Forward Together is an evangelical organisation within the Church of Scotland which acts as a pressure group on a variety of issues.
It supports what it considers to be traditional biblical values on all issues including civil partnerships, same-sex blessings and embryonic stem cell research.
However by December 2014 that situation had dramatically changed with 60% of presbyteries voting to accept sexually active homosexuals in ministry and the denomination turning a blind-eye to the blessing of same sex relationships.
In December 2014 a new grouping "Covenant Fellowship Scotland" was launched following the final Presbytery vote on adopting an Overture which would permit those in same-sex civil partnerships to serve as ministers and deacons in the Church.
"[5] The new grouping again failed to halt the adoption at the 2015 General Assembly of the legislation allowing congregations to opt out of biblical norms and call active homosexuals in civil partnership to serve as ministers and deacons.
