Download or read book Transforming the Caribbean Family and Society written by Charles Jason Gordon and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2022-11-04 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the past few decades, poverty, underdevelopment and consistent attacks on traditional values have severely ruptured Caribbean family life. The escalation of intrafamily and societal violence, alongside increasingly influential gender identity and abortion lobbies, give only partial evidence of its deterioration. But families hold a God-given key to recovery within themselves: discovering and living out their authentic identity as domestic Church. In these pages, Archbishop Gordon illustrates how families can weather those storms and come to healing through mercy, honesty, inner work and growth in individual and family holiness. His vision of the missioned family as a powerful agent of transformation in the wider Church and society through cooperation with other families, parishes and ecclesial movements and communities may prove an essential strategy for our times.

Download or read book Christian Ritual and the Creation of British Slave Societies 1650 1780 written by Nicholas M. Beasley and published by University of Georgia Press. This book was released on 2010-01-25 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study offers a new and challenging look at Christian institutions and practices in Britain’s Caribbean and southern American colonies. Focusing on the plantation societies of Barbados, Jamaica, and South Carolina, Nicholas M. Beasley finds that the tradition of liturgical worship in these places was more vibrant and more deeply rooted in European Christianity than previously thought. In addition, Beasley argues, white colonists’ attachment to religious continuity was thoroughly racialized. Church customs, sacraments, and ceremonies were a means of regulating slavery and asserting whiteness. Drawing on a mix of historical and anthropological methods, Beasley covers such topics as church architecture, pew seating customs, marriage, baptism, communion, and funerals. Colonists created an environment in sacred time and space that framed their rituals for maximum social impact, and they asserted privilege and power by privatizing some rituals and by meting out access to rituals to people of color. Throughout, Beasley is sensitive to how this culture of worship changed as each colony reacted to its own political, environmental, and demographic circumstances across time. Local factors influencing who partook in Christian rituals and how, when, and where these rituals took place could include the structure of the Anglican Church, which tended to be less hierarchical and centralized than at home in England; the level of tensions between Anglicans and Protestants; the persistence of African religious beliefs; and colonists’ attitudes toward free persons of color and elite slaves. This book enriches an existing historiography that neglects the cultural power of liturgical Christianity in the early South and the British Caribbean and offers a new account of the translation of early modern English Christianity to early America.

Download or read book The Oxford History of Anglicanism written by Anthony Milton and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2017 with total page 466 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Oxford History of Anglicanism provides a global study of Anglicanism from the sixteenth century to the twenty-first. The five volumes in the series look at how Anglican identity was constructed and contested since the English Reformation of the sixteenth century, and examine its historical influence during the past six centuries. They consider not only the ecclesiastical and theological aspects of global Anglicanism, but also the political, social, economic, and cultural influences of this form of Christianity that has been historically significant in Western culture, and a burgeoning force in non-Western societies since the nineteenth century. Written by international experts in their various historical fields, each volumes analyses the varieties of Anglicanism that have emerged. The series also highlights the formal, political, institutional, and ecclesiastical forces that have shaped a global Anglicanism; and the interaction of Anglicanism with informal and external influences which have both moulded Anglicanism and been fashioned by it. Volume five of The Oxford History of Anglicanism considers the global experience of the Church of England in mission and in the transitions of its mission Churches towards autonomy in the twentieth century. The Church developed institutionally, yet more than the institutional history of the Church of England and its spheres of influence is probed. The contributors focus on what it has meant to be Anglican in diverse contexts. What spread from England was not simply a religious institution but the religious tradition it intended to implant. The volume addresses questions of the conduct of mission, its intended and unintended consequences. It offers important insights on what decolonization meant for Anglicans as the mission Church in various global locations became self-reliant. This study breaks new ground in describing the emergence of an Anglicanism shaped more contextually than externally. It illustrates how Anglicanism became enculturated across a broad swath of cultural contexts. The influence of context, and the challenge of adaption to it, framed Anglicanism's twentieth-century experience.

