Book excerpt: Here's the newest revised and expanded edition of Bishop Karl Pruter's standard guide to the independent Anglican, Catholic, and Orthodox Bishops located in North America.

Download or read book Independent Sacramental Bishops written by Rob Angus Jones and published by . This book was released on 2010-05 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book Rob Angus Jones takes an honest look at "the bogeyman of validity"-the central question of the authenticity of ISM episcopacy and ISM communities. Jones brings welcome new insight as he untangles the three critical issues that historically have been lumped into this "validity" conversation, reflecting on each issue in turn: the validity of ISM ordinations (the ability to be bishops); the commissioning of ISM leadership (the authority to be bishops); and the phenomena of post-ordination episcopal consecrations and the gifts of lineages of tradition they convey. With this book Jones hopes to spark a new conversation within the ISM and with other Christians about what it means to be Independent Sacramental Christians, cherishing our rich heritage while remaining open to the leadings of the Holy Spirit for a new day.
Download or read book Many Paths of the Independent Sacramental Movement Apocryphile written by John P Plummer and published by Apocryphile Press. This book was released on 2006-05 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Catholic Church is much more than the Roman Catholics. The Orthodox Church is more than the sects from Greece, Russia, Africa, and Syria. What are these independent churches? Explore the independent denominations and their adherents, who long for the sacraments but have been alienated by intransigent dogma and cookie-cutter churches. In this book, Dr. John Plummer explores the sacramental churches that are beyond and above and below the mainstream. Some are arch-conservative, while others are completely New Age. In this rich tapestry of churches you will find mystical schools, esoteric, and occult teachings. You will meet gay priests and bishops, and female priests and bishops. These paths less walked include liturgies reminiscent of simpler times, and a few that blow right past any limit or tradition. Each offers hope and worship, not for a "melting pot" of mass-market religion, but for those who hold fast to their individuality.
Download or read book Bishops Wives and Children written by Douglas J. Davies and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-04-15 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Christianity as a cultural force, whether rising or falling, has seldom been analysed through the actual processes by which tradition is transmitted, modified, embraced or rejected. This book achieves that end through a study of bishops of the Church of England, their wives and their children, to show how values fostered in the vicarage and palace shape family, work and civic life in a supposedly secular age. Davies and Guest integrate, for the first time, sociological concepts of spiritual capital with anthropological ideas of gift-theory and, alongside theological themes, use these to illuminate how the religious professional functions in mediating tradition and fostering change. Motifs of distant prelates, managerially-minded fathers in God and rebellious clergy children are reconsidered in a critical light as new empirical evidence offers unique insights into how the clergy family functions as an axis of social power in an age incredulous to ecclesiastical hierarchy. Bishops, Wives and Children marks an important advance in the analysis of the spirituality of Catholic, Evangelical and Liberal leaders and their social significance within a distinctive Christian tradition and all it represents in wider British society.

Book excerpt: The Malabar Independent Syrian Church is the smallest of the jurisdictions into which the St Thomas Christian community is divided today. It has, however, played a crucial role in the development of the Syrian Churches, whose stories can not be told without it.

Download or read book Playing God written by Mary Jo McConahay and published by Melville House. This book was released on 2023-03-14 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “A fascinating, investigative dive . . . both alarming and enlightening.” — Jane Mayer, author of Dark Money The definitive account of how a group of American Catholic bishops are using “dark money” and allying with ultra-right evangelicals in an attempt to remake America . . . Seasoned Catholic journalist and former war correspondent Mary Jo McConahay tells the story of how the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops have become one of the most formidable and reactionary forces in America — by campaigning to alter democratic institutions under the guise of religious liberty, and allying with major right-wing contributors such as the Kochs. In fact, many of the bishops—two-hundred and twenty-nine men, almost all white and beyond middle age—are such staunch opponents of Pope Francis that some US Catholics fear a schism with Rome. The influence of these bishops can be traced in recent news stories—such was when they maneuvered to deny the Eucharist to pro-choice politicians like President Biden. With their lay partners, the bishops also help shepherd cases into the Supreme Court that change the law of the land, as with Roe v. Wade. But as McConahay details, that’s just the tip of the iceberg. In an investigation reminiscent of Jane Mayer’s Dark Money, she uncovers an ominous and long-term political strategy of attacking secular, liberal democracy by waging war on democratic norms and institutions.

Book excerpt: How did a peddler of phony degrees who claimed to be a world famous bishop build a network of contacts that led to the assassinations of JFK, MLK, and RFK? Beyond that central question, what does this foray into the bizarre and esoteric say about our current state of religion and democracy? Through the life and world of Earl Anglin James, we explore the deep inner workings of religion and intelligence, revealing connections and relationships that were established long before Dallas, 1963, and have defined our destiny as a nation.
