William Elgar was evidently sceptical of any branch of the church: he wrote of "the absurd superstition and play-house mummery of the Papist; the cold and formal ceremonies of the Church of England; or the bigotry and rank hypocrisy of the Wesleyan".
William Elgar era evidentemente escéptico con calquera rama da igrexa: escribiu sobre «a absurda superstición e o teatro choqueirada dos papistas; as frías e formais cerimonias da Igrexa de Inglaterra; ou a intolerancia e flagrante hipocrisía dos metodistas.»
