Switzer's peer reviewed article, published in the inaugural volume of the journal Church History in September 1932, traces how the Bangorian Controversy of 1717, provoked by Bishop Benjamin Hoadly's sermon denying any biblical warrant for church government, led King George I to prorogue the Church of England's Convocation before it could censure Hoadly, after which Convocation was not permitted to transact business again until 1852.FactsClaims Backed By This Source (13 claims)Comments (0)Reader Challenges (0 open reader challenges)FactsCitationAuthorWell-attestedGerald B.
