Synopsis

This book examines the origins of the controversy between the British state and the Church of England over the Management Clauses Question. It is a question that has narrowed to a single point: the issue of management and control of Church of England schools, and whether those schools should be governed by local clergy with appeals to the Bishop, or if they ought to adopt one of two Management Clauses proposed by the Committee of Council on Education. The author's point of view is clear: he believes it is an assault on religious liberty for the government to attempt to force either Management Clause on Church of England schools, and that the church must exercise its right to constitute and administer these schools as it sees fit. The book meticulously details the historical context of this controversy, provides an in-depth analysis of all the issues involved, and makes a compelling case against the government's position. It is a must-read for anyone interested in British history and the history of education, the role of the church in society, civil and religious liberty, and the relationship between the state and religious institutions.
