Church Defence Sunday and New Bishoprics in Reform Era
In a Guardian report, simultaneous collections for Church Defence Institution are proposed for a November Sunday with a December Church Association Sunday and a January Church Union Sunday. The government buys Winchester House for 45000 and creates a War Office site as St Albans bishopric faces funding, while Truro benefices gain stability with Lady Rolle endowment of 1200 annually. The Rev A M’Aulay, long evangelist, is named to the home mission department, replacing Rev Charles Prest, following a history across Ayr Glasgow Leeds London and Liverpool. A Bristol Assizes case details Rev E J Everard’s holiday plan and an animal menagerie that damaged a rectory, prompting compensation. A letter from Stoke Sunday school notes anti-Dissent sentiment in tea and cake distribution, linked to government aid and church-state tensions.
