Can this article be moved back to Act of Toleration 1689 as with all other UK Acts of Parliament the title should omit the comma?-- Johnbull ( talk) 00:00, 29 November 2007 (UTC)
The short title of this Act is "the Toleration Act 1688". James500 ( talk) 14:56, 13 April 2012 (UTC)
The sentence "The Act granted freedom of worship to Nonconformists who had taken the oaths of Allegiance and Supremacy and formally rejected transubstantiation, i.e. Protestants who dissented from the Church of England such as Baptists and Congregationalists but not to Catholics or Quakers." puzzles me. A reliable text tells me that it was illegal to build Quaker meetinghouses until the Act of Toleration of 1688 (!). A quick reading of the section of the act titled "Quakers" seems to give them a way out of taking an oath, a simple declaration. So, are Quakers really covered, or are they lumped in with Catholics? Smallbones ( talk) 17:14, 3 May 2010 (UTC)
"Historians, (like Kenneth Pearl)..." then refers to an exam pony, "Cracking the AP History Exam." This is hardly a reliable historical publication. "Eaten by mice at night," indeed... 173.14.170.177 ( talk) 00:59, 10 January 2014 (UTC)
Would these protections have applied to Eastern Orthodox, Oriental Orthodox or Church of the East adherents? Were there any in England at the time?
The tricky question with these groups is that the EO and the OO never accepted Rome's dogmatic and scholastic definitions of transubstantiation, but they do accept a version of the concept itself ( metousiosis). As far as the Assyrians go, their Eucharistic theology is hard to pin down. Significantly, they don't use the words of institution. FiredanceThroughTheNight ( talk) 06:02, 24 May 2015 (UTC)
The title and article seem to be contradictory. 108.254.160.23 ( talk) 01:27, 26 April 2016 (UTC)
