Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of the Deaconess Movement in the Christian Church When we consider the fact that at least one hundred and forty Deaconess Institutions (inclusive of the various branch Homes) have been founded within the last fifteen years in the United States alone, ninety of which are controlled by the Methodist Episcopal Church, and that the number of deaconesses has increased during this period to over eighteen hundred, it is clear that a presentation of the historical development of this promising and rapidly-growing movement has become a matter of necessity. I had hoped that a more capable pen would take up the task; but as year after year slipped by without an attempt in this direction, I concluded that I ought to comply with the desire of the Central Deaconess Board of the German Methodist Conferences, and the request of a number of friends of the cause, and therefore have undertaken to write this volume. Ten or twelve years ago several valuable books on the Deaconess Cause appeared in this country, namely: "Deaconesses in Europe and America," by Jane M. Bancroft Robinson, Ph. D., (1890); "Deaconesses, Biblical, Early Church, European, American," by Lucy Rider Meyer (1889); "Deaconesses, Ancient and Modern," by Rev. Henry Wheeler (1889); "The Deaconess and her Vocation," by Bishop J. M. Thoburn (1893). About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt: ...Bishop Thoburn began to advocate the Deaconess Cause, and Mrs. Lucy Rider Meyer threw the weight of her powerful personality into the scales, it did not prove difficult to inaugurate the movement, which was to take a powerful hold on the Church in a comparatively short space of time. In 1886, Dr. J. M. Thoburn (at present Bishop Thoburn), who had been sent to India in 1859, and who is beyond question one of our greatest missionaries, returned to America to restore his health. The voyage proved to be of historic significance. The misery of women in India was uppermost in his mind during the trip, and, after much prayer, the thought came to him that the introduction of the Deaconess Work might bring the desired relief. Millions of the women of India are debarred from participating in the sacrament of the communion, and this deplorable state of affairs will necessarily continue until one of their own sex can administer this sacrament. Whenever the Mission Conferences in India convene, this matter is usually discussed, and the question has often been asked whether it be possible to revive the Deaconess Order of the primitive Church, and thus to create an office which would empower the female missionaries to administer the holy communion to the Zenana women, who are kept in such strict seclusion that missionaries are not allowed to approach them for that purpose. If in the primitive Church laymen (e. g., midwives) were permitted to administer baptism in case of urgency, why should female missionaries be prohibited from administering baptism to Zenana women who have been prepared for admission into the Church, and desire to be baptized? And if baptism is admissible under such circumstances, why not also communion? Dr. Thoburn declared that he...

Download or read book Sanctified Sisters written by Jenny Wiley Legath and published by NYU Press. This book was released on 2019-10-22 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first history of the deaconess movement in the United States In the late nineteenth century, a new movement arose within American Protestant Christianity. Unsalaried groups of women began living together, wearing plain dress, and performing nursing, teaching, and other works of welfare. Modeled after the lifestyles of Catholic nuns, these women became America’s first deaconesses. Sanctified Sisters,the first history of the deaconess movement in the United States, traces its origins in the late nineteenth century through to its present manifestations. Drawing on archival research, demographic surveys, and material culture evidence, Jenny Wiley Legath offers new insights into who the deaconesses were, how they lived, and what their legacy has been for women in Protestant Christianity. The book argues that the deaconess movement enabled Protestant women—particularly single women—to gain power in a male-dominated Protestant world. They created hundreds of new institutions within Protestantism and created new roles for women within the church. While some who study women’s ordination draw a line from the deaconesses’ work to the struggle for women’s ordination in various branches of Protestant Christianity, Legath argues that most deaconesses were not interested in ordination. Yet, while they didn’t mean to, they did end up providing a foundation for today’s ordination debates. Their very existence worked to open the possibility of ecclesiastically authorized women’s agency.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1976, Paul Johnson’s exceptional study of Christianity has been loved and widely hailed for its intensive research, writing, and magnitude—“a tour de force, one of the most ambitious surveys of the history of Christianity ever attempted and perhaps the most radical” (New York Review of Books). In a highly readable companion to books on faith and history, the scholar and author Johnson has illuminated the Christian world and its fascinating history in a way that no other has. Johnson takes off in the year AD 49 with his namesake the apostle Paul. Thus beginning an ambitious quest to paint the centuries since the founding of a little-known ‘Jesus Sect’, A History of Christianity explores to a great degree the evolution of the Western world. With an unbiased and overall optimistic tone, Johnson traces the fantastic scope of the consequent sects of Christianity and the people who followed them. Information drawn from extensive and varied sources from around the world makes this history as credible as it is reliable. Invaluable understanding of the framework of modern Christianity—and its trials and tribulations throughout history—has never before been contained in such a captivating work.
