Meaning
The Kirk is an informal name for the Church of Scotland, the country's

national church. The Kirk of Scotland was in official use as the name of the Church of Scotland until the 17th century, and still today the term is frequently used in the press and everyday speech, though seldom in the Church's own literature.

Form
The Scottish Church is Presbyrian in form.
The first Protestants in Scotland,

led by Patrick Hamilton, were mostly Lutheran. However, with the return of John Knox from Geneva, the Scottish Reformation came under the influence of Calvinism.

Separation
Main stages of the separation of the church from the state were the transfer (1872) of church schools to civil authorities and the abolition (1874) of

ecclesiastical patronage. The spiritual independence of the Church of Scotland was recognized by Acts of Parliament in 1921 and 1925. A merger proposed in 1960 between the Church of England, the Church of Scotland, the Presbyterian Church of England, and the Episcopal Church of Scotland did not take place. The church has about 640 members (1999).
