- Description:
- Various materials relating to the Woodrow evolution controversy. The first is a "Declaration of Testimony" against the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church in the United States (PCUS), condemning the Assembly's recent actions regarding James Woodrow and Columbia Theological Seminary's views on evolution. Handwritten notes appear in the margins of the typewritten declaration. Also includes a handwritten letter titled "An UnPresbyterian Baby," author unknown, which mocks the "Grounds of Complaint or Appeal" put forth by Reverend William Adams D. D. of Augusta against the Augusta Presbytery and Rev. James Woodrow. A Southern Presbyterian article titled "Subduing the Agitation"; by J. William Flinn discusses the degrees of tolerance taken by [28th and 29th] Presbyterian Church in the U.S. General Assembly around the South towards discussing the evolution controversy.
