Clergy and State Church in Debate Over Irish and English Reform
A large gathering argues that the Established Church in England obstructs liberal reform and national unity. Speakers defend Nonconformists and call for disestablishment, disendowment, and removal of church influence from Parliament while praising liberty and religious variety. The session names a committee for the Liberation Society and endorses continued pressure for policy change.
