‘The case of the church at Henley in Arden is most cordially recommended by Isaiah Burt and Thomas Morgan, Birmingham. (1 sheet, 1p.) 13 February 1825 Isaiah Birt (1758-1837) was born in Coleford, Gloucestershire,the son of a Baptist minister. He was educated at Bristol College from where he followed his father into the Baptist ministry. Birt enjoyed tremendous success as a pastor in Devonport and elsewhere. He was an outspoken advocate of civil rights and sympathetic to the French Revolution. In 1815 he moved to Canon Street Chapel in Birmingham and founded Sunday Schools, ragged schools and satellite missions. Poor health forced him to retire to Hackney in London in 1827 but even then he played a leading role in founding a congregation in Shoreditch. |
