Abstract
The Church of Scotland has exercised a long term commitment
to mission and its twentieth century expression, partnership in
mission. However, its theory and practice have often been at
odds with one another. This has raised issues of trust, integrity,
responsibility, sensitivity and mutual accountability. A key
requisite is consultation also often more honoured in the breach
than in its observance. The struggle has been how to make
partnership in mission an authentic two-way process. This
article examines this development until 1965 when a novel
approach, the partner church consultation, was introduced.
