The State and the Church Lordship over Public Funds
The piece argues that state funding guarantees church subordination and that public aid to ecclesiastical bodies corrupts spiritual independence. It outlines tithe values, rental charges, and clerical incomes, citing 1830s reforms and the Liberal critique of church property increases and opaque finances. It notes the Tithe Commutation Act of 1838 and calls for transparent, secular use of national resources.
