Book excerpt: Excerpt from First Decade of the Woman's Foreign Missionary Society of the Methodist Episcopal Church: With Sketches of Its Missionaries The preparation of this volume was concerned early in the year 1878; but the work has been delayed longer than we anticipated, because of the time required to conduct the preliminary correspondence, extending, of necessity, to the ends of the earth. We have spared neither time nor pains to make the volume reliable. In the preparation of the sketches we have made no statements without most ample warrant, either from the missionaries themselves or from their own personal friends; and we would gratefully record our especial obligation to these persons for their prompt and generous aid. We propose to give our readers only a part of the history of our toilers in foreign fields. Just so much is presented as precedes and covers the first ten years of our Society.

Download or read book Canadian Women in Print 1750 1918 written by Carole Gerson and published by Wilfrid Laurier Univ. Press. This book was released on 2011-05-24 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Canadian Women in Print, 1750—1918 is the first historical examination of women’s engagement with multiple aspects of print over some two hundred years, from the settlers who wrote diaries and letters to the New Women who argued for ballots and equal rights. Considering women’s published writing as an intervention in the public sphere of national and material print culture, this book uses approaches from book history to address the working and living conditions of women who wrote in many genres and for many reasons. This study situates English Canadian authors within an extensive framework that includes francophone writers as well as women’s work as compositors, bookbinders, and interveners in public access to print. Literary authorship is shown to be one point on a spectrum that ranges from missionary writing, temperance advocacy, and educational texts to journalism and travel accounts by New Woman adventurers. Familiar figures such as Susanna Moodie, L.M. Montgomery, Nellie McClung, Pauline Johnson, and Sara Jeannette Duncan are contextualized by writers whose names are less well known (such as Madge Macbeth and Agnes Laut) and by many others whose writings and biographies have vanished into the recesses of history. Readers will learn of the surprising range of writing and publishing performed by early Canadian women under various ideological, biographical, and cultural motivations and circumstances. Some expressed reluctance while others eagerly sought literary careers. Together they did much more to shape Canada’s cultural history than has heretofore been recognized.

Download or read book A Puerto Rican Decolonial Theology written by Teresa Delgado and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-09-21 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the themes of identity, suffering, and hope in the stories of Puerto Rican people to surface the anthropology, soteriology, and eschatology of a Puerto Rican decolonial theology. Using an interdisciplinary methodology of dialogue between literature and theology, this study reveals the oppression, resistance, and theological vision of the Puerto Rican community. It demonstrates how Puerto Rican literature and Puerto Rican theology are prophetic voices calling out for the liberation of a suffering people, on the island and in the Puerto Rican Diaspora, while employing personal Puerto Rican family/community stories as an authoritative contextual reference point. This work stands within the continuum of contextual theology and diasporic studies of religion in the United States, as well as research in the interdisciplinary field of decolonial and post-colonial studies.
Download or read book The Imperial Horizons of British Protestant Missions 1880 1914 written by Andrew N. Porter and published by Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing. This book was released on 2003 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Christian missions have long been associated with the growth of empire and colonial rule. For just as long, the nature and consequences of that association have provoked animated debate over such themes as "culture" and "identity." This volume brings together studies of changing attitudes and practices in Protestant missions during the hectic decades of European imperial and territorial expansion between 1880 and 1914. Written by acknowledged experts, "The Imperial Horizons of British Protestant Missions includes chapters on the imperial and ecclesiastical ambitions of the high-church Society for the Propagation of the Gospel; the role of empire as an arena for working out Christian understandings of atonement; the international politics of the missionary movement; conflicting understandings of race, missionary strategies, and the transfer of Western scientific knowledge; Indian nationalist responses to Christian teaching; and changing interpretations of Western missionary methods in China and of female missionary roles in South Africa.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At the height of British colonialism, conversion to Christianity was a path to upward mobility for Indian low-castes and untouchables, especially in the Tamil-speaking south of India.

