It cites parish taxation disputes, church rates, and opposition from ratepayers, plus broader notes on church secessions and reform debates tied to 1848 events and figures like Dr. William Innes.

Causes of working class hostility to Christian institutions

It cites reserved dogmatism, wealth influence in deacon selection, unequal treatment in worship, and neglect of poorer members as barriers to genuine faith and mental enlightenment.
