Cevap
The Church of Scotland is a Presbyterian church governed by the General Assembly, where the Monarch is a member rather than the head.
The Church of Scotland is a Presbyterian church, which means it is governed by a hierarchy of courts (Kirk Sessions, Presbyteries, and the General Assembly) rather than bishops. While it is the national church of Scotland, it is independent of state control. A key distinction from the Church of England is that the Monarch is a member of the Church of Scotland, not its head or Supreme Governor.
