Love-Marriage-Birth Control

Love—Marriage—Birth Control is speech by Bertrand Dawson, Lord Dawson of Penn, during the Church Congress in Birmingham in October 1921. The book, with a foreword by Lord Dawson himself, tackles two distinct yet intertwined themes: sex love and child love. In the first part, Lord Dawson emphasizes the importance of understanding healthy sexual relationships within a well-ordered Christian community. He advocates for knowledge and provision to promote a positive view of sex love. The second part delves into the controversial topic of birth control (or more accurately, conception control). Lord Dawson’s argument sparks debate, but his call for reasoned consideration remains relevant. The book sheds light on the significance of love, marriage, and responsible family planning, making it a valuable contribution to discussions on these vital aspects of human life.
