Excerpt from An Address on the Connection of Church and State: Delivered at Sion College on February 15, 1868
It may be useful, therefore, to examine how far the fundamental separation of Church and State is involved in any proposal yet brought forward; and whether the question of doing what is best for Ireland need of itself involve such alarm on the one side, or such exultation on the other, as would be naturally engendered by the abolition of the Irish Establishment, simply on the ground of the supposed evil of its connection with the State.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the complex relationship between Church and State, arguing for the benefits of their connection. The author contends that the State should recognize and support religious expression, while also guiding and controlling it. This connection provides a means for religious communities to operate uniformly and constantly, ensuring their presence in all parts of the country, including those where they might otherwise struggle to establish a presence. The book explores historical and philosophical arguments for and against this connection, ultimately concluding that the benefits of providing clergy in underserved areas, fostering interfaith dialogue, and ensuring religious freedom outweigh the potential drawbacks.
