Adelaide Teague Case

Adelaide Teague Case (January 1, 1887 – June 19, 1948) was an American educator who is recognized on the calendar of saints of the Episcopal Church.

She attended Bryn Mawr College,[1] worked as librarian in the Episcopal Church's national headquarters, and taught at the New York Training School for Deaconesses.

She wrote in Liberal Christianity, "We need to know, not simply to guess, the information and attitudes of religious workers on such matters as: the use of the Bible in modern life, facts about the life of Jesus, the importance of religious dogmas, standards of sex relationship, war and peace, the organization and control of industry, property ownership, freedom of speech.

"[3] Case was part of the liberal catholic branch of Anglicanism, which combined progressive interpretations and social activism of the Bible with traditional practice.

A member of the Episcopal Pacifist Fellowship, she helped lead the Children's Peace Festival in 1936 and Educators Against the Peacetime Draft in 1940.

While teaching at Episcopal Theological School, Case opened up her house to student families and helped members of minority groups who didn't have homes.
