Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book is a collection of letters and speeches debating the Burials Bill of the 19th century, which sought to establish the right of nonconformists to conduct their own burial services in Church of England (Anglican) churchyards, causing both religious and political controversy. The letters debate the right of the Church to the free and undisturbed use of its property, the definition of 'odious,' and the evil of personal allusion in prayer to God, with one writer arguing that any civil or religious liberty should not come at the cost of the rights of others. The collected debates provide a unique historical perspective on the relationship between the Church of England and the state, as well as the role of religion in society.
