Scottish Episcopal Church in Leith Edinburgh
St James is a vibrant, inclusive church and community hub in Leith. Through our Building Links campaign, we’re raising funds to ensure our building continues to serve as a welcoming space for all. See our Giving page for more details.
We believe in welcoming and celebrating human diversity in all its richness, allowing a safe space for people to ask questions and grow in their faith and spirituality.
We believe the church should follow in Jesus’ footsteps, have a prophetic edge which speaks out against injustice and its causes, and which has the courage to speak truth to power.
We believe in celebrating creativity in all its varied expressions, using the Arts as a way of challenging injustice and bringing life, beauty and humanity into a world filled with struggle & pain.
We believe in meeting people where they are at, walking alongside them, hearing their story and developing relationships built on mutuality and trust.
We believe in cherishing the beauty and wisdom of creation and reflecting it in our worship, decision making and action.
