Book Synopsis The Old Catholic Movement by : C. B. Moss
Download or read book The Old Catholic Movement written by C. B. Moss and published by Apocryphile Press. This book was released on 2005 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Old Catholic movement is the best kept secret in Christendom. The fact that there is a valid (if "illicit") form of catholicism that is independent of Rome and which values local control seems scandalous to some and a cause for delight or even relief in others. The Old Catholic churches have branches-both official and unofficial-all over the world. They constitute one of the most interesting and diverse movements in Christian history, a movement worthy of greater visibility and academic attention. Here is the story of this unlikely legacy, from its beginnings in the fourteenth century through 1977-now back in print after twenty-eight years from Apocryphile Press.

Book Synopsis Professional Indian by : Michael Leroy Oberg
Download or read book Professional Indian written by Michael Leroy Oberg and published by University of Pennsylvania Press. This book was released on 2015-02-25 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Born in 1788, Eleazer Williams was raised in the Catholic Iroquois settlement of Kahnawake along the St. Lawrence River. According to some sources, he was the descendent of a Puritan minister whose daughter was taken by French and Mohawk raiders; in other tales he was the Lost Dauphin, second son to Louis XVI of France. Williams achieved regional renown as a missionary to the Oneida Indians in central New York; he was also instrumental in their removal, allying with white federal officials and the Ogden Land Company to persuade Oneidas to relocate to Wisconsin. Williams accompanied them himself, making plans to minister to the transplanted Oneidas, but he left the community and his young family for long stretches of time. A fabulist and sometime confidence man, Eleazer Williams is notoriously difficult to comprehend: his own record is complicated with stories he created for different audiences. But for author Michael Leroy Oberg, he is an icon of the self-fashioning and protean identity practiced by native peoples who lived or worked close to the centers of Anglo-American power. Professional Indian follows Eleazer Williams on this odyssey across the early American republic and through the shifting spheres of the Iroquois in an era of dispossession. Oberg describes Williams as a "professional Indian," who cultivated many political interests and personas in order to survive during a time of shrinking options for native peoples. He was not alone: as Oberg shows, many Indians became missionaries and settlers and played a vital role in westward expansion. As a larger-than-life biography of Eleazer Williams, Professional Indian uncovers how Indians fought for place and agency in a world that was rapidly trying to erase them.

Book Synopsis The Heart of a Pastor by : Sheryl A. Kujawa-Holbrook
Download or read book The Heart of a Pastor written by Sheryl A. Kujawa-Holbrook and published by Forward Movement. This book was released on 2010 with total page 452 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When a genial, red-headed Texan, recently ordained an Episcopal priest, set off in 1959 with his wife and three young children to do missionary work in post-World War II Okinawa, he didn’t know it was the beginning of a journey that would take him to assignments around the world and lead to his election as the twenty-fourth presiding bishop of the Episcopal Church. Edmond Lee Browning, known for his pastoral heart and his declaration of “No outcasts,” steered the church through challenging issues—racial, gender, and sexual equality, ordination of women to the episcopate, nuclear arms proliferation, war—and bitter controversy as traditional understandings of faith, human sexuality, and America’s place among the nations came under siege. An unflinching advocate for the powerless, he advised not only his fellow Episcopalians, but U.S. presidents and world leaders in a ministry that spanned the continents and earned him international love and respect. Sheryl A. Kujawa-Holbrook’s authorized biography, The Heart of a Pastor: A Life of Edmond Lee Browning, tells this remarkable man’s story through the Browning family’s own words, excerpts from historical documents, and the lively anecdotes and intimated recollections of those who know him and worked with him.
Book Synopsis A Spiritual Aeneid by : Ronald Arbuthnott Knox
Download or read book A Spiritual Aeneid written by Ronald Arbuthnott Knox and published by . This book was released on 1918 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This book is a religious autobiography. The matter of it is not original, and (I thank God) the conclusion of it is not original either. But, so long as minds differ, there must always be some difference in the most hackneyed of pilgrimages, as the pilgrims compare notes at the Confessio. I have tried to avoid all references that could be damaging to anybody but myself; if and where I have failed, I must take this opportunity to ask forgiveness. The publishing of autobiographies by the obscure is always, in any case, a target for criticism; but even obscure things have an interest; let us call it an autobiography. And before you say "self-advertisement" - think, what a bad advertisement. In explanation of the Aeneid-motif which runs through the chapter-headings and parts of the book; I had perhaps better give the obvious set of symbols. Troy is undisturbed and in a sense unreflective religion; in most lives it is overthrown, either to be rebuilt or to be replaced. The Greeks are the doubts that overthrow it. The "miniature Troy" of Helenus is the effort to reconstruct that religion exactly as it was. Carthage is any false goal that, for a time, seems to claim finality. And Rome is Rome."--

Book Synopsis Wicca and the Christian Heritage by : Joanne Pearson
Download or read book Wicca and the Christian Heritage written by Joanne Pearson and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2007-05-03 with total page 373 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is Wicca? Is it witchcraft, Paganism, occultism, esotericism, magic, spirituality, mysticism, nature religion, secrecy, gnosis, the exotic or 'other'? Wicca has been defined by and explored within all these contexts over the past thirty years by anthropologists, sociologists and historians, but there has been a tendency to sublimate and negate the role of Christianity in Wicca's historical and contemporary contexts. Joanne Pearson 'prowls the borderlands of Christianity' to uncover the untold history of Wicca. Exploring the problematic nature of the Wiccan claim of marginality, it contains a groundbreaking analysis of themes in Christian traditions that are inherent in the development of contemporary Wicca. These focus on the accusations which have been levelled against Catholisicm, heterodoxy and witchcraft throughout history: ritual, deviant sexuality and magic.
