The Churches of Broughty Ferry Book PDF Summary
Broughty Ferry on the outskirts of Dundee grew from a small fishing village to one of the wealthiest places in the world during the 19th century. As a consequence, a lot of churches were built, 11 being within an area of about 800m by 500 m. In its 12 chapters the history of each of church is described, along with the BFCG*, and the YMCA. There is also a chapter on early Christian worship in the area. Besides explaining why each church is here, the chapters also describe the people who made up the church and the buildings. Several of these are listed buildings, and a number of the stained-glass windows are thought to be of national importance. Some of our churches' style of worship have also stirred national debate, such as The Broughty Ferry Harmonium Case, or The Barnhill Case But the church is really the people rather than the building, and scattered throughout the book are anecdotes of ministers and church members. As well as individuals, congregations have played their part in the social life of the Ferry, particularly in the days before television. They also played their part helping others in times of disaster (for example, the capsize of the lifeboat Mona) or national emergencies, and in more peaceful times they have been a social conscience. Appendices list the buildings and their architects, the stained-glass windows, and the ministers of all the churches. *The Broughty Ferry Churches Group (BFCG) is an informal grouping of 9 churches representing 5 different denominations (Church of Scotland, Episcopalian, Catholic, Baptist, Methodist). The Congregational Church was also a member until it closed in 2005. The group has been working together for over 50 years
