The article argues that Anglican church state union harms both sides, urging immediate separation to restore religion and public peace. It critiques state salaries, patronage, and control, warns of continued political meddling, and calls free churches to unite for a new, spiritual revival. It references leaders, nations, and historic precedents to energize reform.
