Augustine United Church

Dublin Core

Title

Augustine United Church

Description

Augustine is a diverse, progressive Christian congregation of the United Reformed Church, with a rich history of global connections. Our four-storey building rises up from the Cowgate towards an elaborate tower that earned the church the nickname of “the bridecake” when it was opened in 1861.

Our permanent exhibition shares a story that began in one of the city’s most deprived areas and reflects our roots in the ‘Radical’ Scottish Reformation. Stained glass by Robert Burns (1869–1941) also featured.

GLOBAL CONNECTIONS
Augustine is collaborating with its tenant organisations Christian Aid and Jubilee Scotland to share examples of partnership and justice activism worldwide, from the church’s foundation to the present day.
