The piece highlights Protestant dominance in Irish civil offices, questions English and Welsh office practices, and cites religious education funding, university seats, and church Sunday-school declines. It notes New Zealand church governance, the Guardian census, and a complaint about compulsory Wesleyan donations in St Austell.
