| Description | In this address, Elizabeth Taylor Cadbury refers to her 'great interest' in Lent as a member of the Religious Society of Friends. She examines the significance of Lent 'as a special season for Self-examination, self-denial, fasting and prayer' and explores its meaning and implications for those of Christian faith. Taylor Cadbury considers the relationship between religion and science with reference to historical figures who had experienced 'the reality of Religion', concluding with remarks on the 'reassuring miracle of resurrection'.
Taylor Cadbury's comments here are particularly interesting when examined in relation to one of her earlier addresses in which she considers why the Religious Society of Friends excluded religious festivals from the 'spiritual life' of Quakers. |
