St. Oswald's Scottish Episcopal Church

Scottish and Anglican
St. Oswald's is part of the Scottish Episcopal Church within the Diocese of Glasgow and Galloway, and therefore a part of the Anglican Communion Worldwide.The Scottish Episcopal Church has deep historical roots, founded in the first saints to come to our shores, and suffered greatly through it's allegiance to the Jacobite cause and the Stuart Dynasty. Today the church is small, but has a significant role to play in Scottish life and culture. Our parish welcomes people of all ages and cultures and is particularly pleased to keep in touch with other Anglicans throughout the world.
Our Parish
St. Oswald's Church was founded in 1931, as one of the churches built under the Home Mission Board's "Million Shilling Scheme" which was launched in the 1920's to provide mission churches in six of the new housing areas growing up in the city of Glasgow. In 1966 a new building was erected and consecrated to house an expected growth of the congregation which never actually materialised. It's most famous former clergyman would be the Revd. Alistair. I.M. Haggart who went on to become Bishop of Edinburgh, and Primus of the Scottish Episcopal Church. We are small in numbers, (about 50 on a Sunday), but committed and welcoming to newcomers and fellow seekers of truth.At the moment we are completing a Mission 21 Programme, a massive parish audit, which should see many changes in the way we do things over the next few years. The Report is being submitted to our Vestry at the end of January 2001, and new ways forward will then be planned.
