| Summary | "Clerical Subscription and the Act of Uniformity" by Edward Hoare is a critical examination of the church's subscription to doctrine and ritual within the context of the Act of Uniformity, written in the mid-19th century. This work discusses the implications of clerical subscription on the Church of England's practices and doctrines, arguing that the current subscription is inadequately imposed by the state rather than arising from the church itself. Hoare aims to uphold the importance of subscription while addressing the need for reform to alleviate conscientious objections stemming from this requirement. In the text, Edward Hoare articulates the complex relationship between the Church of England and the state-enforced subscription detailed in the Act of Uniformity. He asserts that the subscription as it stands confuses the church's doctrine with its ritual practices, thereby posing a risk to essential Christian beliefs. Hoare advocates for a separate form of subscription that distinguishes between doctrinal agreement and ritual approval, suggesting that the past adherence to the Thirty-Nine Articles should take precedence over the stringent requirements of the Act. He points out the historical context of the Act and argues for its repeal, suggesting reforms that could provide greater freedom and clarity for clergy while preserving the integrity of church doctrine.
