		The essential necessity of this condition is apparent from the fact that the Church is the kingdom of truth, the society of those who accept the revelation of the Son of God.

	H-Net Review: John Smail on The Church of England in Industrialising Society: The Lancashire Parish of Whalley in the ...
		The third and fourth chapters examine, respectively, the church's role in philanthropy, both poor relief and education, and its ability to regulate morality by means of the church courts.
		As compared to earlier centuries, when the church played a major role as the institution through which wealthy parishioners sought to make provision for their less fortunate neighbors, the eighteenth-century church attracted very little in the way of new benefactions and was not an efficient manager of those it had inherited.
		Although apologists for the church claim that pluralism was a reasonable response to the miserable state of church livings, Snape's analysis shows that in fact pluralism had been less common in the seventeenth century when livings were poorer, and that, moreover, the practice tended to benefit those already in possession of decent incomes.

		An historic church from the late 1800s, newly restored and reopened and no longer in the Church of England, which may be why the religion here appears to be in good shape.
