| Description | In this address Elizabeth Taylor Cadbury remarks on the interest which she and her late husband George Cadbury had shared in the work of the Free Churches and the Religious Society of Friends. She describes the origins of the National Free Church Council in the late nineteenth century and provides a summary of men and women from different denominations who had 'stood for righteousness and liberty'. Taylor Cadbury also examines the public perception of Nonconformists in literary history before providing an account of her experiences as President of the National Free Council (Federal Council of the Free Churches) in 1925. Taylor Cadbury concludes her address with some words from her 1925 Presidential Address, remarking on the importance of 'a spiritual interpretation of life'. |
