Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the optimistic years preceding Federation in 1901, the Melbourne-based Australian Church emerged as a progressive Christian movement to serve a brand-new nation. Galvanising many members of Melbourne’s social and political elite, activist Reverend Dr Charles Strong imagined the Australian Church becoming the national church, while addressing a broad social and political reform agenda, inspired by both theological and social liberalism. Their approach was described as ‘progressive’, ‘liberal’, ‘radical’ and ‘socialist’. Strong and his wife, Janet, founded or led organisations for causes ranging from peace to penal reform. They fought for urban slum improvements, rural village settlements, childcare and adult education, the minimum wage and women’s suffrage. Some organisations endure today; others left lasting legacies in Australian methods of addressing social inequality. Bringing together leading scholars of history, politics and religion, Charles Strong’s Australian Church celebrates the church’s radicalism, while taking account of debates and obstacles on the path to social reform.

Download or read book Remembering Pioneer Australian Pacifist Charles Strong written by Norman C. Habel and published by . This book was released on 2018-11-16 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ""I fear that Armistice Day did not bring any repentance, any sense of responsibility for the war, any sense of the awful scandal to Christendom with such a spectacle as that of Christians of one nation killing Christians of another nation--in the name of Christ."" The above quote is the closing word of the famous Armistice Day speech by the Rev. Charles Strong on Armistice Day in 1920. Now, a hundred years after the original Armistice Day, we honor Charles Strong and remember his ardent advocacy for peace. This volume remembering Charles Strong as a pioneer pacifist in the late 19th and early 20th century was launched as part of Pacifism Convocation held in his honor, 100 years after the original Armistice Day in 1918. Soon after Armistice Day in 1920, Charles Strong delivered his famous Armistice Day speech in which he questioned whether the mindset of Armistice Day was consistent with genuine Christian values. The heart of that speech is included in this volume. A number of the articles in this volume are by current members of the Charles Strong Trust Advisory Council. Some of these articles explore the culture and context of Strong's world; others include authors committed to the cause of peace. As a whole, this volume explores in depth the social, political, spiritual and moral dimensions of the profound Christian pacifism of Charles Strong. In the later nineteenth century and early nineteenth century, the Melbourne establishment was agitated by a Presbyterian clergyman, the Rev. Charles Strong. He stood out from, and even against, the societal values of the day. He challenged Church doctrines, proposed major social changes and, above all, combatted the practices of war and conscription. He was ejected by the Presbyterians and he founded his own church, The Australian Church (now defunct). As Australia approaches the centennial of Armistice Day 1918, the influence of Charles Strong is viewed from a number of perspectives by interested academics. -Emeritus Professor Robert Crotty, University of South Australia Norman Habel is a Professorial Fellow at Flinders University and an international Biblical scholar. He is currently chair of the Charles Strong Memorial Trust which was established when the Australian Church, founded by Strong, was sold in 1955. The aim of the Trust is to relate Christianity to other religions and world issues. See www.charlesstrongtrust.org.au

Download or read book Religion after Secularization in Australia written by Timothy Stanley and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-09-01 with total page 199 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Religion's persistent and new visibility in political life has prompted a significant global debate. One of this debate's key features concerns the nature and impact of secularization. This collection of essays draws together leading sociologists, historians, philosophers of religion, and political theorists in order to provide a broad and up-to-date account of religion after secularization. Contributors explore the meaning and conceptual legacies of religion, as well as the unique features of the Australian case such as religion as it relates to law, education, gender, media, and radical political movements. Intervening in the current debate, this book provides summative accounts of the historical, cultural, and legal interactions that have informed Australia’s relationship to religion and secularization. Contributors critically analyze and engage with secular political theory concerning the public sphere, while also dissecting deliberative politics and democratic practices. This book propels the debate over religion’s place in public life in new directions and promotes urgently needed public understanding.
