Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Church Bells of England Many books have already been published on the subject of Church Bells, and in particular those Of England, but as yet there hardly exists an adequate manual of the subject; much that has been written being now out of date, or lacking in comprehensiveness, or marred by superficial and inaccurate treatment. The present volume is an attempt by one who has made our Church Bells his special study for over twenty years, to set forth within a convenient compass the more important aspects of a subject which from its many-sidedness and its still living interest appeals perhaps to a more extensive class of readers than any other branch of English archaeology.

Download or read book Walk with Me written by Kate Clifford Larson and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2021-08-02 with total page 361 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: She was born the 20th child in a family that had lived in the Mississippi Delta for generations, first as enslaved people and then as sharecroppers. She left school at 12 to pick cotton, as those before her had done, in a world in which white supremacy was an unassailable citadel. She was subjected without her consent to an operation that deprived her of children. And she was denied the most basic of all rights in Americathe right to cast a ballotin a state in which Blacks constituted nearly half the population. And so Fannie Lou Hamer lifted up her voice. Starting in the early 1960s and until her death in 1977, she was an irresistible force, not merely joining the swelling wave of change brought by civil rights but keeping it in motion. Working with the Student Non-Violent Coordinating Committee (SNCC), which recruited her to help with voter-registration drives, Hamer became a community organizer, women's rights activist, and co-founder of the Mississippi Freedom Democratic Party. She summoned and used what she had against the citadelher anger, her courage, her faith in the Bible, and her conviction that hearts could be won over and injustice overcome. She used her brutal beating at the hands of Mississippi police, an ordeal from which she never fully recovered, as the basis of a televised speech at the 1964 Democratic Convention, a speech that the mainstream partyincluding its standard-bearer, President Lyndon Johnsontried to contain. But Fannie Lou Hamer would not be held back. For those whose lives she touched and transformed, for those who heard and followed her voice, she was the embodiment of protest, perseverance, and, most of all, the potential for revolutionary change. Kate Clifford Larson's biography of Fannie Lou Hamer is the most complete ever written, drawing on recently declassified sources on both Hamer and the civil rights movement, including unredacted FBI and Department of Justice files. It also makes full use of interviews with Civil Rights activists conducted by the Smithsonian and the Library of Congress, and Democratic National Committee archives, in addition to extensive conversations with Hamer's family and with those with whom she worked most closely. Stirring, immersive, and authoritative, Walk with Me does justice to Fannie Lou Hamer's life, capturing in full the spirit, and the voice, that led the fight for freedom and equality in America at its critical moment.
Download or read book Broken Idols of the English Reformation written by Margaret Aston and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2015-11-26 with total page 1994 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why were so many religious images and objects broken and damaged in the course of the Reformation? Margaret Aston's magisterial new book charts the conflicting imperatives of destruction and rebuilding throughout the English Reformation from the desecration of images, rails and screens to bells, organs and stained glass windows. She explores the motivations of those who smashed images of the crucifixion in stained glass windows and who pulled down crosses and defaced symbols of the Trinity. She shows that destruction was part of a methodology of religious revolution designed to change people as well as places and to forge in the long term new generations of new believers. Beyond blanked walls and whited windows were beliefs and minds impregnated by new modes of religious learning. Idol-breaking with its emphasis on the treacheries of images fundamentally transformed not only Anglican ways of worship but also of seeing, hearing and remembering.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: J. J. Raven's learned and comprehensive work on the "Bells of England" arouses much interest, as it is the last work of a distinguished antiquary, who has accomplished much for the study of English archaeology. For a period of half a century J. J. Raven has been engaged on the fascinating study of campanology. He was one of the pioneers of the science, and therefore wrote this monograph with authority and accurate knowledge. We have many volumes on the bell-lore of different counties. The late H. T. Ellacombe recorded the bells of East Anglia. Thomas North those of five of the midland shires, Mr. Stahlschmidt did Kent and Surrey, Mr. Cox, Buckinghamshire, and the Rev. T. M. N. Owen, Huntingdonshire; other workers are engaged upon other counties; and J. J. Raven has now told the story of the bells of England as far as it was possible to do so with all available information, and a very graphic story it is. The remains of the British period, the notices of bells by Saxon chroniclers, lamentations over the destruction of Norman bells, owing to the falling of many central towers, the gradual development of shape, inscriptions, foundry marks, and Longobardic lettering, the story of early foundries, such as those of London, York, King's Lynn, Wokingham and Reading, the history of change-ringing; legends and bell law, are some of the subjects of this volume. Enthusiastic bell-lovers are rare: we doubt not that J. J. Raven's book will greatly increase their number, and lead others to complete these chronicles of the bells of England by climbing the belfries and reading the inscriptions on the bells of some counties which have not been thoroughly explored. -Magazine of Christian Art [1907]

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Handel called Britain 'The Ringing Isle' because he heard bells ringing everywhere he went. Behind the quintessentially English sound of bells ringing lies a unique way of hanging bells and a special way of ringing them that evolved in the late sixteenth century. Ringing has since developed and spread, with some 6,000 towers worldwide with bells hung in the English style, and most of them in England. Over 40,000 active ringers keep alive the traditions and skills of change ringing that have been handed down over many generations. The book is an introduction to the world of bells and bell-ringing. It explains how bells are made and how a ringing installation works. It explains the nature of change ringing, which has mathematical as well as musical aspects. It provides insights into the ringing community its origins and culture as well as its relationships with the Church and the community.
