The Congregation
The worshipping congregation at St Bride's was first gathered for public worship in 2008 on Advent Sunday. This was in response to the pastoral and spiritual need for there to be a place of worship for Anglicans who held to tradition and scripture in the face of the Revisionism that is rife in the Scottish Episcopal Church. Our attempts to be established as a private chapel in the diocese of Glasgow & Galloway were rejected in 2009 by Idris Jones. We therefore had no choice but to seek Episcopal care outwith Scotland. It is our hope that the creation of the Scottish Anglican Network in 2017 will soon result in the provision of Episcopal care from a Bishop in the United Kingdom.
The tradition of the Congregation is Anglo-Catholic. We place a very high emphasis on the daily offering of the Mass, the saying of the Offices, and the keeping of the traditional Feasts and Fasts of the Church's year. Devotion to Our Lady forms part of our worship with the regular recitation of the Holy Rosary.
Our Congregation is drawn from all over Dumfries & Galloway. We are a friendly and welcoming diverse group of people of all ages and backgrounds. We place an emphasis on having fun in our worship. Glorious can also be fun. We are proud of our beautiful church, the Burgh Church of Dumfries.
