What is the Church of Scotland?
- A branch of the Church of England in Scotland
- A Scottish Baptist denomination
- The national church of Scotland, Presbyterian in organisation
- A Catholic church established in Scotland during the Reformation
Why this is the correct answer
The Church of Scotland is the national church of Scotland but is independent of the Church of England and organised on Presbyterian principles rather than having bishops. It was established during the Scottish Reformation in the 16th century. The Church of Scotland is Presbyterian in governance, meaning it is led by elected ministers and elders rather than appointed bishops.
