To the Sitting Chairman of the Bristol Bench of Magistrates
September 1904
Dear Sir
As one of the Senior Magistrates of this City, I am sorry to be compelled to decline the b voluntary payment of the Education Rate (Church School portion). I regard it as the revival in spirit of the Act of Uniformity of the year 1662 whereby some of my ancestors, men of University education and of high character, were compelled, for conscience sake, to resign their livings in the Church of England, and to worship God in woods and caves.
That Act, and others of a similar nature, have prevented the growth of the union which should exist between all Christian bodies. I hold that this new Act is another blow to the liberties of more than half of the English people; and, if it be not now resolutely protested against, it will be followed buy other measures having for their object the benefitting of one sect at the expense of the whole community: and the feeling of injustice thus engendered will; be injurious to the cause of true religion, and to the best interests of the Church of England itself
Yours very faithfully
P. F. Sparke Evans [facsimile signature]
