Lindsey resigned his vicarage in late 1773 and published a Unitarian prayer book in 1774, breaking from Church of England vows.
After failing to introduce changes at Catterick due to his vows, Lindsey resigned at the end of 1773. He then published a reformed prayer book in 1774, incorporating Unitarian alterations influenced by Samuel Clarke and John Jones, which served as the liturgical basis for the new congregation.
