On December 4 2011, Trinity Church, Aberdeen was born.
The new church fellowship was formed as a result of decisions taken by the Church of Scotland. At its General Assembly in May 2011, the CofS took a clear step towards recognising same-sex relationships in the ministry as acceptable for those in leadership. Although a definitive position has still to be decided, many evangelicals feel that the die has been cast and the departure from biblical orthodoxy will not be reversed.
Money and partnership
A particular problem for many in the Church of Scotland is the giving of money, especially when this is understood not as an act of charity towards the church but as a demonstration of spiritual partnership with it. It is felt that where the gospel is absent or altered, then the very basis of that partnership is missing and money cannot be given with integrity.
