Autumn. To this end I invite parishes to reflect on the following
questions from BCoS:
1. Where do we see good examples of mission in our parishes, deanery, diocese and
country?
2. Where does mission need to develop or even begin? What are the barriers to better
mission and what can encourage it?
3. Does the present structure of eight dioceses in Scotland support mission? Does our
diocese already have all that it needs? Would it help if we were to share resources
with another diocese or dioceses? Would it help if our diocese merged with another
diocese?
Please encourage parishioners to respond to the above consultation questions online at
bit.ly/archconsultation26.
