Disestablishment Call Deepens Church Reform Debate
A speech by Mr. Rogers rejects continued Establishment and urges Liberal disestablishment and disendowment of the Church of England. He argues Church unity is strained by State control, cites cases like Gorham and Tooth, and praises Nonconformists as Liberal champions while warning against party frictions. The meeting ends with praise for Dare and Rogers and a pledge to pursue reform.
