information DESCRIPTION

The Priory church on the outskirts of Edinburgh, has been a place of Christian worship for 600 years and has a rich and varied history. Today the restored medieval building on the banks of the Firth of Forth is home to a lively church community who are convinced of the reality and relevance of the Christian message for the modern world.

So come and visit and find out more. We hope that you will find us user-friendly and welcoming both on our virtual site and in reality. If you live locally or are in the area, why not join us for our Sunday worship at 10 am or come along to one of our other church or community events.

Who goes to the Priory?

There are currently around 70 people who regularly attend the Priory Church, and many more who have an association on an occasional basis. On an average Sunday, there is a coffee and chat congregation of around 30 people, most of whom live in South Queensferry and the surrounding villages.

Who leads the Priory Church?

We have one full time Minister: Rev Terry Harkin who works with a colleague, Rev Dr Iain MacRobert, and a team of people who carry responsibility for specific areas of church life. Everyone is encouraged to participate in the life and work of the church by becoming involved in a way that is right for them.

What is the Scottish Episcopal Church?

The history of the Scottish Episcopal Church is inextricably tied to Scotland's own story reaching back to the early days of Christianity in Scotland in the times of St Ninian (4th century) and St Columba (6th century). Today, the Scottish Episcopal Church is a part of the world-wide Anglican family of churches.
