The Guild
The Church of Scotland Guild was founded in 1887 by Archibald Charteris in order to enable women to use their spiritual gifts and practical talents irrespective of their walk of life. The Guild’s aim is to invite and encourage people to commit their lives to Jesus Christ in worship, prayer and action. The motto of the Guild (from Acts 27:23) is:
“Whose we are and Whom we serve”
Today there are over 40,000 people, both men and women, who belong to the Guild, and it is one of Scotland’s largest voluntary organisations.
The theme of the Church of Scotland Guild’s current projects is “Let’s live: body, mind and soul”. A number of projects are supported, including:
|
·
