Arnold on the Church Establishment and the Goodness Aim
A critical review of Mr. Arnold’s argument for establishing the Church of England to promote goodness. The piece contends that all churches claim goodness as their end, yet only the Anglican system ties it to state establishment, which the author condemns as inadequate and counter to human freedom. It argues voluntary devotion and noncoercive religion best sustain moral influence.
