Book excerpt: Excerpt from Autobiography, Poems and Prayers The ministry of Theodore Parker formed a unique epoch in the annals of Boston and the history of the church, of marked significance and far-reaching influence, not only in this country, but extending to many foreign lands. On the 21st of June, 1838, he was ordained as minister to the church in West Roxbury. This position was admirably suited to his condition and needs at that time. The congregation was small and the salary meager; but he was near the library of Harvard College and to the intellectual supplies of Boston. The surroundings were rural, and afforded him opportunity to enjoy his love of nature. He made friends of all his parishioners, most of whom were plain farmers, a few highly cultured, and was equally at home with them in their several interests. He was greatly beloved by them, and reciprocated their affection. In his quiet library he pursued his studies diligently all the week, sometimes sixteen hours a day for successive weeks. His Sunday services were a great pleasure to him, and most welcome to his hearers. Gradually he evolved his new views of religion, and gladly they took them in, and were not shocked thereat. Even the famous South Boston sermon on "The Transient and Permanent in Christianity," preached in 1841, did not abate their loyalty to him.

Download or read book The Book of Common Prayer written by Alan Jacobs and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2019-05-28 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "While many of us are familiar with such famous words as, "Dearly beloved, we are gathered together here." or "Ashes to ashes, dust to dust," we may not know that they originated with The Book of Common Prayer, which first appeared in 1549. Like the words of the King James Bible and Shakespeare, the language of this prayer book has saturated English culture and letters. Here Alan Jacobs tells its story. Jacobs shows how The Book of Common Prayer--from its beginnings as a means of social and political control in the England of Henry VIII to its worldwide presence today--became a venerable work whose cadences express the heart of religious life for many.The book's chief maker, Thomas Cranmer, Archbishop of Canterbury, created it as the authoritative manual of Christian worship throughout England. But as Jacobs recounts, the book has had a variable and dramatic career in the complicated history of English church politics, and has been the focus of celebrations, protests, and even jail terms. As time passed, new forms of the book were made to suit the many English-speaking nations: first in Scotland, then in the new United States, and eventually wherever the British Empire extended its arm. Over time, Cranmer's book was adapted for different preferences and purposes. Jacobs vividly demonstrates how one book became many--and how it has shaped the devotional lives of men and women across the globe"--.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Autobiography and Poems In this connection, I cannot omit to mention the kind encouragement and able assistance rendered by Bishop Charles D. Evans of Salem, in revising my manuscript for the press. I have endeavored to narrate, in simple and unadorned language, the experience of one whose highest ambition is to be a faithful Latter-day Saint, and to tell the peace and joy which a knowledge of the Gospel has brought to one of its humble followers; and if its perusal should cause any, unacquainted with the religion of Jesus Christ, to seek to know if these things are so; or if my experience should lead some drooping one to take fresh courage; or be a source of pleasure; if the young should learn from it, that "Wisdom's ways are pleasant, its paths peace," and should be induced to walk therein, I shall feel amply rewarded; although I scarcely dare to think that God Would give to one so small, Aught that could cheer another on, Or help His cause at all. But oh! I prize above all else, The power to chase away Sorrow or pain from those I meet While trav'ling life's highway. The Author.
