Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New England Indians created the multitribal Brothertown and Stockbridge communities during the eighteenth century with the intent of using Christianity and civilized reforms to cope with white expansion. In Red Brethren, David J. Silverman considers the stories of these communities and argues that Indians in early America were racial thinkers in their own right and that indigenous people rallied together as Indians not only in the context of violent resistance but also in campaigns to adjust peacefully to white dominion. All too often, the Indians discovered that their many concessions to white demands earned them no relief. In the era of the American Revolution, the pressure of white settlements forced the Brothertowns and Stockbridges from New England to Oneida country in upstate New York. During the early nineteenth century, whites forced these Indians from Oneida country, too, until they finally wound up in Wisconsin. Tired of moving, in the 1830s and 1840s, the Brothertowns and Stockbridges became some of the first Indians to accept U.S. citizenship, which they called "becoming white," in the hope that this status would enable them to remain as Indians in Wisconsin. Even then, whites would not leave them alone. Red Brethren traces the evolution of Indian ideas about race under this relentless pressure. In the early seventeenth century, indigenous people did not conceive of themselves as Indian. They sharpened their sense of Indian identity as they realized that Christianity would not bridge their many differences with whites, and as they fought to keep blacks out of their communities. The stories of Brothertown and Stockbridge shed light on the dynamism of Indians' own racial history and the place of Indians in the racial history of early America.

Book Peter Riedemann s Hutterite Confession of Faith

Download or read book Peter Riedemann s Hutterite Confession of Faith written by PETER. RIEDEMANN CARLSTADT) and published by Classics of the Radical Reform. This book was released on 2019-11-23 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While in prison during 1540-42, Riedemann writes for the Lutheran ruler, Philip of Hesse. He explains the Hutterite goal of a renewed community and dispels popular misconceptions. The Hutterites quickly accept the Confession as their own. Riedemann creatively weaves together a fresh reading of the Bible with the classical creeds. He produces a powerful synthesis of Scripture and tradition on which to base Christian community. His dynamic vision of radical and communal discipleship still challenges believers toward greater faithfulness to the Lord and to each other. Riedemann_s Confession gives theological grounding for the Hutterite understanding of economic communalism and offers practical examples of it. This confession still guides Hutterite communities. Includes John J. Friesen_s translation of the 1565 German edition of Confession of Our Religion, Teaching, and Faith, by the Brothers Who Are Known as the Hutterites along with a new history of Riedemann.

  • ISBN : 067424916X
  • Pages : 305 pages

Download or read book The Brethren written by Brendan McConville and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2021-09-28 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The dramatic account of a Revolutionary-era conspiracy in which a band of farmers opposed to military conscription and fearful of religious persecution plotted to kill the governor of North Carolina. Less than a year into the American Revolution, a group of North Carolina farmers hatched a plot to assassinate the colonyÕs leading patriots, including the governor. The scheme became known as the Gourd Patch or Llewellen Conspiracy. The men called themselves the Brethren. The Brethren opposed patriot leadersÕ demand for militia volunteers and worried that ÒenlightenedÓ deist principles would be enshrined in the state constitution, displacing their Protestant faith. The patriotsÕ attempts to ally with Catholic France only exacerbated the BrethrenÕs fears of looming heresy. Brendan McConville follows the Brethren as they draw up plans for violent action. After patriot militiamen threatened to arrest the Brethren as British sympathizers in the summer of 1777, the group tried to spread false rumors of a slave insurrection in hopes of winning loyalist support. But a disaffected insider denounced the movement to the authorities, and many members were put on trial. Drawing on contemporary depositions and legal petitions, McConville gives voice to the conspiratorsÕ motivations, which make clear that the Brethren did not back the Crown but saw the patriots as a grave threat to their religion. Part of a broader Southern movement of conscription resistance, the conspiracy compels us to appreciate the full complexity of public opinion surrounding the Revolution. Many colonists were neither loyalists nor patriots and came to see the Revolutionary government as coercive. The Brethren tells the dramatic story of ordinary people who came to fear that their Revolutionary leaders were trying to undermine religious freedom and individual libertyÑthe very causes now ascribed to the Founding generation.

Book Brethren

    Book Details:
  • Author : Andrew McDiarmid
  • Publisher : The Nazca Plains Corporation
  • Release : 2010-12-18
  • ISBN : 1610981596
  • Pages : 135 pages

Download or read book Brethren written by Andrew McDiarmid and published by The Nazca Plains Corporation. This book was released on 2010-12-18 with total page 135 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "He had the feeling of being watched. As he made his way to the back of the bar, and under the overhang of the 2nd floor, he looked back through the smoke. Standing at the railing was a rare breed of man. There was hair coming from every follicle of his body, and the fine wisp of cigar smoke wandering his revealed fur. The tight-fitting jeans were adding to the arousing combination. He had a tightly cut flattop of a dark black color. The cigar was not a large one, but it produced a nice amount of smoke." In this new collection of stories, Andrew McDiarmid continues to explore the relationships of leather clad men and smoke filled rooms that he explored in "SMOKE." Each of the new adventures shows that no matter where we are in the world, no matter our heritage or past, being a leatherman makes us part of a unique community. McDiarmid mixes real life adventures with a touch of science fiction in his exploration of the leather lifestyle. Whether we are Brethren who live for hundreds of years, or submissives getting our first introduction to ash, and smoke, there are always new adventures waiting around every corner. At every turn, we discover that this community we call home, has many other communities within yet to be discovered. "THE GIFT" explores the relationship between two men being taken to the next level. "ASH" explores the intensity of a dungeon scene when time looses meaning and serving another becomes the only focus. "INTRODUCTION" explores meeting men on the internet and the pleasures that can be found there with a little patience. From the characters from "HUNT," which was included in "SMOKE," comes a new adventure of time travel and finding love in new places when you least expect it. "BRETHREN," the main chapter of this new collection of writing, explores three centuries of lost love, the intimacy of lust, and the joy of a new beginning.