Download or read book Tobago in Print written by The Tobago Writers The Tobago Writers Guilg and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2015-11-03 with total page 187 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Where on earth is this place called Tobago in which twenty six authors have come together to produce an anthology called, Tobago in Print, vol 1? While the geographical location of this precious, unique and serene island can be easily placed at the near-southernmost tip of the Caribbean chain of islands, its soul and spirit shine out in the pages of this riveting book. Perhaps the soul of the island is best captured by Crystal Skeete, Tobagos champion spoken word artiste who writes, Bago is the place that we win wars with we mouth not with guns and knife. Whatever the island of Tobago is, the Tobago Writers Guild production of this book is a work of love unity and excellence. Members thank the groups guru Marlene Nourbese Phillips, herself an award winning author of the book, Harriets Daughter who nurtured in them the belief that they can accomplish this book. She has herself written a very fitting foreword to the book declaring that it illustrates the breadth of English expression that is the linguistic reality and heritage of Tobago. The work of each of the 26 contributors to this book is a study of creativity and original thought. It reflects an exciting array of themes, styles and perspectives. It answers the question of exactly what are the concerns of Caribbean people and its writers. Is it for good health care as so graphically presented by Gloria Austin in Heart to Heart, or for the preservation of the islands traditions explored by Milca Robinson Reid in Heritage Beginnings or the age-old prejudices of skin colour recorded by Laureen Burris Phillip in Growing Up Red or for future of its youth in De African Dimension of Deborah Moore-Miggins? In this book, it is all these things and more. Reginald O. Phillips also took time to pay tribute to Tobagos icon and internationally recognized statesman in the person of deceased former Prime Minister - and President of Trinidad and Tobago, Arthur Napoleon Raymond Robinson. Indeed, this book is a collectors item for Caribbean people and those interested in Caribbean literature.

Download or read book Kincraft written by Todne Thomas and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 2021-02-22 with total page 153 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Kincraft Todne Thomas explores the internal dynamics of community life among black evangelicals, who are often overshadowed by white evangelicals and the common equation of the “Black Church” with an Afro-Protestant mainline. Drawing on fieldwork in an Afro-Caribbean and African American church association in Atlanta, Thomas locates black evangelicals at the center of their own religious story, presenting their determined spiritual relatedness as a form of insurgency. She outlines how church members cocreate themselves as spiritual kin through what she calls kincraft—the construction of one another as brothers and sisters in Christ. Kincraft, which Thomas traces back to the diasporic histories and migration experiences of church members, reflects black evangelicals' understanding of Christian familial connection as transcending racial, ethnic, and denominational boundaries in ways that go beyond the patriarchal nuclear family. Church members also use their spiritual relationships to navigate racial and ethnic discrimination within the majority-white evangelical movement. By charting kincraft's functions and significance, Thomas demonstrates the ways in which black evangelical social life is more varied and multidimensional than standard narratives of evangelicalism would otherwise suggest.
Download or read book Ghost Ship written by A.D.A France-Williams and published by SCM Press. This book was released on 2020-07-10 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Church is very good at saying all the right things about racial equality. But the reality is that the institution has utterly failed to back up these good intentions with demonstrable efforts to reform. It is a long way from being a place of black flourishing. Through conversation with clergy, lay people and campaigners in the Church of England, A.D.A France-Williams issues a stark warning to the church, demonstrating how black and brown ministers are left to drown in a sea of complacency and collusion. While sticking plaster remedies abound, France-Williams argues that what is needed is a wholesale change in structure and mindset. Unflinching in its critique of the church, Ghost Ship explores the harrowing stories of institutional racism experienced then and now, within the Church of England. Far from being an issue which can be solved by simply recruiting more black and brown clergy, says France-Williams, structural racism requires a wholesale dismantling and reassembling of the ship - before it is too late.
