Disestablishment Movement Debate and Meeting
A Leicester paper summary notes Mr Miall’s disestablishment proposal for the Church of England, urging parishes to control their funds and use them for social welfare while preserving liberty. A Cannon Street Hotel conference quotes speakers including Mr Miall and Mr Ellington, arguing the case for ending the state church link, detailing reasons from conscience to revenue use, and outlining working men’s committee aims and expected opposition.
