Book excerpt: The Old First Presbyterian Church in Wilmington, Delaware, was completed in 1740. A small graveyard stood to the south of the building. The building and property were sold in 1916. Four conditions for the sale were set forth: approval from the church trustees to move the church from its original site; assurance from a contractor, with experience in moving brick buildings, that the building could be moved; provision for perpetual maintenance of the church; and an agreement that the Board of Commissioners would provide a site suitable for the new location of the building. In an admirable effort to save the historic building, and the wonderful story of its history, members of the National Society of the Colonial Dames of America in the State of Delaware met all the conditions for the sale and the 30x40 building was moved brick by brick to its present location. The little graveyard adjacent to the building was included in the sale of the building and land. Plans were made for Wilmington and Brandywine Cemetery to receive the remains. With great care, honor, and dignity, the remains were transferred to their new resting place and reinterred, for the most part, at Wilmington and Brandywine Cemetery. The record of these early burials, and their relocation, are transcribed with a short history of Wilmington and some biographical cameos of the early Presbyterian congregants.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Being Presbyterian involves multiple layers of identity and connection. As Christians, Presbyterians are "catholic," sharing the common heritage of ancient Christianity with all believers, of all times, in all places. Presbyterians are Protestant by conviction sharing the rich spiritual heritage of the sixteenth century and the unique contributions of the Reformed Tradition. Historically, Presbyterians are also part of the evangelical movement, embracing the legacy of the eighteenth-century revivals (awakenings) in America and Britain. Each of these historic layers is equally important to Presbyterian identity and this book will seek to underscore that reality.

Download or read book African American Religion A Very Short Introduction written by Eddie S. Glaude Jr. and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2014-08-27 with total page 161 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the first African American denomination was established in Philadelphia in 1818, churches have gone beyond their role as spiritual guides in African American communities and have served as civic institutions, spaces for education, and sites for the cultivation of individuality and identities in the face of limited or non-existent freedom. In this Very Short Introduction, Eddie S. Glaude Jr. explores the history and circumstances of African American religion through three examples: conjure, African American Christianity, and African American Islam. He argues that the phrase "African American religion" is meaningful only insofar as it describes how through religion, African Americans have responded to oppressive conditions including slavery, Jim Crow apartheid, and the pervasive and institutionalized discrimination that exists today. This bold claim frames his interpretation of the historical record of the wide diversity of religious experiences in the African American community. He rejects the common tendency to racialize African American religious experiences as an inherent proclivity towards religiousness and instead focuses on how religious communities and experiences have developed in the African American community and the context in which these developments took place. About the Series: Oxford's Very Short Introductions series offers concise and original introductions to a wide range of subjects--from Islam to Sociology, Politics to Classics, Literary Theory to History, and Archaeology to the Bible. Not simply a textbook of definitions, each volume in this series provides trenchant and provocative--yet always balanced and complete--discussions of the central issues in a given discipline or field. Every Very Short Introduction gives a readable evolution of the subject in question, demonstrating how the subject has developed and how it has influenced society. Eventually, the series will encompass every major academic discipline, offering all students an accessible and abundant reference library. Whatever the area of study that one deems important or appealing, whatever the topic that fascinates the general reader, the Very Short Introductions series has a handy and affordable guide that will likely prove indispensable.
