Abstract
The post-war period in Scotland saw a dramatic resurgence of mission and evangelism, seeking to contextualize the Gospel to the rhythms of everyday life to re-establish its meaning and relevance. This would require a dedicated engagement with all levels of society, which in turn would lead the churches to be revolutionized into ‘missionary parishes’ of constant witness and service. The work was consciously ecumenical and diverse theologically. The missional key was the ‘apostolate of the laity’. This chapter considers the theology and practice of central figures such as Tom Allan, as well as the ‘Tell Scotland’ movement, the Iona Community, the Gorbals Group Ministry, and Scottish Churches House. Conclusions are drawn as to their missiological legacy.
