EDITORS COMMENTS
Auld Anworth Kirk: A Glimpse into Scotland's Covenanting History Step into the hallowed grounds of Auld Anworth Kirk, nestled in the picturesque village of Anworth, near Gatehouse of Fleet in Kirkcudbrightshire, Scotland. This evocative photograph, captured in the 1960s, offers a hauntingly beautiful glimpse into the past, revealing the interior of this historic and revered place of worship. The ruins of Auld Anworth Kirk hold a rich and significant place in Scottish history, having once served as the parish church and the resting place for many generations. Among its most famous incumbents was the renowned Covenanter, Samuel Rutherford. Born in Anwoth in 1600, Rutherford's theological and spiritual influence extended far beyond the borders of Scotland, earning him a place among the great Reformers of the 17th century. The interior of the kirk, as seen in this photograph, bears the marks of time and the passage of history. The worn stones, the remnants of pews, and the crumbling arches speak to the countless services held within these walls, the prayers offered, and the lives touched by the words of the faithful men and women who once gathered here. The Auld Kirk at Anworth stands as a testament to Scotland's rich religious heritage, a reminder of the enduring power of faith, and a poignant reminder of the past. As you explore the ruins, you can almost hear the whispers of history, inviting you to delve deeper into the stories of those who came before us, and to ponder the depths of the human spirit.
