Disruption of 1843

The Disruption of 1843, also known as the Great Disruption,^[2] was a schism in 1843^[3]^[4] in which 450 evangelical ministers broke away from the Church of Scotland^[5] to form the Free Church of Scotland.^[6] The main conflict was over whether the Church of Scotland or the British Government had the power to control clerical positions and benefits. The Disruption came at the end of a bitter conflict within the Church of Scotland, and had major effects in the church and upon Scottish civic life.^[7]
