Calvitt Clarke III, author and grandson to Dr. Clarke, navigates the complexities of Dr. Clarkes personality and intellectual lifeand yes, even their contradictionsto offer a detailed and heartfelt profile of this compelling man. Based on hundreds of newspapers and extensive archival researchincluding a large cache of family papersFifty Years of Begging is inspired by Dr. Clarkes own badly fragmented and scattered manuscript of his unfinished memoirs. Although both Dr. Clarke and his grandson called Richmond their home, while growing up the author did not know his grandfather well.

Calvitt Clarkes proud heritage and lasting legacy of philanthropy and service.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sara Fieldston shows how humanitarian child welfare agencies sponsored by Americans filtered political power through the prism of familial love after World War II. These well-meaning institutions shaped perceptions of the United States as the benevolent parent in a family of nations, and helped to expand American hegemony around the globe.

We have attempted to measure these and allow for their full importance; but, even after doing our best, difficulties remain. Rather than attempt to camouflage them, we simply ask your forbearance and - wherever possible - a greater degree of personal cooperation in subsequent years.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Japan Christian Yearbook, 1956, Vol. 45: A Survey of the Christian Movement in Japan During 1955 This article makes no attempt to enumerate all im portant events in the Christian movement in Japan dur ing Rather the purpose has been to sharpen up and to analyse briefly some of the more evident trends in the Protestant Church, in this country. To the ex tent which a discussion of political and economic aspects is deemed a prerequisite toward an intelligent under standing of the general religious situation, a summary treatment of these fields is presented as an introduction. The only valid reason why this article has been written by a person who has been but five years in this land is that I was so requested by people who perhaps should have known better.

Download or read book The Japan Christian Yearbook 1964 written by Gordon K. Chapman and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-10 with total page 634 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Japan Christian Yearbook, 1964: A Survey of the Christian Movement in Japan During 1963 Except where otherwise indicated, the respective writers of the articles are alone responsible for the views expressed. Their Opinions doubtless represent earnest convictions and as such are worthy of expres sion. It will doubtless be noted that this issue con tains some reference to non-christian or quasi-christian groups. It should be clearly understood that this is solely by way of record and in no sense an endorse ment of views which are an aberration from the verities of the Christian faith. In order to facilitate ready reference, the usual Report section has been eliminated and the material incorporated in the relevant articles. These have been arranged in four major sections, with a well qualified editor assigned to each. In view of the fact that certain topics have not received adequate treatment in recent years, and also in the interest of a broader ecumenicity, considerable background material is in cluded to supplement the account of developments in 1963. Owing to the great proliferation of Protestant de nominations since World War 11 it is obviously impossible to include a narrative report from each. In recent years such material has had chiefly to do with the larger denominations with long historical antecedents in Japan. Thus information concerning all the churches has been mainly restricted to the statistical tables. The present volume, however, in cludes an extensive account of a large number of groups by denominational families, with only the largest denominations treated as such. In addition, there is a directory of denominational headquarters, which includes the statistics of the number of churches in each group, membership and the number of Japan ese ministers and affiliated missionaries also indicated. With a number of groups failing to report annual statistics, and also refusing to reply to such inquiries, certain inaccuracies may be found and more accurate information will be welcome. Some of the larger denominations had the courage to purge their rolls in 1963, with the result that considerable membership losses are apparent in certain cases.

Download or read book Christianity in China written by Xiaoxin Wu and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-07-17 with total page 862 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Now revised and updated to incorporate numerous new materials, this is the major source for researching American Christian activity in China, especially that of missions and missionaries. It provides a thorough introduction and guide to primary and secondary sources on Christian enterprises and individuals in China that are preserved in hundreds of libraries, archives, historical societies, headquarters of religious orders, and other repositories in the United States. It includes data from the beginnings of Christianity in China in the early eighth century through 1952, when American missionary activity in China virtually ceased. For this new edition, the institutional base has shifted from the Princeton Theological Seminary (Protestant) to the Ricci Institute for Chinese-Western Cultural Relations at the University of San Francisco (Jesuit), reflecting the ecumenical nature of this monumental undertaking.
Download or read book The Christian Movement in Japan and Formosa written by Paul S. Mayer and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-14 with total page 530 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Christian Movement in Japan and Formosa: A Year Book of Christian Work The editors send forth the twenty-sixth annual volume of the Japan Mission Year Book with the sincere hope that it may not be entirely unworthy to rank with its noble predecessors. The new title appears for the first time on the cover Of the book. The editors have tried to keep in mind the thought of a Year Book. That they have not always succeeded will be evident to any one even upon a cursory reading of the book. Instead of a general survey written by the editor in-chief, the first section of the book this year is composed of a number of articles written by prom inent Japanese. It is to be regretted that the survey of Buddhism which was to have been written by Dr. K. Watanabe was not forthcoming in time to be published in this volume. Perhaps the most unsatisfactory section of the book is the statistical record. The manner of tabulating statis tics differs so greatly in the various churches that it is exceedingly difficult to make this part of the book absolutely reliable. The missionary directory has been corrected up through May and is therefore as accurate as it can be made under the circumstances. Unstinted thanks are due to all who have gladly contributed of their time and energy towards the compilation of this volume.
