Public Worship Regulation Bill debated in House of Commons
In Wednesday’s session Mr Disraeli moved to postpone other orders so the Public Worship Regulation Bill could be discussed further. Mr Cross defended the bill as procedural and aimed at ensuring worship according to Church standards, while Mr Walter warned of wider stakes for the Establishment and ritualist practices, linking them to sacerdotalism and potential disestablishment.
