Download or read book The Methodist Church in Africa Since 1820 written by Pianapue Early and published by . This book was released on 2020-07-30 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: THIS DELIGHTFUL BOOK tells the fascinating and inspiring story of the establishment and growth of the Methodist Church in Africa. The story begins when the first Methodist settlers (with African roots) arrived in today's Liberia in January of 1820. They landed on Providence Island near today's Monrovia. From that beginning, the book provides an historical study of the Methodist Movement in Africa, as an encouragement for people to study its important history. It identifies many lay people, pastors, and bishops who spread the Methodist movement in Africa. It also portrays Methodism in Africa as contributing to holistic liberation - that is, economic, political, and spiritual liberation, for all people. And it emphasizes how warmly Methodism is held within the hearts of the many indigenous Africans who follow this powerful form of Christianity. The book is graced by a Forward from David W. Greaves, Resident Bishop of the Alabama-West Florida Conference of the United Methodist Church. PIANAPUE KEPT EARLY is an Elder in Full Connection in the Alabama - West Florida Conference of the United Methodist Church. He is Pastor of Theodore First United Methodist Church in Theodore, Alabama. Originally from Liberia, he holds a Ph.D. in Practical Theology, plus several other graduate degrees. Pianapue enjoys going in mission trips and playing football (soccer) during his spare time. He is married to Dr. Claudette L. Williams.

Download or read book History of the Episcopal Church of Liberia Since 1980 written by D. Elwood Dunn and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2020-05-13 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study is a sequel to A History of the Episcopal Church in Liberia 1821–1980 (1992). It is a narrative shaped by contexts—context of the Episcopal Church and its Christian witness through the episcopacies of Diocesan Bishops George Daniel Browne, Edward Wea Neufville II, and Jonathan B. B. Hart; the context of a modernizing Liberia plunged into unprecedented political violence by a military coup d’etat in 1980 and a devastating civil war that ensued and consumed the country for some 14 years; and the context of shifting external ties with the American Church, the Liberian Episcopal community in the United States, and the Church of the Anglican Province of West Africa. D. Elwood Dunn also examines what the church’s contemporary history uncovers about Liberia’s social history in its juxtaposition of national identity issues with religious syncretism (a mixture of African traditional religions, Islam, some elements of Christianity, and basic human secularism), while suggesting challenges for the Episcopal Church’s Christian witness going forward. All of this is done in four concise chapters successively addressing the episcopate of Bishop Browne, a critical interregnum period between Browne and his successor, Bishop Neufville, the episcopate of Neufville, and initiating the episcopate of incumbent Bishop Hart. This is followed by a general conclusion and assessment of the church’s work. The study ends with an epilogue on the Episcopal Church that was, the Church that is, and the Church of the future.

Download or read book Reckoning Methodism written by Darryl W. Stephens and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2024-03-29 with total page 293 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reckoning Methodism addresses the brokenness of The United Methodist Church (UMC) in the United States. Homosexuality is but one of several fault lines with decades-long histories in this predominantly White denomination. Demographic shifts, racism, and imperialism are heavily implicated in the current state of division. What, then, is the true nature and mission of this church? The UMC is the public church divided. Distinct missional theologies arise from competing commitments and priorities. When Methodist programmatic initiatives—such as vital congregations, environmental witness, and volunteers in mission—fail to account for these differences, denominational unity is weakened. Constructively, this book seeks historical clarity, collective repentance, charismatic learning, and institutional courage as United Methodists reckon with inherited animosities and divisions. This book provides no answers or programmatic fixes. Rather, it provides possibilities for repairing past harms as United Methodists seek ways to continue living out their Wesleyan faith. Reckoning with the public church divided, we glimpse the nature and mission of the church—not only as it has been but also as it could be. Podcast interview with GCAH
Download or read book Liberia s First Civil War written by Edmund Hogan and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-12-13 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a comprehensive narrative history of Liberia’s first civil war, from its origins in the 1980s right through the conflict and up to the peace agreement and conclusion of hostilities in 1997. The first Liberian Civil War was one of Africa’s most devastating conflicts, claiming the lives of more than 200,000 Liberians, and sending shockwaves across the world. Drawing on a wide range of local and international sources, the book traces the background of the war and its long-term and immediate causes, before analysing the detail of the unfolding conflict, the eventual ceasefire, peace agreement and subsequent elections. In particular, the book shines a light on hitherto unseen first-hand Roman Catholic indigenous and missionary sources, which offer a rare intimacy to the analysis. Detailing the impact of Liberia’s individual warlords and peacemakers, the book also explains the roles played by non-governmental agencies, national, regional and international actors, by the UN, ECOWAS and the Organisation of African Unity, and by nations with special interests and influence, such as the USA and other West African states. This book’s detailed narrative analysis of the Liberian conflict will be an important read for anyone with an interest in the Liberian conflict, including researchers within African studies, political science, contemporary history, international relations, and peace and conflict studies.

Download or read book Methodism and American Empire written by David William Scott and published by Abingdon Press. This book was released on 2024-01-31 with total page 179 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Living into a less colonial way of being together. Methodism and American Empire investigates historical trajectories and theological developments that connect American imperialism since World War II to the Methodist tradition as a global movement. The volume asks: to what extent is United Methodists’ vision of the globe marred by American imperialism? Through historical analyses and theological reflections, this volume chronicles the formation of an understanding of The United Methodist Church since the mid-20th century that is both global and at the same time dominated by American interests and concerns. Methodism and American Empire provides a historical and theological perspective to understand the current context of The United Methodist Church while also raising ecclesiological questions about the impact of imperialism on how Methodists have understood the nature and mission of the church over the last century. Gathering voices and perspectives from around the world, this volume suggests that the project of global Methodism and the tensions one witnesses therein ought to be understood in the context of American imperialism and that such an understanding is critical to the task of continuing to be a global denomination. The volume tells a tale of complex negotiations happening between United Methodists across different national, cultural, and ecclesial contexts and sets up the historical backdrop for the imminent schism of The United Methodist Church.
