Download or read book Supreme Sacrifice written by Walter Reid and published by Birlinn Ltd. This book was released on 2016-08-18 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The war memorial in the Scottish village of Bridge of Weir lists 72 men who died during the First World War. Their deaths occurred in almost every theatre of the war. They were awarded very few medals and their military careers were not remarkable - except in the important respect that they, like countless other peaceful civilians, answered their country's call in its time of need. This book follows the lives of these sons of Bridge of Weir, not just as soldiers, sailors and airmen, but as husbands, fathers, sons, brothers and members of a small local community which felt their loss intensely. At the same time it also paints a larger picture of the war - of the politicians and generals and military campaigns which shaped it. The brave men of Bridge of Weir know little of the wider context - their experience was of the little histories in which they fought and died. Readers of this book will understand what the 72 never knew: why and how the war was fought that claimed their lives.

Download or read book Animal Sacrifice and Religious Freedom written by David M. O'Brien and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Santeria religion of Cuba—the Way of the Saints—mixes West AfricanYoruba culture with Catholicism. Similar to Haitian voodoo, Santeria has long practiced animal sacrifice in certain rites. But when Cuban immigrants brought those rituals to Florida, local authorities were suddenly confronted with a controversial situation that pitted the regulation of public health and morality against religious freedom. After Ernesto Pichardo established a Santeria church in Hialeah in the 1980s, the city of Hialeah responded by passing ordinances banning ritual animal sacrifice. Although on the surface those ordinances seemed general in intent, they were clearly aimed at Pichardo's church. When Pichardo subsequently sued the city, a federal court ruled in the latter's favor, in effect privileging the regulation of public health and morality over the church's free exercise of its religion. The U.S. Supreme Court heard Pichardo's appeal in 1993 and unanimously decided that the city had overstepped its bounds in targeting this particular religious group; however, the court was sharply divided regarding the basis of its decision. Three concurring opinions registered distinctly different views of the First Amendment, the limits of government regulation, and the religious freedom of minorities. In the end, the nine justices collectively concluded that freedom of religious belief was absolute while the freedom to practice the tenets of any faith were subject to non-discriminatory local regulations. David O'Brien, one of America's foremost scholars of the Court, now illuminates this controversy and its significance for law, government, and religion in America. His lively account takes us behind the scenes at every stage of the litigation to reveal a riveting case with more twists and turns than a classic whodunit. Ranging with equal ease from primitive magic to municipal politics and to the most arcane points of constitutional law, O'Brien weaves a compelling and instructive tale with a fascinating array of politicians, lawyers, jurists, civil libertarians, and animal rights advocates. Offering sharp insights into the key issues and personalities, he highlights cultural clashes large and small, while maintaining a balance for both the needs of government and the religious rights of individuals. The "Santeria case" reaffirmed that our laws must be generally applicable and neutral and may not discriminate against particular religions. Tracing the path to that conclusion, Animal Sacrifice and Religious Freedom provides a provocative and learned account of one of the most unusual and contentious religious freedom cases in American history.

Download or read book The Philosophy of Bhaghavadgita written by P.V.Laxmiprasad and published by Booksclinic Publishing. This book was released on 2021-10-16 with total page 111 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The fundamental purpose of the Bhagavad Gita is to illuminate all of humanity, the realization of the true nature of divinity for the highest spiritual conception and the greatest material perfection is to attain supreme love of God. It is a work showing lessons of philosophy, religion and ethics; it teaches every human being the art of living, the way of life. According to William Von Humboldt, the Gita is ‘the most beautiful, perhaps the only true philosophical song existing in any known tongue’. As a philosophical manifesto, the Bhagavad Gita plays an important influence in society. A philosophical guide acts like a spiritual magnifying glass, enabling people to discern the external and internal elements that surround their vision and bring error in our understanding. What we find in the works of philosophical masters are living truths which speak of mundane problems as well as spiritual needs of our day. People of such brilliant intellect who grow spiritually are able to interpret and transmit masterpieces like Bhagavad Gita in true spirit of life. Many a milestone is set by the followers of Gita and practical wisdom is the ultimate fulcrum of the philosophy.................... P. V. Laxmiprasad
