Download or read book The British Empire in the 1950s written by M. Lynn and published by Palgrave Macmillan. This book was released on 2014-01-14 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection of studies examines the history of the British empire during the 1950s. This is a relatively neglected period in the historiography of British decolonization, coming as it does after the more well researched era of the late 1940s that saw the start of moves to decolonize the empire. The papers in this volume analyze imperial policy and the place of the empire in British society during the 1950s and the degree to which these years represented a period of continuing retreat or of imperial re-assertion.

Book excerpt: IT has been said that, in the history of the Church, the twentieth century will eventually be known as the century of the laity. And it must be admitted that probably at no preceding epoch have there been the same opportunity and need for the co-operation of the faithful laity in the defence of the Church, in the promotion of her interests and in the "pacific penetration," by means of their example and intellectual influence, of the society in which they live. But it may be said with equal truth that our century is also the century of retreats. And this is just what we should expect in the ordinary course of Divine Providence. That our Catholic laity, of both sexes and of all social classes, should be fitted, always under the direction and control of ecclesiastical authority, to play the magnificent role which is awaiting them, it is absolutely necessary, not only that they should have a thorough training in Christian Doctrine and in the knowledge of all that appertains to their religion and its history, which is obtained by a good Catholic education and by the reading of Catholic literature; but also that they should have frequent opportunities for what is called, even outside our own body, the" deepening of the spiritual life." It is not mere knowledge of the Faith, of the Church's constitution and her history, however extensive and accurate, but also, or rather far more, the intensity of ,the spiritual life and the application of religious principles to everyday practice, that will enable the Christian layman and laywoman not only to save their own souls, but to play their part great or small in saving the world around them. And this all-necessary "deepening of the spiritual life" is the work of retreats for the people. We may thank God for this "great revival" which Father Plater so admirably describes in the present volume. It is, indeed, a wonderful and inspiring story. As I wrote on another occasion: "Never before have these invaluable aids to salvation been so freely accessible to all classes and all ages of the Faithful. But a few years ago a retreat was a spiritual luxury within the reach only of the clergy, the religious, and the leisured and well-to-do classes. Nowadays, thanks to institutions like the Cenacle Convents in Manchester, London, and Liverpool, for women and girls, and Oakwood Hall, Romiley, for men, all classes of Catholics, down to the very poorest, and all ages, from married persons to little children preparing for their' first Communion, can at least in this part of England--secure the full advantages of a retreat with the greatest facility and at very moderate expense.' If the results, social as well as religious, produced by the workmen's retreats in Catholic Belgium are as yet far beyond anything we can aspire to in this country, still the progress which has been made in this direction during the past six years is certainly most gratifying. Father Plater's modesty does not allow him to state that the first public impulse given to the movement was the admirable paper read by himself at the Brighton Conference of the Catholic Truth Society as late as 1906. What has happened since is narrated by his own pen in the following pages. But I feel it to be a mere act of justice on my part, whilst expressing my appreciation of this book and my earnest desire that it may be widely read by both Catholics and non-Catholics, to record here how very greatly the whole movement is indebted to the author, both for its inception and its subsequent development, which he has never ceased to further by both pen and voice, by articles and by lectures. Yet, whatever share Father Plater and so many other devoted men and women have been privileged to have in this divine work, none will be more ready than they to protest: "I have planted, Apollo watered; but God gave the increase. . . . For we are God's coadjutors." (I Cor. iii. 6, 9.)

This book was released on 2020-03-31 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is both an awakening and a reviving manual, with a series of suggested spiritual retreat programmes to guide the beginners. The author, Z.T. Fomum provides an answer to the many questions that Christians often ask themselves, concerning either their own spiritual progress or the spiritual progress of other believers. These questions can be summed up as follows: How do you overcome the tendency to activism which makes agitated believers unable to be calm before God in order to seek Him? How do you know God so that you can serve Him from deep knowledge? In a word, how do you walk from one degree of progress to another in our generation? The author invites us, in response to these many questions, to experience a life of spiritual retreats. That life is a prelude to the great final retreat that the Lord will soon take with His church. Therefore, retreats are presented as a sign of love for the Lord and an activity in preparation for our final retreat with the Lord. Retreats for spiritual progress are to be taken regularly as a way of life. To resolve questions relating to the preparation and planning of a spiritual retreat, the author suggests, as a guide, a series of retreat programmes ranging from 15 minutes to several hours and days. In devising a format for several types of retreats, the author effectively answers the question of what should be done step-by-step during a retreat. You just need to choose the type of retreat you wish to take and just follow the instructions given in the book by the author. This book is both an awakening and a reviving instrument.

Download or read book An Indian Tantric Tradition and Its Modern Global Revival written by D.E. Osto and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-03-06 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book analyzes the contemporary global revival of Nondual Śaivism, a thousand-year-old medieval Hindu religious philosophy. Providing a historical overview of the seminal people and groups responsible for the revival, the book compares the tradition’s medieval Indian origins to modern forms, which are situated within distinctively contemporary religious, economic and technological contexts. The author bridges the current gap in the literature between "insider" (emic) and "outsider” (etic) perspectives by examining modern Nondual Śaivism from multiple standpoints as both a critical scholar of religion and an empathetic participant-observer. The book explores modern Nondual Śaivism in relation to recent scholarly debates concerning the legitimacy of New Age consumptive spirituality, the global spiritual marketplace and the contemporary culture of narcissism. It also analyzes the dark side of the revived tradition, and investigates contemporary teachers accused of sexual abuse and illegal financial activities in relation to unique features of Nondual Śaivism’s theosophy and modern scholarship on new religious movements (NRMs) and cults. This book shows that, although Kashmir Śaivism has been adopted by certain teachers and groups to market their own brand of "High Tantra," some contemporary practitioners have remained true to the system’s fundamental tenets and teach authentic (albeit modern) forms of Nondual Śaivism. This book will be of interest to academics in the fields of religion and Asian philosophies, especially South Asian, tantric, neo-tantric and yoga philosophies, alternative and New Age spiritualities, religion and consumerism, and NRMs and cults.
