Paper Read at the Winchester Diocesan Conference, 4th November, 1880, on the Infidelity and Indiffer

This volume contains a paper delivered at the Winchester Diocesan Conference on November 4th, 1880. The paper addresses the critical issue of infidelity and religious indifferentism among the artisan and humbler classes residing in cities and large towns during that era. It delves into the underlying causes contributing to the detachment of these societal segments from religious faith and practice.

Furthermore, the paper explores potential means and strategies for reconnecting these individuals with religion. This historical document offers insights into the social and religious concerns prevalent in 19th-century England, providing valuable context for understanding the challenges faced by the Church in engaging with the working class.
