Debate on Church Strength and Bishop Need in the North
A speaker critiques Church of England dominance in Durham and Northumberland noting inflated attendance figures, contrasts with Dissenters and Catholics, and cites 1851 data showing larger seating by nonconformists. He accuses clergy wealth and inequality of funds, argues against state-backed expansion, and praises Methodists for outreach to pit villages.
