| Summary | "An Address to Lord Teignmouth, president of the British and Foreign Bible Society" by a country clergyman is a religious pamphlet written in the early 19th century. This work engages with the socio-political landscape of its time, particularly concerning the relationship between various Christian denominations and the established Church of England. The book primarily discusses the implications and potential risks of supporting Bible societies that include members from different theological backgrounds, arguing for the preservation of the Church's integrity and doctrine. In this address, the clergyman expresses concern over Lord Teignmouth's involvement with a society that he believes could undermine the Church of England. He argues that the mixing of different Christian sects under the banner of a unified Bible society poses a danger not only to the Church’s teachings but also to the purity of its doctrines. The author warns that the aims of the society may inadvertently promote divisive interpretations of the scriptures and attract unsavory associations among its members, potentially jeopardizing the Church's position and integrity. Throughout the address, the clergyman insists on the need for caution and skepticism in such collaborative efforts, valuing doctrinal fidelity over the mere act of scripture distribution.
