Book excerpt: Excerpt from Contributions to the Ecclesiastical History of Connecticut A brief statement seems necessary by way of introduction to the somewhat miscellaneous compilation in the volume now offered to the public. At the annual meeting of the Association of New Haven West, in December, 1857, it was suggested by Rev. E. W. Robinson, then pastor of the church in Bethany, that the hundred-and-fiftieth anniversary of the General Association of Connecticut ought not to pass without some special commemoration. The suggestion was favorably received; and the assembling of the General Association in 1859, (the first General Association having been convened in 1709, ) was fixed upon as the best time for the purpose. A circular to the several Associations was issued, proposing certain arrangements, which, if acceptable, might be ratified by the General Association next to be convened. The General Association for 1858 was to be held at Norwich; and by the rule then in force, the meeting for the next year would have fallen to the Windham Association. But no place in the County of Windham seemed large enough for the accommodation of so great a concourse as might be expected to attend upon the proposed commemoration. The good people of Norwich, it was found, were ready to accept an arrangement by which the General Association for 1859 should have the benefit of their large and generous hospitality; and, by general consent, the meeting for 1858 was regularly transferred to Danielsonville, in West Killingly. Accordingly, the proposal for a commemoration came, in due form, before the General Association convened at Danielsonville on the third Tuesday in June, 1858.

This book was released on 2017-12-22 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Early Connecticut Marriages as Found on Ancient Church Records, Prior to 1800, Vol. 3 A preface to this, the Third Book of Early Connecticut Marriages. Seems hardly necessary in view of the fact that so little is to be added to what has already been stated in our two previous issues. And yet a word must be said if only to express our sincere gratification that through sufficient patronage this unique genealogical enterprise should have been found popular enough to warrant the issue of a third book of the kind without financial loss. However certain a gain all such productions always are to earnest seekers, we ourselves are not so sure but that its fate may yet be not unlike many another such - a drug on the market; still, with past encouragement and increasing interest the hope is augmented that as a natural consequence a fourth book may duly appear, leading to the ulti mate completion of this most helpful work.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Early Connecticut Marriages as Found on Ancient Church Records Prior to 1800, Vol. 5 The question of the abandoned farm seems to us at times to be more a question of the abandoned family than anything else. In other words a case wherein some well established family of to - day in the changing vicissitudes of our American life as is so common had lost all knowledge of its early career. Even the traditional had faded from view and that usual mainstay - a Bible record - but began a short and' uninteresting story some two or three generations back with the bare facts of a birth. A marriage and the children; just where, it did not seem as if of enough consequence to state., There are, we feel sure, many such instances all over the land of old American families that through the changing years and circumstances have become detached from their early anchorage, while the effort to find it again has seemed so hopeless as to induce the feeling of utter despair. It might seem therefore as if the disclosure of these early marriage records might serve a good purpose if they surely revealed the long hid den secret and fixed the locality in the minds and hearts of this genera tion. In our last issue - Book IV - we had occasion in the Preface to refer to the bright prospects of some definite action by the state authorities to repair and save the old records scattered about; and could wish now it was our pleasure to report steady progress in that direction. The ques tion seemed so vital and so completely removed from any thought of party prejudice that every member of the General Assembly might be presumed to have an interest as he had an interest in his own town's need. A definite policy for the reconstruction of the old books seemed to be the most natural conclusion to draw from the facts in hand. From our view therefore it is a real disappointment to have to chronicle here that when the special commission had, after months of labor, made its interest ing report, been given a hearing and had pressed its recommendations, said report met the same fate as many another unpopular though worthy cause. And so here seems to be the end of the suggestion which Governor Lounsbury so faithfully urged, with nothing apparently gained by the long discussion. The old records are now two years older than when this subject was first as a crying need advocated; while what is a more serious complication consists in the fact that in two old towns at least with rec ords of very ancient date, a private corporation has seen fit to make com plete abstracts of both land and probate for their own use, while the originals freely handled have suffered even more serious damage.

Download or read book The Oxford Handbook of the Age of Shakespeare written by R. Malcolm Smuts and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2016-06-30 with total page 946 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Oxford Handbook of the Age of Shakespeare presents a broad sampling of current historical scholarship on the period of Shakespeare's career that will assist and stimulate scholars of his poems and plays. Rather than merely attempting to summarize the historical 'background' to Shakespeare, individual chapters seek to exemplify a wide variety of perspectives and methodologies currently used in historical research on the early modern period that can inform close analysis of literature. Different sections examine political history at both the national and local levels; relationships between intellectual culture and the early modern political imagination; relevant aspects of religious and social history; and facets of the histories of architecture, the visual arts, and music. Topics treated include the emergence of an early modern 'public sphere' and its relationship to drama during Shakespeare's lifetime; the role of historical narratives in shaping the period's views on the workings of politics; attitudes about the role of emotion in social life; cultures of honour and shame and the rituals and literary forms through which they found expression; crime and murder; and visual expressions of ideas of moral disorder and natural monstrosity, in printed images as well as garden architecture.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What exactly is the Church Growth movement? This timely volume in the Counterpoints series addresses the history of the movement that has become such an enormous shaping force on the Western church today, and it explores--in a roundtable forum of leading voices--five main perspectives on the classic Church Growth movement: Effective Evangelism View - presented by Elmer Towns Gospel in Our Culture View - presented by Craig Van Gelder Centrist View - presented by Charles Van Engen Reformist View - presented by Gailyn Van Rheenan Renewal View - presented by Howard Snyder Each view is first presented by its proponent, then critiqued by the co-contributors. The interactive and fair-minded format allows the reader to consider the strengths and weaknesses of each view and draw informed, personal conclusions. Evaluating the Church Growth Movement concludes with reflections by three seasoned pastors who have grappled with the practical implications of Church Growth. The Counterpoints series presents a comparison and critique of scholarly views on topics important to Christians that are both fair-minded and respectful of the biblical text. Each volume is a one-stop reference that allows readers to evaluate the different positions on a specific issue and form their own, educated opinion.
