Book Synopsis The Moravians In Laborador by : J. Scott Husted PhD, Editor
Download or read book The Moravians In Laborador written by J. Scott Husted PhD, Editor and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2016-08-23 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a piece of history. What's more, it holds the power that the earliest missionaries walked in. It is a document of the salvation of a people. The Moravians were some of the first missionaries of modern times to heed the call and GO! Saved under the leadership of visionary Count Zinzendorf in Germany, the Moravians kindled a revival that lasted for over a hunderd years. During that time, men and women heard the call to bring the gospel into unknown lands before any other group would dare to go. This book is a foundational work describing the first efforts to bring the gospel to the inuit people of the far North. As such it is an important document. It is a window into culture, describing the Inuit people of Laborador as they were before European influence. But perhaps most importantly, it is a view into the spiritual birth of the people. It carries the initial spiritual keys to a people in history, and shows a people group first standing up to grasp their spiritual destiny.
Book Synopsis The Moravian Church and the Missionary Awakening in England, 1760-1800 by : J. C. S. Mason
Download or read book The Moravian Church and the Missionary Awakening in England, 1760-1800 written by J. C. S. Mason and published by Boydell & Brewer. This book was released on 2001 with total page 247 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Moravian Church became widely known and respected for its 'missions to the heathen', achieving a high reputation among the pious and with government. This study looks at its connections with evangelical networks, and its indirect role in the great debate on the slave trade, as well as the operations of Moravian missionaries in the field. The Moravians' decision, in 1764, to expand and publicise their foreign missions (largely to the British colonies) coincided with the development of relations between their British leaders and evangelicals from various denominations, among whom were those who went on to found, in the last decade of the century, the major societies which were the cornerstone of the modern missionary movement. These men were profoundly influenced by the Moravian Church's apparent progress, unique among Protestants, in making 'real' Christians among the heathen overseas, and this led to the adoption of Moravian missionary methods by the new societies. Dr Mason draws on a wide range of primary documents to demonstrate the influences of the Moravian Church on the missionary awakening in England and its contribution to the movement.
Book Synopsis The Story of Labrador by : Bill Rompkey
Download or read book The Story of Labrador written by Bill Rompkey and published by McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP. This book was released on 2005-05 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Newfoundland and Labrador are like two uneasy stepsisters, each with its own distinct identity, trying to share a common house. Using original research, including personal interviews, and drawing on his forty-year association with Labrador, Bill Rompkey explores this relationship in the context of the region's unique racial, geographical, political, and social history. Rompkey charts the rise of Labrador as a giant in Canada's near north. He looks at the impact of the region's vast natural resources, which includes the recently discovered nickel mine at Voisey's Bay, the largest in the world, and Ramah chert, a choice stone the Aboriginals traded thousands of years ago. The Story of Labrador is also the story of Innuit caribou hunters and people of the seal, French fishermen and Basque whalers, settlers, traders, and absentee governors. It is the story of great Canadian construction projects like the Quebec North Shore and Labrador Railway, the rich iron ore operations at Labrador City and Wabush, and Chuchill Fall, which was the largest hydro project in the world when it was created.

Book Synopsis German Moravian Missionaries in the British Colony of Victoria, Australia, 1848-1908 by : Felicity Jensz
Download or read book German Moravian Missionaries in the British Colony of Victoria, Australia, 1848-1908 written by Felicity Jensz and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2010-01-01 with total page 293 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Focusing on the six decades that German Moravian missionaries worked in the British colony of Victoria, Australia, this book enriches understanding of colonial politics and the role of the non-British other in manipulating practice and policy in foreign realms. Central to the transnational nature of the book are questions of identity and of how individuals, and the organisations they worked for, can be seen as both colluders and opposers within nation-state borders and politics. It analyses the ways in which the Moravian missionaries navigated competing agendas within the colonial setting, especially those that impacted on their sense of personal vocation, their practices of conversion, and their understandings of the indigenous non-Christian peoples in the settler society of Victoria.

