Ecclesiastical notes on Irish Defence Association and Prayer-book reform
The Irish Protestant Defence Association urges synod electors to back revision of the Prayer-book focusing on Baptismal Regeneration, real presence in the sacraments, and the Ordinal Confession and Absolution. It warns the Prayer-book blends Protestantism and Romanism and calls out state policy as driving Romanist influence. Lord Harrowby criticizes defiance of liturgical changes and argues Establishment requires obedience to law, noting Ritualists and Evangelicals share the Establishment position in funding and legal status.
