A Letter of affectionate remonstrance addressed to the members of the Established Church in Norwich and in Norfolk and occasioned by the proposed exclusive system of infant education

A local clergyman writes to members of the Established Church to oppose a proposed exclusive system for infant education, describing how existing infant schools have operated on broadly Christian, nonsectarian principles that admit children from varied backgrounds and teach basic scripture and moral truths. He recounts cooperative efforts between Dissenters and churchmen during public examinations and a recent instructional visit, criticizes anonymous and exclusionary calls to form a separate society, and urges inclusive oversight, shared financial support, and religious instruction acceptable to the wider Christian community to maintain unity and expand access to early education.
