    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[1747	The Secession Church Divides into the Burghers and Anti-Burghers]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[The new Secession Church had a number of internal divisions which came to a head in the late 1740s. A particular area of disagreement concerned whether Seceders could take an oath to support the religion ‘presently professed in the country’. This oath was required of public officials, and in some Scottish burghs was demanded of all burgesses (essentially urban residents holding property over a certain value). Those congregations which accepted the oath became known as Burghers and those who rejected it were called Anti-Burghers.]]></dcterms:description>
