Act of the Parliament of Great Britain From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Nonconformist Relief Act 1779[1] (19 Geo. 3. c. 44) was act of the Parliament of Great Britain. The act allowed any Dissenter to preach and teach on the condition that he declared he was a Protestant; took the Oaths of Allegiance and supremacy; and took the Scriptures for his rule of faith and practice.[2][3] It relieved dissenting ministers from the obligation to subscribe to the Thirty-nine Articles.
