Contention on Church Establishment and Rural Policy
A defender urges Canon Girdlestone’s attack on rural Church neglect and calls for social reform in landowner relations and farm welfare. The piece critiques bishops and clergy for siding with landowners, warns of waning Anglican influence in villages, and contrasts Anglican establishment with calls for a broader public role. It notes political church entanglements at Hinckford and hints at possible Athanasian Creed debates in Parliament.
