Church History
An
Alphabetical List of the Signatures to a Remonstrance Addressed to the Archbishops and Bishops of the Church of England on Occasion of
the Report of the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council In Re Herbert v. Purchas (1871). In what must be one
of the longest petitions ever submitted to the English episcopal bench, a vast number of priests of the Church of England protest against
the Purchas jugdment in order to 'preserve the ancient liberty of the Church of England'.

Worth Noting
Credit, Debt and Inequality: 'John Humphreys: The Archbishop of Canterbury,
Dr. Rowan Williams is not exactly a stranger to controversy. People who do that job seldom are, indeed you could argue that Archbishops
are meant to stir things up occasionally - there may be a bit of that when Rowan Williams speaks in the House of Lords today on a debate
that he is leading dealing with debt and poverty and inequality; and he is with me.'
