Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the optimistic years preceding Federation in 1901, the Melbourne-based Australian Church emerged as a progressive Christian movement to serve a brand-new nation. Galvanising many members of Melbourne’s social and political elite, activist Reverend Dr Charles Strong imagined the Australian Church becoming the national church, while addressing a broad social and political reform agenda, inspired by both theological and social liberalism. Their approach was described as ‘progressive’, ‘liberal’, ‘radical’ and ‘socialist’. Strong and his wife, Janet, founded or led organisations for causes ranging from peace to penal reform. They fought for urban slum improvements, rural village settlements, childcare and adult education, the minimum wage and women’s suffrage. Some organisations endure today; others left lasting legacies in Australian methods of addressing social inequality. Bringing together leading scholars of history, politics and religion, Charles Strong’s Australian Church celebrates the church’s radicalism, while taking account of debates and obstacles on the path to social reform.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ""I fear that Armistice Day did not bring any repentance, any sense of responsibility for the war, any sense of the awful scandal to Christendom with such a spectacle as that of Christians of one nation killing Christians of another nation--in the name of Christ."" The above quote is the closing word of the famous Armistice Day speech by the Rev. Charles Strong on Armistice Day in 1920. Now, a hundred years after the original Armistice Day, we honor Charles Strong and remember his ardent advocacy for peace. This volume remembering Charles Strong as a pioneer pacifist in the late 19th and early 20th century was launched as part of Pacifism Convocation held in his honor, 100 years after the original Armistice Day in 1918. Soon after Armistice Day in 1920, Charles Strong delivered his famous Armistice Day speech in which he questioned whether the mindset of Armistice Day was consistent with genuine Christian values. The heart of that speech is included in this volume. A number of the articles in this volume are by current members of the Charles Strong Trust Advisory Council. Some of these articles explore the culture and context of Strong's world; others include authors committed to the cause of peace. As a whole, this volume explores in depth the social, political, spiritual and moral dimensions of the profound Christian pacifism of Charles Strong. In the later nineteenth century and early nineteenth century, the Melbourne establishment was agitated by a Presbyterian clergyman, the Rev. Charles Strong. He stood out from, and even against, the societal values of the day. He challenged Church doctrines, proposed major social changes and, above all, combatted the practices of war and conscription. He was ejected by the Presbyterians and he founded his own church, The Australian Church (now defunct). As Australia approaches the centennial of Armistice Day 1918, the influence of Charles Strong is viewed from a number of perspectives by interested academics. -Emeritus Professor Robert Crotty, University of South Australia Norman Habel is a Professorial Fellow at Flinders University and an international Biblical scholar. He is currently chair of the Charles Strong Memorial Trust which was established when the Australian Church, founded by Strong, was sold in 1955. The aim of the Trust is to relate Christianity to other religions and world issues. See www.charlesstrongtrust.org.au

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the third and final volume of the landmark, award-winning series The Europeans in Australia that gives an account of settlement by Britain. It tells of the various ways in which that experience shaped imagination and belief among the settler people from the eighteenth century to the end of World War I.Volume Three, Nation, tells the story of Australian Federation and the war with a focus, as ever on ordinary habits of thought and feeling. In this period, for the first time the settler people began to grasp the vastness of the continent, and to think of it as their own. There was a massive funding of education, and the intellectual reach of men and women was suddenly expanded, to an extent that seemed dazzling to many at the time. Women began to shape public imagination as they had not done before. At the same time, the worship of mere ideas had its victims, most obviously the Aboriginal people, and the war itself proved what vast tragedies it could unleash.The culmination of an extraordinary career in the writing and teaching of Australian history, The Europeans in Australia grapples with the Australian historical experience as a whole from the point of view of the settlers from Europe. Ambitious and unique, it is the first such large, single-author account since Manning Clark’s A History of Australia.

Download or read book Regardfully Yours written by Ferdinand von Mueller and published by Peter Lang. This book was released on 2006 with total page 922 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Of German origin, Ferdinand von Mueller migrated to Australia in 1847. Government Botanist of Victoria for 43 years until his death in 1896, he was Australia's greatest scientist of the 19th century - a major contributor to international science, an intrepid explorer of parts of Australia previously unknown to Europeans, and a dominant figure in the scientific and intellectual life of his adopted country. Throughout his working life, Mueller kept up an enormous correspondence. Large numbers of letters by or to him have been located throughout the world, and edited for publication. These constitute a major new research tool for both Australian historians and historians of science. They are also of fundamental importance to Australian taxonomic botany, for Mueller introduced vast numbers of Australian plants to western science. This is the third and final volume of Mueller's selected correspondence. It covers the last two decades of his life - his most productive period from a scientific point of view - including his work as Government Botanist of Victoria; his multifarious contributions to taxonomy, biogeography and economic botany; his engagement with the exploration of inland Australia, New Guinea and Antarctica; his manifold links with international science; and his evolving personal circumstances as one of the leading citizens of his adopted country. This volume contains a substantial historical introduction, and a further extension of the editorial apparatus developed in previous volumes.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Throughout the long nineteenth-century the sounds of liberty resonated across the Anglophone world. Focusing on radicals and reformers committed to the struggle for a better future, this book explores the role of music in the transmission of political culture over time and distance. Following in the footsteps of relentlessly travelling activists – women and men - it brings to light the importance of music making in the lived experience of politics. It shows how music encouraged, unified, divided, consoled, reminded, inspired and, at times, oppressed. The book examines iconic songs; the sound of music as radicals and reformers were marching, electioneering, celebrating, commemorating as well as striking, rioting and rebelling; and it listens within the walls of a range of associations where it was a part of a way of life, inspiring, nurturing, though at times restrictive. It provides an opportunity to hear history as it happened.
