The passage questions Dr. Parker and the City Temple stance against Nonconformists. It argues Parker's attack harms unity, bolsters the Anglican Establishment, and damages Parker’s name by portraying dissenters as divided despite long held nonconformist unity.
The Congregational Union adopts a forceful resolution denouncing sacerdotal pretensions and confession as threats to spiritual religion. It defends disestablishment and disendowment, urges pastors and churches to promote simpler Christianity, and warns against state control and clericalism in education and church offices.
The author warns that a sway of the confessional would turn government into a tool for priestly supremacy in public and private life. If such machinery existed earlier, reforms like the Reform Acts and national education would not have occurred, and future generations may condemn current leaders for enabling religious control.
A Times letter argues over church disestablishment, distinguishing religious Dissent from political Dissent. It urges leaders to focus on earnest religious aims and maintain the Establishment as a religious institution with safeguards, not a political machine.
