Observations on Tithes: Shewing the Inconveniences of All the Schemes That Have Been Proposed for Altering That Antient Manner of Providing for the ... Church of Ireland (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
A practical look at reforming tithes and church finance, with ideas that mix policy and tradition.
This work surveys the difficulties of current tithe arrangements and weighs concrete proposals to improve how the established church is funded. It argues for reforms that aim to support religion while considering the rights of patrons, landowners, and clergy.
The text presents specific ideas to modernize the system, from adjusting how bishops are chosen to how parishes are organized. It weighs the potential benefits against objections, and outlines a path that could stabilize funding without dismantling church governance.- Examination of why existing tithe schemes fail to meet needs of clergy and communities
- Proposals for administrative changes within the church and state to enable reform
- Discussion of parish boundaries, livings, and the balance of power among patrons
- Considerations of how reform could affect landowners, farmers, and religious practice

Observations on Tithes (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 4 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book proposes reforms to address abuses in the Church of England, arguing that such reforms would make the church more useful in advancing religion. The author contends that the current practice of choosing Bishops is a "foolish, if not an impious" mockery and should be replaced with direct appointment by the King. The author also advocates for increasing the age requirement for Bishops to 40 and proposes that Bishops should have experience as parish priests before being appointed. The book further suggests that the poorer bishoprics should have "conderable preferments annexed to them by act of parliament" and discusses the impropriety of Bishops holding livings outside of their own dioceses. The author also proposes taking away the great tithes from bishoprics, deaneries, and prebends and restoring them to the vicarages to which they originally belonged. The book also includes proposals that no one should be a prebendary of two cathedrals and that pluralities of livings should be prohibited. The author believes that these reforms would make the Church of England more useful in advancing religion, increase the respect and attachment of the people to its clergy, and improve the condition of the inferior clergy.
