Summary | "The Truth about Church Extension" by Anonymous is a critical examination published in the mid-19th century. The work analyzes and exposes perceived inaccuracies and misleading information found within the Census Reports on Religious Worship and Education, particularly relating to the standing of the Church compared to dissenting denominations. The author aims to refute claims that the Church has failed and to demonstrate its actual growth and relevance in society. The opening of the text presents a passionate discourse on the Church's evolving perception over the past few decades, emphasizing a notable turnaround in public sentiment. The author describes how earlier societal attitudes viewed the Church as outdated, highlighting the clergy's scandals and the rise of dissenting religious practices. However, with the resurgence of church-building efforts and the supposed inefficiency of dissenting bodies, the writer argues for a reevaluation of their actual influence and growth, stressing that recent statistics have been manipulated to paint a misleading picture of the Church's status in contemporary England.
