The Church of Scotland Year Book is an essential handbook and directory on which many ministers, elders and lay leaders rely for information of all kinds. Including contact information for every minister, it also lists contact details for all church offices – local and central, the clerks, and general personnel. Many users claim not to be able to manage without it and, while churches are closed and social distancing is obligatory, it is more valuable than ever as a means of staying in touch. In addition it provides the most up to date figures for church membership, numbers of communicants, parish income and key updates from the General Assembly. This portable compendium of vital information includes every key contact within the Church and pointers to further information as well as information on procedures and protocols. Careful updates are made throughout to the many useful statistics and there is an extensive index.
