was

refused to Christian bodies; in

ground that there was some special

theological or political merit in

the Church of England (community not

recognised by other Christian communities).

All Church of England Endowments

date back to a

time when

the

Church of England alone enjoyed full

were, to recreate an endowment in these

days of religious Equality. If we create this Endowment, it will be hard to resist the demands of other religious

bodies, and the Church of England only one official

among many, not privileged

Government is guided in selecting one

Christian community for endowment by

its numerical insignificance, perhaps

the Church of England is not the first

candidate in that respect.
