Knox preached in many cities and countries, even during his two years in Geneva. He's well-known for pastoring St. Giles' Cathedral in Edinburgh from 1560-1572.

ST. GILES CATHEDRAL

"The Church of Scotland is presbyterian in government, and St Giles' Cathedral is often called the mother church of world presbyterianism. It has uniquely reflected the life and religion of Scotland and incorporated the dynamic vision of the 16th century Reformation in the continuity of a developing and catholic church.

There are five services every Sunday and on average fourteen acts of worship in St Giles' every week. Worship at St Giles' upholds Christian tradition alongside openness to contemporary thought and action.

Holy Communion is the central act of worship in St Giles' and is celebrated several times each week. The Daily Service is a simple quarter-hour service of readings and prayers each weekday at noon. Visitors are welcome to join with the congregation in worship. Members of all churches are invited to participate fully in Holy Communion at St Giles'."

And...

ST. GILES' CATHEDRAL, KNOX AND THE REFORMATION

Who knows how "open to contemporary thought and action" St. Giles' has become?

!!! Is this typical for Presbyterians? (I'm debating frequency of Communion on another thread...someone's telling me once a year and that's it)
