Action Of Churches Together In Scotland
Action of Churches Together in Scotland (ACTS) is a national ecumenical organisation of churches in Scotland, founded in 1990. It is the successor to the former Scottish Council of Churches. Formerly based in Dunblane at the (now closed) Scottish Churches' House, its office has been relocated to Alloa at the beginning of 2006.
ACTS is one of the four national ecumenical bodies in the UK, with equivalent bodies being Churches Together in England, Cytûn in Wales and the Irish Council of Churches, plus Churches Together in Britain and Ireland.
