Ealde Culdee Kirke [Olde Culdee Church] has been established since approximately 37 A.D. Now found in America in many locations and throughout the world, this Missionary Office of the Olde Culdee Church [established at Waco, Texas] is called by the Lord primarily serving His missionary and evangelical needs; performing the Sacraments, teaching and leading God's children into a direct relationship with the Lord. Founded upon Joseph of Arimathea's planting of the Gospel in Glastonbury, England circa 37 A.D.; and thereafter carried on by St. Columcille in 530 A.D., the Ealde Culdee Kirk [Olde Culdee Church] through Christian Almshouse and the Iona Scottish Missionary Society are called by the Lord to preach the Gospel in America and to the uttermost parts of the earth by teaching classes on the early roots of Christianity in Glastonbury England and the Isle of Iona, Scotland. We also hold classes and seminars on corporation sole church and ministry organization; Literal translation of Aramaic Gospel manuscripts; Home church planting; and conduct a Healing Davidic harp ministry using ancient proto-Hebraic and Aramaic sounds

Greville Ewing founded the Edinburgh Tract Society, later the Scottish Missionary Society in 1796. Greville Ewing (1767-1841), born in Old Greyfriars Edinburgh, became an early supporter of Missions and of Congregationalism in Scotland. With William Carey [a Father of Modern Missions], he was a founder member and the first secretary of the Edinburgh (later Scottish) Missionary Society, formed in March 1796. In July 1796 he helped found the Missionary Magazine and was joint editor till 1799.
