Church and state clash loom in English ecclesia
The piece surveys shifts in Anglican leadership and the rise of voluntary churches amid debates over patronage, bishops' power, and the Irish Church Bill. It notes the Durham deanery salary protest, Wesleyan tensions, and calls for a purely voluntary national church with minimal establishment. It concludes with a brief note on the Sunday and ragged schools rating exemption act.
