Sunday closing of public houses in Wales debated
At Wood Street Chapel the Congregational Union discussed minister removals and pressed for entire Sunday closure of pubs in Wales. A Wales wide canvass allegedly showing overwhelming support was cited, with figures from Aberdare and North Wales cited to justify the policy. Deputations from Baptists and other nonconformists were welcomed, urging unity, conscience, and broader religious freedom amid ongoing Afghan War criticisms.
