| Description | This typescript is a developed version of Taylor Cadbury's address which she delivered to the National Free Church Council in July 1925. Taylor Cadbury delivered this revised version of her address to the congregation at St. Martin's Parish Church in Birmingham. Similar in focus to her earlier address, Taylor Cadbury considers how Christian people 'accepted, through lack of knowledge, a mistaken opinion of the character of God, and His Son, Jesus Christ'. She asks the congregation if they had read the Bible as a biography to gain an understanding of God based on 'the interpretation of those who lived and talked with Him'.
This version of Taylor Cadbury's address concludes with a quotation by Whittier which is not featured in the other three copies of this paper surviving amongst her public addresses. This illustrates how Taylor Cadbury developed her addresses to suit different audiences. |
