Bryan Defeat Sparks New Push in Fundamentalism Fight
William J. Bryan faced a setback as a resolution to ban teaching evolution in Presbyterian schools failed by about two to one at the General Assembly in Indianapolis. He vowed to renew attacks on Darwinism while the assembly adopted a liberal substitute and prepared to hear the Fosdick case later. The bills and overtures committee rejected Philadelphia’s protest against Fosdick’s doctrines, recommending the New York presbytery report next year. The assembly also endorsed a world court resolution and maintained American membership relationships.
