Download or read book Children of the Calling written by Eric Nelson Newberg and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2014-12-23 with total page 389 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume of essays, dedicated to Stan and Ruth Burgess, has been written by their colleagues and students to honor them as they retire after many years of distinguished service to Evangel University, Southwest Missouri State University, and Regent University. Several meanings can be subsumed under the title Children of the Calling. Stan and Ruth grew up in India, children of Pentecostal missionaries who felt they had "divine callings." They were influenced not only by the religious callings of their parents, but also by the cultural milieu of India. Though they did not personally take on board the specific missionary calling of their parents, they charted life maps that benefitted from the cross-cultural proficiencies developed in their childhoods in India, which to a large extent colored the influence they would have on their children, academic colleagues, and students, some of whom have submitted essays for this Festschrift. The diversity of subjects in this volume attests to the breadth of the scholarly work of Stan and Ruth Burgess. The first section narrates the major highlights of Stan and Ruth's academic biographies, the second presents pioneering studies of biblical studies and church history, and the third offers application-based research and personal reminiscences.
Download or read book South Asian Christian Diaspora written by Selva J. Raj and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-04-01 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The South Asian Christian diaspora is largely invisible in the literature about religion and migration. This is the first comprehensive study of South Asian Christians living in Europe and North America, presenting the main features of these diasporas, their community histories and their religious practices. The South Asian Christian diaspora is pluralistic both in terms of religious adherence, cultural tradition and geographical areas of origin. This book gives justice to such pluralism and presents a multiplicity of cultures and traditions typical of the South Asian Christian diaspora. Issues such as the institutionalization of the religious traditions in new countries, identity, the paradox of belonging both to a minority immigrant group and a majority religion, the social functions of rituals, attitudes to language, generational transfer, and marriage and family life, are all discussed.

Download or read book Christian Pluralism in the United States written by Raymond Brady Williams and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1996-11-13 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recent immigrant Christians from India are changing the face of American Christianity. They are establishing churches with Orthodox, Protestant and Catholic rites. This book is a comprehensive study of these Christians, their churches and their adaptation. Professor Williams describes migration patterns since 1965, and how the role of Indian Christian nurses in creating immigration opportunities for their families affects gender relations, transition of generations, interpretations of migration, Indian Christian family values, and types of leadership. Contemporary mobility and rapid communication create new transnational religious groups, and Williams reveals some of the reverse effects on churches and institutions in India. He notes some successes and failures of mediating institutions in the United States in responding to new forms of Christianity brought by immigrants.

Download or read book Becoming American Being Indian written by Madhulika S. Khandelwal and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2018-08-06 with total page 223 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the 1960s the number of Indian immigrants and their descendants living in the United States has grown dramatically. During the same period, the make-up of this community has also changed—the highly educated professional elite who came to this country from the subcontinent in the 1960s has given way to a population encompassing many from the working and middle classes. In her fascinating account of Indian immigrants in New York City, Madhulika S. Khandelwal explores the ways in which their world has evolved over four decades.How did this highly diverse ethnic group form an identity and community? Drawing on her extensive interviews with immigrants, Khandelwal examines the transplanting of Indian culture onto the Manhattan and Queens landscapes. She considers festivals and media, food and dress, religious activities of followers of different faiths, work and class, gender and generational differences, and the emergence of a variety of associations.Khandelwal analyzes how this growing ethnic community has gradually become "more Indian," with a stronger religious focus, larger family networks, and increasingly traditional marriage patterns. She discusses as well the ways in which the American experience has altered the lives of her subjects.
Download or read book The South Asian Religious Diaspora in Britain Canada and the United States written by Harold Coward and published by State University of New York Press. This book was released on 2012-02-01 with total page 315 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the experience of religious communities that have migrated from South Asia (India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh) to live in Britain, Canada, and the United States, three countries sharing a common language (English) and an interwoven history. The work introduces the migration history of Hindus, Muslims, and Sikhs along with the cultural nuances of these traditions. The contributors discuss the various communities' experiences that grow out of or are related to religion. The book shows how traditions are reformed or reinvented and how they are passed on, both through the family and through institutions. Issues related to public policy and minority status are also addressed. While the main focus is on the Hindu, Muslim, and Sikh communities, specific sections also cover South Asian Christians, the Zoroastrian diaspora, and new religious movements in the West led by South Asians. The book strikes a balance between stories and statistics in order to emphasize the narrative of the immigrants' experience. [Contributors include: Roger Ballard, Judith Coney, Harold Coward, Diana L. Eck, Yvonne Yazbeck Haddad, John R. Hinnells, Kim Knott, Gurinder Singh Mann, Sheila McDonough, Jørgen S. Nielsen, Joseph T. O'Connell, and Raymond Brady Williams.]

Download or read book South Asian Religions in the Americas written by John Y. Fenton and published by Greenwood. This book was released on 1995-02-28 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first survey and assessment of nearly all published materials concerning South Asian religious traditions in the Americas, this bibliography brings the field together under a synoptic view and critically depicts South Asian religious traditions from the multi-optic perspective of 925 publications. The work sets the parameters of an emerging field of scholarly research, the study of transplanted religious traditions, and defines a sub-field of the research, the religions of South Asian immigrants in the western hemisphere. For years to come, this study will define the discipline, be the primary bibliographical resource, and provide the most comprehensive description of South Asian religious traditions in the Americas. Chapter One evaluates the scholarship that has been produced about these transplanted traditions, noting subject areas that are reasonably well covered while pointing out research opportunities that remain to be exploited. Chapter Two reviews bibliographical resources for all the Americas. Subsequent chapters provide content summaries and critical evaluation for publications before 1960, general studies of the South Asian immigrant population, periodicals and newspapers, Hindus, Muslims, Ismailis, Sikhs, Jains, Christians, Jews, Zoroastrians, Buddhists, and others in the United States, Canada, the Caribbean, and South America. The volume offers evidence that South Asian religious traditions develop fundamentally new traits overseas according to the conditions of the host country. Further, in America, it concludes that Asian religious traditions are now American religious traditions contributing to a new American religious pluralism that fundamentally alters the religious milieu of America.
Download or read book Protestant Christianity in the Indian Diaspora written by Robbie B. H. Goh and published by State University of New York Press. This book was released on 2018-02-08 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first comprehensive study of Protestant Christian religious identities in the Indian diaspora. Using qualitative interview methods, Robbie B. H. Goh captures the experiences of Indian Protestants in ten different countries and regions, describing how Indian communal Christian identities are negotiated and transformed in a variety of diasporic contexts ranging from Canada to Qatar. Goh argues that Christianity in India, developed within discrete and varied "ecologies," translates in the diaspora into a model of small communal churches that struggle with issues of community maintenance, evangelical growth, and Pentecostal influences. He looks at the significance of Christianity's "abject" position in India, the interplay and tension between evangelicalism and Pentecostalism, Pentecostalism's insistence on religious endogamy (particularly among women), intrareligious differences along generational lines, the actions of Hindutva hard-line elements, and other factors, in the construction and transformation of diasporic religious identities and affective attachments to India.
