Action of Churches Together in Scotland (ACTS) is a national ecumenical organisation of churches in Scotland, founded in 1990.[1] It is the successor to the former Scottish Council of Churches. ACTS is one of the four national ecumenical bodies in the UK, with equivalent bodies being Churches Together in England, Cytûn in Wales and the Irish Council of Churches, plus Churches Together in Britain and Ireland. The ACTS office was originally located in Dunblane, then in Alloa and finally in Stirling.
Since June 2021 ACTS has been effectively superseded by the Scottish Church Leaders' Forum. As of May 2022 ACTS remains in existence for legal and administrative purposes only, governed by its Trustees but without staff.[2]
