Controversy Over Athanasian Creed and Disestablishment Debate
In Parliament the Athanasian Creed draws sharp lines as bishops clash over its value while the Burial Laws Amendment Bill prompts a probing debate on church state relations. The York Convocation and other bodies weigh in with concerns on equality for Nonconformists and the danger of turning churchyards into preaching spaces. Discussions drift to disestablishment and state endowments in Ceylon, with calls to sever church and state links and shift minister salaries to congregations.
