Reform Movements Rise Over Church in England
The piece notes high and low majorities in the House of Commons on May 3 and outlines two concurrent efforts for Established Church reform. It describes Willis's Rooms meetings on church discipline, lay clergy roles, a defense fund against Ritualism, and calls for Protestant unity, plus a Church Reform Society aiming to modify Uniformity Acts, Ecclesiastical Courts, patronage, and the Prayer-book. The Lambeth Palace gathering and other discussions signal ongoing agitation and divergent views on convocation powers and episcopal expansion.
