Ibrox Parish Church is a parish church of the Church of Scotland, serving Ibrox and Cessnock in the southside of Glasgow, Scotland next to the M8 motorway. It is within the Church of Scotland's Presbytery of Glasgow. The current minister is the Rev E Spence. ==History== The history of the church dates back to 1863 when the Kirk Session of Govan Old Parish Church made the church one of her many daughters to help serve the expanding southside of Glasgow as "Bellahouston Parish Church". The sanctuary was built using money from Moses Steven, a wealthy entrepreneur, and designed by James Smith (It is reported that the ghost of Smith's daughter resides in the church). In 1898 the two transepts were added to the original building, making it the lovely cruciform shape which we see today after two unions with neighbouring churches, Steven Memorial in 1969 and Ibrox in 1978. In 1978 the church name was officially changed to Ibrox Parish Church. Over the years, there have been many alterations and upgradings to the overall building complex, including a Link Block with an office and board room between the sanctuary and the church halls. In addition to many other artistic features and church furnishings, the building had until 2009 an original French Cavaille-Coll, one of two in Scotland: the other at Paisley Abbey. As the organ was in need of extensive repair at a prohibitive cost, an Allan Digital organ was installed. In 2002, the church was used as one of the locations for the film Man Dancin'. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ibrox Parish Church」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
