Free-will offerings urged over pew rents in churches
The Congregational Union debated whether weekly offerings should fund church life rather than pew rents. Advocates argued weekly gifts align with Scripture and help the poor, while opponents noted local variations. Case studies from Warrington Huddersfield and Southport were cited, with broad support and a few dissenting voices. The burial services clause followed, opposing state control of churchyards and compulsory silence at interments.
