[citation needed] In 2019, the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland announced that ACTS would be succeeded by a new body to be called the Scottish Christian Forum.
[3] Since June 2021 ACTS has been effectively superseded by the Scottish Church Leaders' Forum.
By May 2022 ACTS remained in existence for legal and administrative purposes only, governed by its Trustees but without staff.
[citation needed] When first created, the office of ACTS was located at the former Scottish Churches House in Dunblane.
Scottish Churches House was opened in 1960, closed in 2011 and subsequently converted into a hotel.
[8][9] Henceforth, greater emphasis has been placed on the development of Local Ecumenical Partnerships.
A separate body, the Scottish Churches' Committee, is responsible for liaison with public authorities on legal (rather than spiritual) matters - such as changes to legislation and the resulting effect on churches (such as planning law, changes to local government taxation, etc.).
