Letter on Ecclesiastical Affairs and Doctrinal Trust Deeds
W. Kirkus defends Liberation Society positions at Hackney Conference against critiques. He argues that endowments and doctrinal trusts in both Establishment and Dissent threaten religious liberty, urging policy over property rights, and contends that true consistency lies in undoing old privileges rather than expanding them. He cites Poultry Chapel, rent-charges, and the state’s role in church property.
