The '''Church of Scotland''' (The "Kirk" in [[Scots]]) is the established church in [[Scotland]]. It is Calvinistic ([[Reformed Churches|Reformed]]) in doctrine and [[Presbyterian]] in government and discipline. Its strict, orthodox Calvinism and strong opposition to frivolity long dominated the values and culture of Scotland, even after a split in 1843 that was not healed until the 1920s. It was the established church until 1921; informally it is not considered "established. The Church of Scotland now enrolls about 600,000 members, but has been shrinking in membership and influence.
