Contested Church Information Inquiries Spark Debate
In the discussion, a Congregational Union circular asking churches for data to gauge strength and activity is defended as informative rather than inquisitorial.

The piece also covers parliamentary notes on Berkshire Camp issues and various bills in Lords and Commons.

University Tests Ireland Bill aims to end religious tests
Mr Fawcett moves second reading of a bill to abolish religious and clerical tests at Trinity College Dublin and the University of Dublin and to create a representative educational board. The measure would admit Catholics and Protestant Dissenters to foundation scholarships and fellowships with equal governing rights, aligning Dublin governance with Cambridge. It notes Dublin’s allowance of non residence degrees and defends reform against expected Catholic opposition.
