Exeter Hall Evangelicals Debate Black Gown Unity
At Exeter Hall last Wednesday about 200 clergymen and notable figures such as Mr. Molyneux, Mr. Ryle, and others resolved to keep the black gown amid fierce debate. The meeting exposed deep divisions between High and Low Church, with warnings against surplice adoption and threats to resist episcopal influence. Dean Stanley’s lectures on Scotland drew mixed, sharp responses from church organs and critics.
