St Silas departs from Scottish Episcopals

St Silas Church

St Silas Church in the West End of Glasgow voted in June to discontinue its status as a licensed private chapel within the Scottish Episcopal Church (SEC).

After a process of consultation and prayer, a members’ vote was held and an emphatic majority of 86% (132 people) voted to leave.

The Rector, Martin Ayers, said: ‘We welcome anyone and everyone to spend time with us and discover how Jesus answers the big questions of life.’ The church has a congregation of 225 on average each Sunday, making it one of the largest churches in the Diocese of Glasgow and Galloway.
