English bishops alarmed by Welsh disestablishment manifesto
A manifesto signed by English archbishops and thirty-one bishops warns that disestablishment of the church in Wales would break church unity, deprive the poor of church rights, and plunge Wales into penury. It urges clergy and laypeople to explain the issue, while clergy may not preach on it. The bill, introduced by Home Secretary Asquith on April 26, would take effect January 1, 1800, dissolve ecclesiastical corporations, transfer patronage rights, and allocate church income to Welsh public works and education projects.
