Abstract
Sacraments and ministry, as expressed through liturgy and episcopacy, have especially defined Scottish Episcopacy against Presbyterianism. "Apostolic order" is central to thinking about liturgy and the sacraments, and to ministry. While the authorised liturgies of the SEC are subject to a process of constant renewal, it is consciously rooted in the ancient traditions of the Church catholic — not in the archaeological sense of finding contemporary use for any and every text discovered, nor in the narrow sense of clinging to Scottish particularities, but rejoicing to inhabit a living and dynamic tradition of worship. The distinctive orders of ministry are similarly cherished, not merely as theologically grounded human agencies of divine grace, but as embodying continuity with the work of the apostles of Christ.
