Church Reform The Only Means to That End, Stated in a Letter to Sir Robert Peel, Bart., First Lord of the Treasury

"Church Reform" by Richard Carlile is a persuasive argument for significant change within the Church of England. Carlile imagines a future where the Church transforms from a place of confusing beliefs into a source of learning and ethical development for all. The book presents conversations between Carlile and important leaders, including the Bishop of London and Sir Robert Peel relating to society, where Carlile pushes for reforms, highlighting the Church's failure to properly educate its followers and how this lack of knowledge leads to disagreement. He questions the Church’s use of symbolic interpretations of the Bible, claiming that a clearer grasp of spiritual ideas along with knowledge and logical thinking, is required for real change. Carlile's vision is to establish a morally sound and education-focused Church that can unite people under shared goals.
