The Scottish Reformation Society
Reformation-Scotland is the website of the Inverness Branch of the Scottish Reformation Society. Our aim is to promote a witness to the history, theology and principles of the Protestant Reformation in Scotland.
Inverness Branch
The Inverness Branch of the Scottish Reformation Society was established in 1978 under the leadership of Rev Hugh Ferrier, and our current Chairman is Rev Maurice Roberts, minister of the Free Church of Scotland Continuing in Inverness. We are fully committed to the sole authority of Scripture as the infallible Word of God and Justification by Faith Alone in Christ Alone, and seek to encourage the clear proclamation of such truths. We aim to be faithful to the witness borne by the Reformers, ‘according to the consensus of the Reformed Confessions’.
The Inverness Branch holds five public meetings each year, in which a lecture is given on a doctrinal or historical subject, usually relating to the Reformation in Scotland, or the subsequent history of the Scottish Church, with applications for today.
These meetings are usually held between October and March, in the Inverness Royal Academy.
Further details will be posted when the Syllabus has been printed, usually in September.

Details of future lectures are made available on this site. We also produce a Syllabus of Meetings for each season of lectures, and reminders of upcoming lectures are sent by e-mail. If you would like to be added to our contact list, please click here.
This site provides a Catalogue of Lectures, delivered at previous meetings of the society. The more recent of these are available on-line to listen or download. Some lectures are also available in text version, along with many other reformed articles and sermons in the Articles section.
At the time of the Scottish Reformation in 1560, the Scots Confession was prepared following a request from Parliament. The Westminster Confession of Faith and the Larger and Shorter Catechisms were received by the Church of Scotland in the mid 17th century, and have had great influence in the Scottish Church since that time. These documents, and articles about them, are available in the Confessions & Catechisms section.
Scots Worthies, by John Howie, contains short biographies of men who have been influencial in the Scottish Reformation and the subsequent history of the Scottish Church.
