In London Jackson had to confront the growing problem of ritualism. He never had any sympathy for it and initially hoped that the Public Worship Regulation Act of 1874 would secure peace and conformity in the church. However, faced with the intransigence of both the Church Association on the one side and the ritualistic clergy on the other he came to believe that the act led to lengthy litigation, unfair penalties, and public sympathy for the priests who were punished. By 1881, taking his lead from Tait, he had decided to use his powers of veto to stop prosecutions. Though stern and reserved in manner, guarded and cautious in speech, and of a naturally conservative cast of mind, Jackson was widely respected as a conscientious and fair-minded church leader. Sometimes designated an evangelical, he was in fact a protestant low-churchman in the mould of A. C. Tait..."
