The Presidential Address to the Society by the Reverend Principal John H S Burleigh, MA, B Litt, DD, New College, University of Edinburgh
A transcript of the Presidential Address to the Church Service Society at its Annual Meeting in New College, Edinburgh on 23 May 1958, Burleigh begins by discussing Gregory Dix’s book, The Shape of the Liturgy. He then moves on to look at the Reformation and the battle as he describes it, between Anglicanism and Calvinism fought out in the face of threatening Romanism. It is a common feature of all the Reformed churches that their foundation is a Confession of Faith, containing the doctrine to be taught or preached to the people both in sermon and in sacrament and he highlights the difficulties of the conjunction between Word and Sacraments, He discusses the place given to the congregation in the Reformed tradition.

The Rev Eric Routley, BD, MA, D Phil, lately McKennall Lecturer in Church History, and Chaplain, Mansfield College, Oxford; now Minister of Augustine-Bristo Congregational Church, Edinburgh
‘A Christian who is denied the Psalms in his public worship is like a man condemned to a diet in which there are no fresh vegetables’, writes Routley. ‘He will be dyspeptic and uncomely before he is forty-five.’ He argues that in the presentation and performance of Psalms in public worship, there are several difficulties to be faced, and he goes on to a comparative discussion about the use of Psalms in worship in the Anglican and Roman Catholic traditions.

The Rev Fred Robertson, BA, Minister of the Parish of Chapelton
Robertson writes in response to the view that the singing of metrical Psalms in worship is becoming less and less popular. He argues therefore that congregational participation in reading the prose Psalms is to be commended and encouraged, and offers some guidance on how members of congregations can join in such reading. He also makes reference on how to sing plainsong.

Gordon Donaldson Esq, MA, Ph D, D Litt, Reader in Scottish History and Paleography in the University of Edinburgh
Gordon Donaldson contrasts the heritage of worship between the Church of Scotland and the Scottish Episcopal Church, arguing that both churches should work together more and so gain a better solution of problems in worship. He encourages the forging of a closer understanding of each other, thus working towards the ultimate objective of unity. The service of Holy Communion in both traditions is discussed and he looks for areas of potential agreement between the substance of the two liturgies.
