RiTvaLisT Grievances and Ritualism in Victorian Church Debates
A clergyman faces licensing doubts over holy orders with the Bishop of London and the Holy Cross Society. Dr Lee warns of a 1051 distress warrant for parish spire repairs, while critics blame ritualism for shrinking a 1000-member congregation. Disputes at St Alban's Holborn, the Public Worship Act judgment, Weston sclerotic debates, and Hatcham disturbances feature alongside clerical figures Mackonochie, Denison, and Tooth.
