Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Establishment and Church Reform: A Paper Read at a Meeting of the Society of the Holy Spirit on January 22, 1901
I confess to some prejudice or predisposition against disestablish ment. In the first place, it practically involves disendowment. The Church may of course be despoiled, but I cannot think it right for a particular generation of her members voluntarily to abandon property with which she has been entrusted for the purposes of her work. Then, again, when I attempt to forecast the probable effect of disestablish ment on what may be called Church politics, I see no likelihood that it would include any advantage to that party which attaches particular importance to the position of the Church of England as a part of the Church Catholic.
