Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Life and Labors of Mrs. Mary a Woodbridge The pages that follow are dedicated to a beautiful memory. Few know better than I do the remarkable intellectual aptitudes and the rare culture of Mary A. Woodbridge. These came to her alike by nature and nurture as will be shown by the brotherly pen of him who writes this book, and one who appreciated her as only a large and noble soul could do. Thanks to his loyal zeal her great life work will be adequately presented. It is like a golden thread running through the warp and woof of that rich fabric of events that we call the Woman's Crusade; but when I think of her whom I have known so long and loved so well, it is on none of these things that my mind rests. In happy reflection and fond recollection, I seem to see her where she moved, in an orbit of perpetual harmony. She always met everybody with kindly glance, with smiling lip, with warm handclasp, with deep, resonant tones of mother-hearted greeting. This in itself is one of the rarest gifts ever received or bestowed. It makes radiant the atmosphere of home and sends its pleasant light out into the great pathetic world. Perhaps I noted this more, because it was so like my household "Saint Courageous." I do not believe that any one ever came in contact with either of these two great characters without feeling that they had done him good and not evil all the days of his life during which he was privileged to share the sunshine of their presence.

Excerpt: ... giving up her paper--speech at chickering hall, new york--interviewed--conflict--division--pain. M. Renan says: "The multitude has no voice; it knows but to feel and to stammer; it needs an interpreter, a prophet, who shall speak for it. Who will be this prophet? Who will tell of its suffering, denied by those whose interest it is to be blind to them." To you, dear timid ones, has come this honor, to voice the sobs of little children, the heart-breaks of women, the groans of drunkards; to speak for those who cannot speak for themselves; to show that the Christian system finds its fullest scope, its most perfect development, under a popular form of government; that a popular form of government is only possible under the peaceable rule of the Lord Jesus Christ in human hearts. What a mission! what a dignity! Let every woman, with Mary, answer, "Behold the handmaid of the Lord."--/. Ellen Foster. "But," some one objects, "we are a 'Christian' Temperance Union. Let us not descend to politics." Yea, verily! Because we are Christians let us lift politics to a higher level. Reflect that upon Christ's shoulder the government should be; and remember that we live in a country where the majority rules by ballots rather than bayonets. To my thought this line of reflection leads irresistibly to the conclusion that Christians, in proportion as they are such, should be a constant factor in politics. Beloved sisters, we belong to a national movement; one that shall bring North and South side by side. We must put away old issues and battle-cries outworn. We must have a great unifying party along the lines of longitude. We mu

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Margaret Meuse Clay, who barely escaped a public whipping in the 1760s for preaching without a license; "Old Elizabeth," an ex-slave who courageously traveled to the South to preach against slavery in the early nineteenth century; Harriet Livermore, who spoke in front of Congress four times between 1827 and 1844--these are just a few of the extraordinary women profiled in this, the first comprehensive history of female preaching in early America. Drawing on a wide range of sources, Catherine Brekus examines the lives of more than a hundred female preachers--both white and African American--who crisscrossed the country between 1740 and 1845. Outspoken, visionary, and sometimes contentious, these women stepped into the pulpit long before twentieth-century battles over female ordination began. They were charismatic, popular preachers, who spoke to hundreds and even thousands of people at camp and revival meetings, and yet with but a few notable exceptions--such as Sojourner Truth--these women have essentially vanished from our history. Recovering their stories, Brekus shows, forces us to rethink many of our common assumptions about eighteenth- and nineteenth-century American culture.

Download or read book Women in Christian History written by Carolyn DeArmond Blevins and published by Mercer University Press. This book was released on 1995 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For much of Christian history, the role of women in the life of the church both local and universal has been downplayed, overlooked, or simply denied. Such a state of affairs of course also denies the testimony of the church's Scriptures regarding the key role women played in Jesus' own ministry and that of the early church. It denies or deliberately overlooks the significant role of women in the life of the church throughout the church's history, down to and including the present day. In recent years such denial of the significant place of women in Christian history of course has been addressed. But nowhere is there available a more comprehensive bibliography than the present one compiled by Carolyn Blevins. The reach of Blevins's bibliography is wide, from the earliest church to present times, across every ethnic and national boundary, and throughout virtually every segment of the church, Catholic and Protestant and stripes in between or beyond. This is in many ways but a beginning place. Yet with the help of Blevins's good work, students, teachers, researchers, historians, and all other seekers after the significant place of women in Christian history, have indeed a place to make a good beginning.
