  Public Worship Regulation Act 1874 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Public Worship Regulation Act 1874 was an English Act of Parliament, introduced as a Private Member's Bill by Archbishop of Canterbury Archibald Campbell Tait, to limit what he perceived as the growing ritualism of Anglo-Catholicism and the Oxford Movement within the Church of England.
Before the Act, worship in the Church of England had been regulated by the Court of Arches with appeal to the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council.
Many were scandalised by such parliamentary interference with the course of worship and, moreover, by the supervision of a secular court, even though bishops had discretion to order a stay of proceedings.

With his wife, he was instrumental in organizing women's work upon a sound basis, and he did not a little for the healthful regulation of Anglican sisterhoods during the formative period in which this was particularly necessary.
The modification of the terms of clerical subscription (1865), the new lectionary (1871), the Burials Act (1880) were largely owing to him; for all of them, and especially the last, he incurred much obloquy at the time.
This proved to be the turning-point; and although the ritual difficulty by no means ceased, it was afterwards dealt with from a different point of view, and the Public Worship Regulation Act became practically obsolete.

 Musical Instruments in the Public Worship of God   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
In the performance of such an act to violate divine appointments or transcend divine prescription, to affirm the reason of a sinful creature against the authority of God, is deliberately to flaunt an insult in his face, and to hurl an indignity against his throne.
Since synagogue worship did not involve any of the ceremonial rituals of the temple, and since a study of the use of musical instruments in public worship in the Old Covenant shows that their use was ceremonial and Levitical, one would expect that synagogue worship would be practiced without the use of musical instruments.
Their only hope would be to prove from the synagogue worship that instruments also had a non-ceremonial worship function or to find warrant for musical instruments in public worship in the New Testament.

 Ritualism   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
From that moment the Ritualists have acted steadily in the belief that this legal decision was but affirming that which is the plain, historical sense of the words in the Rubric, and have pressed, often with rashness, sometimes with insolence, for the revival of all the ritual which this interpretation justified.
This last problem had been made critical by the famous Public Worship Regulation Act (1874), introduced in the House of Lords by the Archbishop of Canterbury, in disregard of the protests of the Lower House of Convocation, and declared n the House of Commons to be a "bill to put down ritualism" by Mr.
And the last act of Archbishop Tait, on his death-bed, was to suggest a truce to the fierce legal prosecutions which had imbittered the long controversy, by bringing an arrangement which would terminate the historic case of Martin vs.

 Religion
Religion is belief in the divine, supernatural, or sacred that results in worship; that worship itself; the institutional or culturally-bound expression of that worship; or some combination of these.
Another difficulty is that it tries to evaluate what act as the inner guiding principles within an individual, his "religion" as it were, by the fruits those principles produce in his attitudes, values, morality and actions.
While adherents worship a diverse pantheon of gods and goddesses, a great many of them believe those personalities to be facets of a single Deity, as in Bhakti (devotional) sects of Hinduism.

Some objection was made to the Public Worship Regulation Act, but I fancy the representations were not attended to at the time; there is a strong feeling in the Island against including the Isle of Man in these Acts of Parliament.
I think the Act requires a barrister-at-law should give an opinion on some point before it is entertained, and it was put into the Act that a Manx advocate should be in the same position as a counsel in England, or something of the kind.

 Dean Church, by D.C. Lathbury
By helping to pass the Public Worship Regulation Bill in the form which Lord Shaftesbury had given it, he was doing two things which could hardly be to his real mind.
He was widening the breach between the High Church party and the law; he hwas helping to give that party a degree of union from which it was, in the end, to derive a substantial increase of strength.
It needed the near prospect of deprivations, which the harvest of canonical difficulties which they could not but yield, to bring home to the ecclesiastical authorities the need of undoing, so far as was possible, their own handiwork.

There will be no discrimination against candidates either for ordination or for appointment to senior office in the Church of England on the grounds of their views about the ordination of women to the priesthood.
It is time to see whether that Act was principled, permanent and theologically defensible; or whether it was merely a product of that easy-going pragmatism which so often gives Anglicanism a bad name.

Indeed he was the first to be imprisoned under the Act which vainly tried to outlaw such ritual as wearing vestments, using incense, elevating the Host during Communion and having lighted candles on the altar.
Once a handful of clergymen had been imprisoned, the implementation of the Act was soon abandoned as it was not foreseen that clergy would be imprisoned or that the Act would be so counter productive.

Some were fought in the home as confession, sisterhoods, and segregated worship threatened to undermine patriarchal authority and "Victorian family values" (203).
Some battles were even fought in the courts as laws like the Public Worship Regulation Act of 1874 (PWRA) were used to prosecute clergymen for burning incense, lighting candles on the altar, or wearing "illegal stoles" (241).
After they were granted freedom of worship and some measure of support from Evangelicals and the middle class, the Ritualists abandoned their quest for a unified Church and became "content to see [their views] tolerated as the mark of a party" (258).

Mackonochie was on the point of being deprived of his benefice of St. Alban's, Holborn, for contumacy, the archbishop, then on his deathbed at Addington, took steps which resulted in the carrying out of an exchange of benefices (which had already been projected), which removed him from the jurisdiction of the court.
The archbishop died on the 3rd of December (Advent Sunday), 1882, leaving a legacy of peace to the Church.

In parishes across the diocese, especially in the poverty-striken East End, Anglo-Catholic ritualists were busy reviving the ceremonial practices and Marian devotions of the pre-Reformation Church despite the opposition of their bishop, Parliament, and even their own riotous parishioners.
There were demonstrations, criminal prosecutions for violation of the Public Worship Regulation Act, and occasional imprisonments: all bewildering to the moderate Evangelical who presided over this unseemly tumult.
All around him were ritualist parishes whose Anglo-Catholic priests, castigated by their bishop and denounced by the press, served the very people he was struggling to liberate.
