Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Memorial From the Committee of Missions of the Presbyterian Church of Nova Scotia, to the Glasgow Society for Promoting the Religious Interests of the Scottish Settlers in British North America: With Observations on the Constitution of That Society, and Upon the Proceedings and First Annual Report of the Committee of Directors In Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island, and Cape Breton, though there are compara tively few of the inhabitants who are not steadily at teched to some form of the Christian religion, many are exceedingly destitute Of the means of instruc tion; and, were it practicable for your Society to provide for them evangelical clergymen and respect able teachers, you would, doubtless, contribute to both their temporal and eternal welfare This, however, we believe to be a task more difficult than the inhabitants of an Older country, and par ticularly of Scotland, would be apt to suppose. With you, where the value of knowledge is dulyappreciated, instruction Of every kind has become the subject of regular organization; and wherever clergymen or teachers are needed, they are promptly supplied. But, in a new country, similar wants are not always connected with corresponding ex ertions. You are aware, that, even in Scotland, those who live without the Gospel, do not thirst for the water of life. In America, human nature is the same: and experience enables us to state, that, not unfrequently, after a settlement has become sufficiently strong to support the Gospel, it is in troduced with difficulty, and continued through much ministerial hardship and endurance. But this does not altogether proceed from a reluctance to listen to religious. Instruction. Various other circumstances contribute to render the enlargement of the Church difficult, and in many cases imprac ticable. As these originate In the state Of society in which the provinces are, we shall, upon that sub jcet, submit to you a few particulars, which will illustrate the preceding remark; and, perhaps, also, subserve your designs of benevolence.

Download or read book Scottish Presbyterianism and Settler Colonial Politics written by Valerie Wallace and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-02-01 with total page 311 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers a new interpretation of political reform in the settler colonies of Britain’s empire in the early nineteenth century. It examines the influence of Scottish Presbyterian dissenting churches and their political values. It re-evaluates five notorious Scottish reformers and unpacks the Presbyterian foundation to their political ideas: Thomas Pringle (1789-1834), a poet in Cape Town; Thomas McCulloch (1776-1843), an educator in Pictou; John Dunmore Lang (1799-1878), a church minister in Sydney; William Lyon Mackenzie (1795-1861), a rebel in Toronto; and Samuel McDonald Martin (1805?-1848), a journalist in Auckland. The book weaves the five migrants’ stories together for the first time and demonstrates how the campaigns they led came to be intertwined. The book will appeal to historians of Scotland, Britain, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, the British Empire and the Scottish diaspora.
Download or read book God s Empire written by Hilary M. Carey and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2011-01-06 with total page 447 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In God's Empire, Hilary M. Carey charts Britain's nineteenth-century transformation from Protestant nation to free Christian empire through the history of the colonial missionary movement. This wide-ranging reassessment of the religious character of the second British empire provides a clear account of the promotional strategies of the major churches and church parties which worked to plant settler Christianity in British domains. Based on extensive use of original archival and rare published sources, the author explores major debates such as the relationship between religion and colonization, church-state relations, Irish Catholics in the empire, the impact of the Scottish Disruption on colonial Presbyterianism, competition between Evangelicals and other Anglicans in the colonies, and between British and American strands of Methodism in British North America.
Download or read book An Educated Clergy written by Jack C. Whytock and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2008-02-01 with total page 495 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Scotland has long been known for its emphasis upon an educated clergy, yet little serious historical attention has been given to how this was actually fostered. This book begins to fill that gap. While a thoroughly historical study in Scottish church history and historical theology, the book also serves as a springboard for reflection and application to the work of theological education today with the evangelical Presbyterian and Reformed community.
Download or read book Highland Shepherd written by Alan Wilson and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 2015-07-27 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1786, the Reverend James MacGregor (1759–1830) was dispatched across the North Atlantic to establish a dissenting Presbyterian church in Pictou, Nova Scotia. The decision dismayed MacGregor, who had hoped for a post in the Scottish Highlands. Yet it led to a remarkable career in what was still the backwoods of colonial North America. Industrious and erudite, MacGregor established the progressive Pictou Academy, opposed slavery, and promoted scientific education, agriculture, and industry. Poet and translator, fluent in nine languages, he encouraged the preservation of the Gaelic language and promoted Scottish culture in Nova Scotia. Highland Shepherd finally bestows on MacGregor the recognition that he so richly deserves. Alan Wilson brings MacGregor and his surroundings to life, detailing his numerous achievements and establishing his importance to the social, religious, and intellectual history of the Maritimes.
Download or read book Reappraisals of British Colonisation in Atlantic Canada 1700 1930 written by Kehoe Karly Kehoe and published by Edinburgh University Press. This book was released on 2020-05-01 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection offers new perspectives on the legacy of British colonisation by concentrating on Atlantic Canada (Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Prince Edward Island), a region that was pivotal to safeguarding Britain's imperial ambitions, between 1750 and 1930. New and established researchers from Canada, Scotland and the United States engage with the core themes of migration, dispossession, religion, identity, and commemoration in a way that diverges markedly from existing scholarship. The research shines much-needed light on groups traditionally excluded from Britain's broader imperial narrative, highlighting the indigenous experience and the presence and agency of slaves, free people of colour and religious minorities.