Book Synopsis Maine to Greenland by : Wilfred E. Richard
Download or read book Maine to Greenland written by Wilfred E. Richard and published by Smithsonian Institution. This book was released on 2014-08-05 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Maine to Greenland is a testament to one of the world's great geographic regions: the Maritime Far Northeast. For more than three decades, William W. Fitzhugh and Wilfred E. Richard have explored the Northeast’s Atlantic corridor and its fascinating history, habitat, and culture. The authors’ powerful personal essays and Richard’s stunning photography transport readers to this vibrant region, joining Smithsonian archaeological expeditions and trekking in vast and amazing terrain. Following Fitzhugh and Richard’s travels north—from Maine to the Canadian Maritimes, Newfoundland and northern Quebec, then to Labrador, Baffin and Ellesmere islands, and Greenland—we view incredible landscapes, uncover human history, and meet luminous personalities along the way. Fully illustrated with 350 full-color photographs, Maine to Greenland is the first in-depth treatment of the Northeast Atlantic corridor and essential for armchair travelers, locals, tourists, or anyone who has journeyed there. Today green technology, climate change, and the opening of the Arctic Ocean have transformed the Maritime Far Northeast from an icy frontier into a global resource zone and an increasingly integrated international crossroads. In our rapidly converging world, we have much to learn from the Maritime Far Northeast and how its variety of cultures have adapted to rather than changed their environments during the past ten thousand years. Maine to Greenland is not only a complete account of the region’s unique culture and environment, but also a timely reminder that amidst the very real consequences of climate change, the inhabitants of the Maritime Far Northeast can show us grounded and sustainable ways of living.

Book Synopsis Daisy Wheel, Hexfoil, Hexafoil, Rosette by : Robyn S. Lacy
Download or read book Daisy Wheel, Hexfoil, Hexafoil, Rosette written by Robyn S. Lacy and published by Berghahn Books. This book was released on 2024-09-01 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The use of protective symbols, also known as apotropaic marks, are often part of folk magic traditions, appearing in homes, churches, on personal items, and even graves, across Europe, Australia, and North America. The most common and well-known of these marks is the hexfoil, otherwise known as the daisy wheel, witch hex, or rosette. Hexfoils have a history of use for personal protection and were carved both intentionally or graffitied into church pews and walls, bed frames, doors, and gravestones. This research sheds light on the use of this historic symbol to protect the bodies and souls of the deceased, across several thousand years and multiple countries.

Book Synopsis The Green Book of Language Revitalization in Practice by : Leanne Hinton
Download or read book The Green Book of Language Revitalization in Practice written by Leanne Hinton and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2013-06-13 with total page 468 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With world-wide environmental destruction and globalization of economy, a few languages, especially English, are spreading rapidly in use, while thousands of other languages are disappearing, taking with them important cultural, philosophical and environmental knowledge systems and oral literatures. We all stand to suffer from such a loss, none more so than the communities whose very identity is being threatened by the impending death of their languages. In response to this crisis, indigenous communities around the world have begun to develop a myriad of projects to keep their languages alive. This volume is a set of detailed accounts about the kind of work that is going on now as people struggle for their linguistic survival. It also serves as a manual of effective practices in language revitalization.Following are the key features: 23 case studies of language revitalization in practice, from Native American languages, Australian languages, Maori, Hawaiian, Welsh, Irish, and others, written primarily by authors directly involved in the programs; short introductions situate the languages, to help make the languages more 'real' in the minds of readers; each chapter gives a detailed overview of the various kinds of programs and methods in practice today; introductions and maps for each of the languages represented familiarize the reader with their history, linguistic structure and sociolinguistic features; and, strong representation in authorship and viewpoint of the people and communities whose languages are threatened, gives the readers an inside understanding of the issues involved and the community-internal attitudes toward language loss and revitalization. This book was previously published by Academic Press under ISBN 978-01-23-49354-5.
