Gladstone on Ritualism and Anglican State Church
The author critiques Mr Gladstone’s views on Ritualism, arguing he avoids decisive doctrinal questions and warns of Romanising danger while praising congregational freedom. The piece contends ritual should not imply superstition and questions the balance with Established Church uniformity and state patronage. It concludes that spiritual life may outgrow state constraints.
