Book excerpt: The Victorian period in Scotland was remarkable, with rapid changes and immense wealth coexisting alongside entrenched conservatism and great poverty. For the churches also, the Victorian period was a time of transformation - with every assumption being challenged and tested. In this context it is not surprising that some churches fragmented, and the Free Church was one of them.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The economic, religious and cultural transformation of the northern Highlands in the years 1790 to 1850, can be linked directly to the Clearances - wholesale evictions of highland sub-tenants and small farmers by English landlords, who wished to make way for more profitable sheep farming. The low esteem in which English speakers regarded the Gaelic community and its language is evident. Yet, far from fighting change, the clergy stands accused of abetting the landlords by preaching the need for individual repentance and submission, thus securing a population passive towards the changes. Taking evidence from the far north of Sutherland and Ross - the epicentre of the crisis, author David Paton uses unusual and revealing evidence, including Gaelic poetry and descriptions of the emotional effects of a more complex and subtle picture. The form of Presbyterianism that sustained the Gaelic community in the Northern Highlands in the face of attack by an alien culture, simultaneously prevented effective protest and hindered the expression of a sense of injustice.

Download or read book Land, Faith and the Crofting Community written by Allan W. MacColl and published by Edinburgh University Press. This book was released on 2006-04-20 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book probes the deep-rooted links between the land, the people and the religious culture of the Scottish Highlands and Islands in the nineteenth century. The responses of the clergy to the social crisis which enveloped the region have often been characterised as a mixture of callous indifference, cowering deference or fatalistic passivity. Allan MacColl's pioneering research challenges such stereotypical representations of Highland ministers head-on. Land, Faith and the Crofting Community is the first full-scale examination of Christian social teaching in the nineteenth-century Gaidhealtachd and addresses a major gap in the historical understanding of Gaelic society. Seeking to lay bare the existing myths by a wide-ranging analysis of all the denominational, theological and social factors at play, this study boldly overturns the received scholarly and popular interpretations. A ground-breaking work, it explores a substantial but under-utilised field of evidence and questions whether or not Highland Christians "e; both clergy and laity "e; were committed to land reform as an engine of social improvement and conciliation. The Christian contribution to the development of a distinctively Highland identity "e; which found expression during the Crofters' War of the 1880s "e; is delineated, while wider links between theology and social philosophy are examined from beyond the perspective of the Highlands.

Download or read book Gleanings of Highland Harvest written by Murdoch Campbell and published by Covenanters Press. This book was released on 2016-06-26 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Revd Murdoch Campbell was a pastor in Glasgow and the Highlands until 1968. This reprint of one of his best-loved books remembers an affectionate and spiritually exercised people whose words and deeds give wonderful insights into Christian experience. They felt awe at God's tender condescension, and joy in His presence, whether in day-to-day prayer or, for some, in rapt converse with Him. Yet without a written record they would soon be forgotten, just as their psalmody, the only instance in Europe of its musical form, has now all but vanished. The book is full of incident and atmosphere, and people you feel you know. Biographical details and historical background have been added.

Book excerpt: Today, the Long Island is, to many, Britain's "last stronghold of the pure Gospel"; a place still defined by heartfelt religion – a community where, for instance, the threat of a Sabbath ferry service can still arouse considerable passion. In this sparkling account of island faith – from unknown, Megalithic builders to a war of Free Church schism waged on the Internet – award-winning journalist John MacLeod outlines the gripping religious history of this Hebridean community. This is a story that has never been related before, by any author, from the dawn of this island community to the present day – the tale of a people as indomitable as their landscape and a faith as profound as the Hebridean sea.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How is the one gospel related to the many cultures of the world? This question, debated within the ecumenical movement from the outset, is the force of the World Council of Churches' 1996 world conference on mission and evangelism. In these short pamphlets, edited by Christopher Duraisingh, Christians from a diversity of cultural contexts describe and reflect on what it has meant for the gospel to be proclaimed and lived out within the setting of their own culture, thus pointing to both the richness and challenges of this encounter. Early missionaries saw the Highlands and islands of northern Scotland as a 'wintry region' inhabited by 'wild and uncivilized Scots' who needed to be subdued by the preaching of the gospel and the suppression of Gaelic language and culture. Yet from the 19th century on, Protestant churches in the Highlands embraced Gaelic as a medium of spiritual communication and forged a strong bond between language and a distinctive evangelical spirituality. How can these churches face the growing decline and rejection of this culture -- so much of which is of their own making -- in the changing world of today?
