The Rev Newman Hall explains the distinction between religious and political dissenters. A religious Churchman follows doctrine, a political one aligns with political power to support church status. Some are both, especially bishops in Parliament, yet religious devotion can coexist with political effort. Dissenters also divide similarly between religious and political motives.
