Concern for the poor and the sick, the giving of practical help and financial aid where needed, famine relief, provision of education, dealing with battered wives, single-parent families, marital problems, divorce and counselling, all this and more came under the care of the Church of Scotland Kirk Sessions which at one time acted virtually as the local authority, especially in country districts. This meticulously researched and fascinating book covers every aspect of the work of the Sessions, giving a unique insight into the life and problems of ordinary people.
