Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book documents the 1903 establishment of the Bishopric of Birmingham in England. In the late 19th and early 20th century, amid concerns over religious strife, poverty, and the need for church reform in Birmingham, efforts were made to divide the expansive Worcester diocese and create a new one centered in Birmingham. This book details the efforts of notable figures such as the Archbishop of Canterbury, the Bishop of Worcester, and Viscount Cobham, among others, to raise funds and garner support for the new bishopric. The author explores the arguments for and against the division, including debates over the allocation of funds, the need for increased episcopal oversight, and the potential impact on the clergy and laity. Ultimately, the book provides valuable insights into the challenges and opportunities faced by the Church of England during a period of significant social and religious change.
