Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book discusses the arguments for and against England's church rates, which were used for the upkeep and maintenance of church buildings. The author, who held political office at the time of the bookâs publication, argues the rates needed to be abolished and replaced with a more reliable funding source and provides evidence for persistent problems with the collection and distribution of funds via the existing system. While recognizing that for some, the rates were a source of funding for the poor, the author stresses that his bill would extend and clarify rights for the poor, guaranteeing a portion of seats were reserved for them free of charge at all times. The author suggests that this is a more effective system for ensuring the poor have access to religious instruction. The author also discusses the issue within the broader context of religious peace, as well as the distribution of rights and responsibilities between the church and the government. The insights presented in this book demonstrate a deep understanding of the complexities within the issues surrounding funding for England's churches, as well as the political battles that arose during this time.
