A quotation from Lyman Beecher
It was as dark a day as ever I saw. The injury done to the cause of Christ [by disestablishment], as we then supposed, was irreparable. For several days I suffered what no tongue can tell for the best thing that ever happened to the State of Connecticut. It cut the churches loose from dependence on state support. It threw them wholly on their own resources and on God.
Lyman Beecher (1775-1863) American minister, preacher, abolitionist
Autobiography, Vol. 1, ch. 51 “Downfall of the Standing Order” (1864) [ed. Charles BeecherMore about this quote: wist.info/beecher-lyman/83657/

This one slipped under my radar - stumbled across it by accident but would be happy if it works out - a step towards a fairer country where power might have more to do with merit than ancient customs https://humanists.uk/2023/12/06/disestablishment-of-the-church-of-england-bill-has-first-reading-in-parliament/ #humanist #disestablishment

CW: Disestablishment. Religious privilege. Angry
If Justin Welby thinks this, then he should immediately remove the bishops from the House of Lords.

#UK
I fully support the #disestablishment of the Church of England.#Religion is a personal choice, a private affair. It has no further role in society at large.
Therefore, no church employees should be involved in passing our laws in #Parliament, and religion instruction/worship must be removed from the #schoolsystem as this must be totally secular.
Calls grow to disestablish Church of England as Christians become minority
