Movements Within the Established Church Spark Debate
The article chronicles long Presbytery proceedings over Rosemary-street Church and a shift toward memorials to the Free Church. It notes Dr Cooke as chief speaker, fierce exchanges, and a Belfast Presbytery stance that unsettled state church authority while highlighting voluntaryism as a central issue. It also covers a pamphlet by Rev T Brock on Gorham and Exeter pros and cons, with Captain Kenney calling for reform or retirement from the Establishment.
