The London Union on Church Matters (LUCM) moved to new rooms at 1 Adam Street, Adelphi, at the end of March 1853. Some meetings were still held in St. Martin’s Hall, Long Acre (about half a mile from the union rooms). For the rest of the decade, and into the 1860s, members kept Church questions in view, making recommendations, engaging in protests, publishing statements, and seeking to influence government policy, proceedings in parliament, and the actions of ecclesiastical authorities. Doctrine and worship, education, and the rights of the Church overseas as well as at home remained vital concerns, and LUCM leaders were also involved specifically in developments relating to cathedrals, church rates, marriage, church building and “removal,” simony, relations with foreign churches, clerical discipline, pew rents, the management of Church property and revenues, and religious services in unusual venues. Unions still had a high profile. In time, though, more thought had to be given to the condition of the LUCM and other unions, and options had to be considered with regard to scaling down the movement or generating a renewal of energy and purpose.
