Controversy Over Disestablishment and Church Patronage
The piece reports sharp opposition to disestablishment and disendowment in Ireland and England, citing speeches by Anglican clergy condemning Gladstone and praising Rome, while praising Dr. Hook’s arguments for the unestablished church. It notes criticism of cathedral income, calls for reform of episcopal finances, and coverage of Australian Anglican patronage debates. The Sydney Times discusses a proposed general Australian Synod and patronage changes, with the Metropolitan condemning private advowson practices.
