The Anomalous Position of the English Church in Reform Debates
The piece argues the English Church remains in an anomalous state since 1662 with vast sectarian splits and a lack of effective representation. It criticizes rubrics and royal-ecclesiastical control, questions reform paths via Convocation, and links religious reform to political change, citing Disraeli era battles over the Public Worship Regulation Bill and more.
