Book Commonwealth Catholicism

Download or read book Commonwealth Catholicism written by Gerald P. Fogarty and published by . This book was released on 2001 with total page 744 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Commonwealth Catholicism is the first comprehensive history of the Catholic Church in the State of Virginia. Distinguished historian Gerald P. Fogarty tells the story of Virginia's Catholics in the state's history, from the colonial period to the present. Using archival resources, Fogarty brings to life the events and characters that comprise the Church's colorful and often turbulent history. Catholics in Virginia, as in other parts of the South, were a tiny minority from the beginning and remained so for much of their history. They gathered into small, isolated communities, often without a resident priest. The Catholic population in Virginia was so small, in fact, that there was only one diocese until 1974. Catholics were often suspected of unpatriotic sympathies by their Protestant neighbors and tried to remain unnoticed, blending in, as far as possible, with the prevailing Protestant culture. Full religious tolerance for Virginia Catholics did not come until the Revolution. Reconstructing the available documentary evidence, Fogarty tells the story of these early communities in full detail. Fogarty also brings to life many of the prominent actors in the unfolding drama. Father Matthew O'Keefe, the pastor of the Norfolk region from 1852 until 1886--a period of intense Know Nothing activity--is one example. O'Keefe was asked by two men calling at the rectory door to minister to a dying man. Reaching the Elizabeth River on the edge of Portsmouth, Virginia, the two said that the dying man lay further on. O'Keefe "took a pair of revolvers from his coat, placed the men under citizen's arrest, and marched them into Portsmouth where he turned them over to the sheriff. They subsequently confessed that they had been hired to assassinate him." Commonwealth Catholicism, a considerable accomplishment from one of the most prominent historians of American Catholicism, will remain for many years the definitive study on the subject of Virginia's Catholic heritage.

Download or read book Disciples of Antigonish written by Peter Ludlow and published by McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP. This book was released on 2022-09-15 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For generations eastern Nova Scotia was one of the most celebrated Roman Catholic constituencies in Canada. Occupying a corner of a small province in a politically marginalized region of the country, the Diocese of Antigonish nevertheless had tremendous influence over the development of Canadian Catholicism. It produced the first Roman Catholic prime minister of Canada, supplied the nation with clergy and women- religious, and organized one of North America’s most successful social movements. Disciples of Antigonish recounts the history of this unique multi-ethnic community as it shifted from the firm ultramontanism of the nineteenth century to a more socially conscious Catholicism after the First World War. Peter Ludlow chronicles the faithful as they built a strong Catholic sub-state, dealing with economic uncertainty, generational outmigration, and labour unrest. As the home of the Antigonish Movement – a network of adult study clubs, cooperatives, and credit unions – the diocese became famous throughout the Catholic world. The influence of “mighty big and strong Antigonish,” as one national figure described the community, reached its zenith in the 1950s. Disciples of Antigonish traces the monumental changes that occurred within the region and the wider church over nearly a century and demonstrates that the Catholic faith in Canada went well beyond Sunday Mass.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The history of London is so important in national and indeed international terms, it seems extraordinary that this is the first general bibliography of the subject to appear. It contains over 22,000 selected references to books and articles on the history of London, from the Dark Ages to the beginning of the Second World War. The whole of the former GLC area plus the City is covered. Arrangement is by subject, and there is a substantial analytical index. Material for the bibliography was collected from specialist libraries all over London and beyond. It is a starting point for any enquiry about London's development over the centuries, whether from the academic historian, the amateur or the general enquirer. A supplement is planned, to cover new material on the period.

Book A Church Built on the Rock

Download or read book A Church Built on the Rock written by Ken Riedl and published by Ken Riedl. This book was released on 2003-04-01 with total page 372 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 150-Year History of St. Henry's Catholic Church, Watertown,Wisconsin. 1853-2003. The only previous history of St. Henry’s Catholic Church of Watertown was written in German in 1903, at the time of the 50th anniversary of the congregation. One hundred years later, a new and comprehensive history of the congregation has been written to coincide with the 150th anniversary of St. Henry’s. The product of over two years of research, this updated history documents and adds perspective to the significant achievement of the one and one-half centuries of the church itself and also of the faith and devotion of its members over the years. Making lighthearted use of names of books of the Bible to organize the content of this history, the author covers all aspects of the history of St. Henry’s: the church, school, parish center, rectory, and cemetery; the societies and organizations; the varied religious services; the few absolute commands of Christ and the many rules of the Church; the devotions that nurtured one’s religious life and also the events that tested one’s faith. Particular emphasis is placed on the early decades of the 150 year history.

Book Foundations of Anglican Evangelicalism in Victoria

Download or read book Foundations of Anglican Evangelicalism in Victoria written by Wei-Han Kuan and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2019-05-20 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For more than half a century, the Anglican Diocese of Melbourne was unquestionably the most rigorously evangelical and missions-oriented diocese in Australia. The Diocese of Sydney, in that same period, was decidedly broader in theological and liturgical practice. How and why did Melbourne move in one direction, while Sydney in the other? This study suggests that the answers are to be found in four vital contributors: local churches, evangelical societies, theological colleges, and diocesan bishops. For three broad periods of history between 1847 and 1937, the presence of these four contributors is uncovered, described, and evaluated for the Diocese of Melbourne. Evangelical activism, theological reflection, and leadership are each shown in their contemporary contexts to help us understand how people with gospel passion sought to respond faithfully to their times. This is the question of vision, leadership, and strategy at the heart of this study: "What makes for long-term evangelical continuity over a hundred-year period?"

Book River of Destiny

  • Release : 1955
  • ISBN :
  • Pages : 368 pages

Download or read book River of Destiny written by Joseph Bayliss and published by . This book was released on 1955 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Saint Marys River is a very busy waterway, connecting Lake Superior to Lake Huron. This book traces the long and colorful history of the most important river in the upper Great Lakes, with stops on four of its largest islands, and thorough history of the ancient settlement of Sault Sainte Marie, at the head of the river.The book was originally published by Wayne State University Press in 1955, but has long since been out of print. It was written by Joseph and Estelle Bayliss, in collaboration with the eminent historian of the Great Lakes, Dr. Milo Quaife. Original publication was timed to coincide with the centennial celebration of the 1855 opening of the "Soo Locks." The locks made the rich copper and iron ore deposits of the Lake Superior region available to the nation's growing industrial base-just in time to meet the needs for armament of the Union Army in the Civil War. And almost a century after that, about 90% of the iron ore used to build the ships, tanks, and other weaponry needed by the U.S. Armed Forces in WWII came from Lake Superior mines and passed through the locks and down the Saint Marys River to steel mills on the lower lakes. That's why the authors chose the title "River of Destiny." The French were the first Europeans to explore the upper Great Lakes. Etienne Brulé, a protégé of Samuel Champlain, was the first Frenchman to set eyes on Lake Superior, in about 1620. When he arrived at the site of present-day Sault Ste. Marie, he found a thriving village of Ojibwa living by the large rapids. Since "sault" is French for "rapids," these people were called "saulteurs" by the early French explorers and missionaries. Henry Schoolcraft arrived about two centuries after Brulé. He married Jane Johnston, who was half Ojibwa, and while living at the Sault and working as Indian Agent, he collected legends and lore of the Ojibwa-information that was used by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow to write "Song of Hiawatha." The story told in River of Destiny:The Saint Marys starts with the first European contact, and runs through mid-twentieth century. The Chippewa County Historical Society is proud to be able to make this classic history available to a new generation, who will find it to be both readable and reliable. This edition contains a dozen images that were not in the original edition, plus a new Foreword by Bernie Arbic.
