Sinopsis

Excerpt from Library of Universal Knowledge, Vol. 5 of 15: A Reprint of the Last (1880) Edinburgh and London Edition of Chamber's Encyclopaedia, With Copious Additions by American Editors

Disruption, the name generally given in Scotland to the famous act of 1843, by which upwards of 400 ministers of the church of Scotland (nearly two fifths of the whole) left their churches and manses to vindicate principles which they conceived to be essential to the purity of that church, and in harmony with its earlier history. The word D. Was probably chosen to indicate that these ministers did not look on their act as a secession or dissent from the church of Scotland, but as a split or division within it, and the body immediately after formed by them assumed the name of the free church of Scotland. See free church.
