Love—marriage—birth Control: Being a Speech Delivered at the Church Congress at Birmingham, October, 1921
Bertrand Edward Dawson, Viscount Dawson
Delivered in October 1921 at the Church Congress in Birmingham, 'Love—marriage—birth Control' is a speech by Viscount Bertrand Edward Dawson that addresses the complex social and moral issues surrounding love, marriage, and birth control. Dawson argues for a nuanced understanding of sexual relationships, emphasizing that sex can be both an expression of love and a means of personal fulfillment, rather than solely for procreation. He advocates for reasonable family planning and calls for open discourse on these topics, urging the Church and society to adapt to contemporary realities regarding sexual ethics and contraception.
