Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Life and Correspondence of William Connor Magee, Vol. 2 of 2: Archbishop of York, Bishop of Peterborough It will be seen from the following letters that the Bishop had determined to make an effort to get something done by Parliament to remove the abuses of ecclesiastical patronage. This subject was connected with his name to the end of his days, though his efforts never succeeded so far as to carry any Bill through both Houses. On April 21, 1874, he brought forward his motion for a Select Committee in the House of Lords, and made an elaborate and powerful speech upon the subject. The key-note of this, and of all his subsequent efforts to reform the law of patronage, will be found in the following sentence from this speech: In a word, the aim of legislation should be to give practical effect to the principle that in the matter of patronage, property is the incident of a trust, and not trust the incident of a property. ["Speeches and Addresses," p. 151.] Lord Cairns rose immediately at the close of the Bishop´s speech and assented on the part of the Ministry to the appointment of a Select Committee, and thus prevented further debate. Before this Committee was appointed the Archbishop of Canterbury brought in his Bill for the regulation of public worship, constantly referred to in the Bishop´s letters as P. W. R. I quote the following paragraph from the Bishop´s speech on the second reading of the Bill: We are told that we should govern the Church by fatherliness. Now I must be allowed to say there is something very one-sided in this cry for fatherliness from the bishops when they meet with no filialness, and I should like to have some reciprocity.