This book was released on 2018-01-19 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Historical Sketches of the Northwestern Branch of the Woman's Foreign Missionary Society of the Methodist Episcopal Church Colleges and universities had Opened their doors to our young women, and when they came forth again fitted for wide, strong work somewhere, God's hand pointed to new wondrous fields all untilled, on the other side of the sea. In the fullness of time, March 22, 1869, there was born in the missionary world, the Woman's Foreign Missionary Society of the Methodist Episcopal Church. Grand and impressive beyond all that is yet written will be that tre mendons chapter which shall unfold in heavenly story the birth and onward march, the mighty development and the momentous relation of that development to the interest, progress and salvation of the world. A task so wonderful and magnificent might fitly engage an angel's pen, for surely no power of human grasp could successfully reveal the triumphs of Christ's kingdom on the earth under this agency. Seventeen years only in existence! And what hath God wrought? Societies were organized in many places auxiliary to the one in Boston; Milwaukee, Wisconsin, contesting the honor with Rockford, Illinois, in pioneering in the North west, but Rockford records are proof of a seniority of three days, though notices for both organizations were read from their respective pulpits on the same Sunday. Mrs. Willing organized in Rockford, June 20, 1869, and Mrs. Hauser in Milwaukee, June 23. In order to add to the efficient working of the general Society, secure the co-operation of Methodist women throughout the country, it was determined to divide it into districts, each district to be represented by a branch society, with headquarters in its chief city. These Branches were organized in the following order Philadelphia, March 3, 1870; New England and New York on the same day, March 10; The north-western, March 17; Western, April 4; and Cincinnati, April 6. They are really so many different societies confederated under one central executive committee. In less than a year from the time when this new work was first given to Methodist women, the north-western Branch was organized in old Clark Street Church, Chicago, with 66 auxiliaries and members, and comprising the States of Illinois, Michigan, Indiana and Wisconsin.

Download or read book Daughters of the Church written by Ruth A. Tucker and published by Zondervan. This book was released on 2010-08-10 with total page 558 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rich in historical events and colorfully written, this fascinating account of women in the church spans nearly two thousand years of church history. It tells of events and aspirations, determination and disappointment, patience and achievement that mark the history of daughters of the church from the time of Jesus to the present. The authors have endeavored to present an objective story. The very fact that readers may find themselves surprised now and again by the prominent role of women in certain events and movements proves an inequality that historical narrative has often been guilty of. This is a book about women. It is a setting straight off the record -- a restoring of balance to history that has repeatedly played down the significance of the contributions of women to the theology, the witness, the movements, and the growth of the church. An exegetical study of relevant Scripture passages offers stimulating thought for discussion and for serious reevaluation of historical givens. This volume is enriched by pictures, appendixes, bibliography, and indexes. Like many of the women whose stories it tells, this book has a subdued strength that should not be underestimated.
Download or read book American Women in Mission written by Dana Lee Robert and published by Mercer University Press. This book was released on 1996 with total page 480 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The stereotype of the woman missionary has ranged from that of the longsuffering wife, characterized by the epitaph Died, given over to hospitality, to that of the spinster in her unstylish dress and wire-rimmed glasses, alone somewhere for thirty years teaching heathen children. Like all caricatures, those of the exhausted wife and frustrated old maid carry some truth: the underlying message of the sterotypes is that missionary women were perceived as marginal to the central tasks of mission. Rather than being remembered for preaching the gospel, the quintessential male task, missionary women were noted for meeting human needs and helping others, sacrificing themselves without plan or reason, all for the sake of bringing the world to Jesus Christ.Historical evidence, however, gives lie to the truism that women missionaries were and are doers but not thinkers, reactive secondary figures rather than proactive primary ones. The first American women to serve as foreign missionaries in 1812 were among the best-educated women of their time. Although barred from obtaining the college education or ministerial credentials of their husbands, the early missionary wives had read their Jonathan Edwards and Samuel Hopkins. Not only did they go abroad with particular theologies to share, but their identities as women caused them to develop gender-based mission theories. Early nineteenth-century women seldom wrote theologies of mission, but they wrote letters and kept journals that reveal a thought world and set of assumptions about women's roles in the missionary task. The activities of missionary wives were not random: they were part of a mission strategy that gave women a particular role inthe advancement of the reign of God.By moving from mission field to mission field in chronological order of missionary presence, Robert charts missiological developments as they took place in dialogue with the urgent context of the day. Each case study marks the beginning of the mission theory. Baptist women in Burma, for example, are only considered in their first decades there and are not traced into the present. Robert believes that at this early stage of research into women's mission theory, integrity and analysis lies more in a succession of contextualized case studies than in gross generalizations.
