The same terms which the U.S. Episcopal Church accepted in 2016 for its decision to adopt inclusive marriage policies without Anglican Communion consultation was applied to the Scottish Episcopal Church as a result of its own support for same-sex marriage. The result was that until 2020 the Scottish Church agreed that it will "no longer represent the Communion on ecumenical and interfaith bodies; should not be appointed or elected to internal standing committees and that, while participating in the internal bodies of the Anglican Communion, they would not take part in decision making on any issues of doctrine or polity."
