State Church Patronage and Ministerial Maintenance Debate
The article reviews Noel and Macaulay works and argues against patronage in Anglican church appointments. It contends patrons and bishops shift control from congregations, leading to ungodly pastors, and contrasts Christ’s and the Union’s church support systems, urging independence from state funding. It includes excerpts on ministerial selection and the costs of maintaining clergy.
