Book excerpt: This title was first published in 2003. When did churches start to appear more empty than full - and why? The very physicality of largely empty churches and chapels in Britain plays a powerful role in popular perceptions of 'religion'. Empty churches are frequently cited in the media as evidence of large scale religious decline. The Empty Church Revisited presents a systematic account of British churchgoing patterns over the last two hundred years, uncovering the factors and the statistics behind the considerable process of decline in church attendence. Dispelling as myth the commonly held views that the process of secularization in British culture has led to the decline in churchgoing and resulted in the predominantly empty churches of today, Gill points to physical factors, economics and issues of social space to shed new light on the origins of empty churches. This thoroughly updated edition of Robin Gill's earlier work, The Myth of the Empty Church, presents new data throughout to explore afresh the paradox of church building activity in a context of decline, the patterns of urbanisation followed by sub-urbanisation affecting churches, changes in patterns of worship, and changes within the sociology of religion in the last decade.

Download or read book Eastern Montgomery County Revisited written by Andrew Mark Herman and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2005 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Montgomery County was incorporated in 1784, though much of the area was settled in the late 1600s and early 1700s through land grants by Pennsylvania's founder, William Penn. Located immediately northwest of Philadelphia, the Quaker city has always influenced the county. Wealthy mansions, religious institutions, colleges, and industry all have contributed to the fabric of the county. Eastern Montgomery County Revisited explores this scenic and historic area with rare postcards from 1905 to 1970 and is meant to be a companion to Eastern Montgomery County. Although this book visits many favorite and familiar parts of the county, great emphasis has been placed on smaller, lesser-known places that truly make this book intriguing and unique.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'The oceans are the graveyards of the lands.' Lands become eaten away by the action of the seas, and it is no surprise to find that most of the world's shorelines are in a state of erosion. The fringes of Britain, its cliffs and beaches, are shrinking, disappearing into the surrounding sea as a result of coastal flooding, erosion and landsliding. Is climate change speeding up the process; are our homes, our villages and towns, at risk? This book examines how the British coast is changing and why - and what is being done to protect this island nation. Are we doing enough? Should we abandon vulnerable towns and villages to the seas as our forebears did and relocate coastal settlements inland? These are some of the difficult and potentially emotive questions that this book explores. Blending contemporary earth science and societal themes with historical and cultural records, and a hint of myth and romance for good measure, This Shrinking Land is a fascinating study of what we must learn from the past in order to manage the future of Britain's coasts. With more than 100 illustrations, most of them in colour, this is a stunning book.

This book was released on 2017-10-27 with total page 42 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of St. Luke's Parish and the Beginnings of the Episcopal Church in Rowan County: Address Delivered in St. Luke's Church, Salisbury, N. C., On October 19, 1924, in Commemoration of the Centennial of the Union of St. Luke's Parish With the Diocese of North Carolina Page Threeboundaries and limits as formerly, and all. Deeds and conveyances of land made during the period of the revocation were declared valid. It is the year 1755. This town, named after the cathedral town of Salisbury, England, is but just laid out, the court house built, and '7 or 8 houses erected. In the entire county of Rowan, which was bounded to the westward in the charter only by the South Seas, there are only about 1250 taxables. Thirteen years later this number had trebled. At the beginning of 1766 Governor Tryon ventured the opinion that North Carolina was being settled faster than any, other province, and that in the preceding autumn and winter about one thousand wagons with accompanying families had passed through Salisbury. When George Washington passed through Salisbury a quarter of a century later (1791) he recorded in his diary: Salisbury is but a small place altho it is the county town and the district court is held in it; there is about three hundred souls in it and tradesmen of different kinds. Whether the Father of his Country meant to intimate that the tradesmen represented soulless corporations is not clear; but we will charitably give both Washington and the tradesmen the benefit of' the doubt. The many acts on the statute books of these, early times clearly demonstrate the efforts of the royal government of the province to make the Church of England the established church of North Carolina. We must recall that the freeholders that is menowning fifty acres of land or a lot in some town, were required, under penalty of twenty shillings, to elect twelve vestrymen to serve three years. The vestry men so elected had to subscribe on oath that they would not oppose the doctrine, discipline and liturgy of the Church of England as by law established. If a dissenter was elected and failed to qualify, he was liable to a fine. The vestry was authorized to levy a tax of ten shillings on each taxable in the parish for the erection of churches or chapels, the payment of ministers, purchasing a glebe and erecting a parson age. According to an act of 1765, the minister of a parish was to receive an annual salary of one hundred and thirty-three pounds, six shillings; and eight pence, and a fee of twenty shillings for every mar riage solemnized in the parish, whether he performed the services or not, provided he did not neglect or refuse to do so.
