Defeat in church governance and ease of building chapels
A letter in the London Evening Post argues that the Church of England lacks power to create chapels of ease without prohibitive costs. It cites ministers' fees, endowment requirements, and the need for a law to ease chapel building while protecting ministers' interests. The author urges diocesan inquiry into licenced worship places and contrasts with dissenters who can hire rooms or build with little cost. The piece laments income-driven obstacles in expanding church infrastructure.
