Excerpt from Gorham V. Bishop of Exeter: The Judgment of the Judicial Committee of Privy Council, Delivered March 8, 1850, Reversing the Decision of Sir H. J. Fust The questions proposed by the Bishop related principally to the Sacrament Of Baptism, and were very numerous, much varied In form, embracing many points of difficulty, and often referring to the answers given to previous questions. Mr. Gorham did not at first Object to the nature of this examination; but during its progress he at various times remonstrated against the manner in which it was conducted, and the length to which it extended. We are, however, relieved from the necessity of consider ing whether he could, or could not, lawfully have declined to submit to such a course of examination; because he did in fact answer nearly all the questions, and no complaint is made of his not having answered them all.

Why were so many religious images and objects broken and damaged in the course of the Reformation? Margaret Aston's magisterial new book charts the conflicting imperatives of destruction and rebuilding throughout the English Reformation from the desecration of images, rails and screens to bells, organs and stained glass windows. She explores the motivations of those who smashed images of the crucifixion in stained glass windows and who pulled down crosses and defaced symbols of the Trinity. She shows that destruction was part of a methodology of religious revolution designed to change people as well as places and to forge in the long term new generations of new believers. Beyond blanked walls and whited windows were beliefs and minds impregnated by new modes of religious learning. Idol-breaking with its emphasis on the treacheries of images fundamentally transformed not only Anglican ways of worship but also of seeing, hearing and remembering.
