• A Message For Lent
  From the International Council of Community Churches
  The mysteries of life and death; of life and life eternal; of death and resurrection: all are present in the penitential season of Lent leading up to Easter. Those of us in colder climes seek a too-easy parallel as we view the shivering, shuddering cold of winter giving up its frigid embrace to longer days of sunlight. But that metaphor is faulty because death is not hibernation, and in the universe we see, resurrection is not a matter of sight. The church year as opposed to the solar cycle, calls us to confront our own emptiness in the face of death, and to struggle with intimations of hope even while we are in the midst of our despair. The proclamation of Easter is not one of easy grace, because as the season of Lent reveals, our narrative as well as that of scripture is one of horrible discontinuity and terrible contrast. Resurrection does not happen before, beside or without crucifixion.
  
  Yet that unblinking acknowledgement of an awful universe, before we leap to our hope for an awe-full cosmos, is what our age most needs. Any call to faith that does not truly recognize tragedy and pain is, especially for the world in which we live, a sham. The proclamation of Easter when it is not separated from the narrative of Lent, Holy Week and Good Friday, first recognizes our world for what it is. Then and only then can the astounding, faith-bending resurrection proclamation be proclaimed with integrity. Only then can a message of hope that both comprehends and conquers the dissolution of all our dreams be received with joy.
  
  So in this season, let our gospel be full: living with the world’s pain as well as offering balm, and first weeping with those who grieve before rejoicing with those who celebrate. Only then will it happen that when we greet the Easter dawn, those with and to whom we minister will find the strength and courage to shout out with us the good news: the Lord is risen; the Lord is risen indeed!
  
  May God bless you in your ministry this season and always.

• Independent Jurisdiction
  The Open Episcopal Church in Scotland
  The Open Episcopal Church in Scotland today re-affirmed that on 19th June 2011 the diocese of Scotland had by mandate removed itself from the primacy of Archbishop Jonathan Clive Blake and his college of bishops and from their Code of Canons, thereby declaring itself an independent Province of The Open Episcopal Church, now established in Scotland under a new canonical structure in legitimate and historic succession of The Open Episcopal Church formerly established as a diocese. The Church will maintain its ecclesial identity in territories outside the province with its canonically appointed bishops under the name of The Open Episcopal Church International
  
  The Presiding Bishop at present heads the Province of Scotland. In Scotland the Church is to continue to be known simply as The Open Episcopal Church with charity names of The Open Episcopal Church in Scotland and The Open Episcopal Church Diocese of Scotland. Whilst all ecclesial ties are now formally broken with Archbishop Blake and his council of bishops the church in Scotland continues as a legally established jurisdiction and is the only valid expression of The Open Episcopal Church in Scotland. No bishop or bishop-elect in or of Scotland of The Open Episcopal Church can be recognised as such other than with the approval and Canonical consent of the Presiding Bishop of The Open Episcopal Church in Scotland as the Ordinary. Any attempt to make an episcopal appointment in or to Scotland without such approval would be a violation of Catholic order
  
  Applications and enquiries from outside of Scotland to become an independent jurisdiction of The Open Episcopal Church International should be made to the Vicar General

  Press Release relating to this issue
• Attack on our Church
  Jonathan Clive Blake continues his shameful attack
  It has come to our notice that people are receiving communications from Archbishop Jonathan Blake, denigrating our Scottish Church and in particular its Bishop. We must point out that Mr Blake has no jurisdiction over our Church, which is totally independent from his jurisdiction, and that his extravagant and defamatory comments on our Bishop are totally without substance. We ask that anyone receiving such a defamatory communication from Mr Blake will contact our Church Authorities at.diocesan.secretary@openiscopalchurch.org.uk so that we may give a full, true and clear refutation
  
  The Office of the Scottish Charity Regulator (OSCR) is the only statutory authority that regulates us and they are fully aware of Mr Blake's campaign against us. You may verify our legal status and independent management structure by visiting their website where you will also find further contact details for us

• Criminal Campaign
  Email Campaign Against Senior Church Officials
  The Trustees of The Open Episcopal Church in Scotland have been made aware of emails circulating that say they have been sent by an "archbishop of the Communion of the Open Episcopal Church" and which state, falsely, that he has placed certain senior members of this church "under discipline". We are an independent church registered in Scotland and have no connection with any church or communion called by the above name, nor do we have an archbishop. The matter has been reported to the Scottish Police who are referring it to the Procurator Fiscal for possible criminal prosecution. The Trustees are also considering issuing civil proceedings against the perpetrator.

PVG Scheme disclosures and membership, which can only be accessed by churches and organisations here in Scotland, are a legal requirement for anyone undertaking protected work in this country. Enhanced Disclosures from any other jurisdiction, including England & Wales, are not valid for protected work in Scotland. Open Episcopal Church in Scotland staff have undertaken full training, courtesy of the Church of Scotland, and are fully registered to access and administer the scheme. Existing Scottish Enhanced Disclosures remain valid for work with The Open Episcopal Church in Scotland until all remaining clergy and staff can be processed onto the new scheme but cease to be valid if a member of clergy or staff leaves our jurisdiction

• ACTS
  Scotland
  At a recent members meeting of Action of Churches Together in Scotland (ACTS) an application to join that was submitted by the Open Episcopal Church in Scotland was rejected on the basis that the church did not fully meet the second requirement, which is "a willingness to work ecumenically", and that it did not meet the third requirement which is "to be organised on at least a Scottish national level". As the Open Episcopal Church has fully demonstrated its willingness to work ecumenically but has been prevented from doing so largely due to hostility from several other churches and because the Open Episcopal Church is a UK wide organisation with congregations, missions and other ministries stretching from Bournemouth on the south coast of England to Kirkwall in the north of Scotland, clarification has been sought from the next members meeting of ACTS in an attempt to discern why our membership application has been rejected and what, precisely, the church needs to do to conform to the membership requirement of that organisation
