- Title
Missional Identities Woven in Tartan: Convictional Drivers and Practices in the Baptist Union of Scotland.

- Abstract
This paper seeks to develop insights offered by James Wm. McClendon, Jr. in exploring how convictions might be shaped as advocative, as drivers designed to be intentionally formative in shaping the lives of persons and communities, whether in the lives of people functioning in singularity or in community. We shall so designate convictions, when designed and shaped to be drivers, as convictional drivers. In developing our thesis, we will further argue from the Scottish context that such convictional drivers can have an ontological identity, rooted in the essential character or Being (Ïíôïò) of God. We observe that convictional drivers are made formative in and upon us, both in our personal singularities and communities, through the action of the Holy Spirit's leading us into participation with God in a manner that is both kenotic and anastatic.
