London Union on Church Matters (LUCM) members were determined to persevere. There was still much to do, and to their way of thinking it was their responsibility to take the necessary steps to do it. They attempted better to inform and guide the wider Church, and the people as a whole, especially through publications (as a result, reliance on the Morning Chronicle would increase). They looked again at the basis of the union movement and discussed measures that might promote closer cooperation, even as attitudes toward “Papal Aggression” and “Protestantism,” or toward proceedings in parliament and changes of government personnel, diverged. New challenges arose, as with the bishops’ joint statement on Church matters of 1851. Whether it was on episcopacy and the apostolic succession, cathedral reform, the Prayer Book, ritual and discipline, lay involvement in Church decision-making processes, or the status of visiting pastors from Europe and their home churches, leaders of the LUCM tried to fix on a policy, give it expression, and bring influence to bear on its behalf.
