Topic: 1822 religious leaders


  
  Pennsylvania's Capitols and Leaders
Dedicated in 1822, the Redbrick Capitol was the seat of government until it burned down in 1897.
The taciturn constitutional lawyer went on to the United States House and Senate, was foreign minister to Russia and England, and completed his 30 years as leader of the Pennsylvania Democrats by becoming the only native son of the Commonwealth to be President of the United States, 1857-1860.
While the modern Legislature continues to produce powerful leaders, Senator M. Harvey Taylor, a Republican from Dauphin, is likely to be the last "boss." Taylor served 24 years and was President Pro Tempore for a record 18 years from 1947 to 1964.

 Religious Groups, Benevolent Organizations, and American Pluralism
The advocates and leaders of the benevolent associations called for a form of Christian union that, to outsiders, smelt of amalgamation and of a particular flavor of post-Calvinist revivalism, and this tendency towards amalgamation inspired other denominations to emphasize their peculiar tenets and practices.
Although the leaders and publicists of the benevolent empire prided themselves on the non-sectarian nature of their organizations, in practice most of the members, energy, and funding came from Calvinists, with Hopkinsian revival-driven Calvinists at the forefront.
In addition confessional religious leaders objected to the implication that the cherished and distinctive forms of their religious practice were, in the end, no more than matters of custom.

 Genovese, Slave Revolts in Hemispheric Perspective (1981)
The religiously grounded ideology of accommodation, understood as itself a vital form of resistance to dehumanization and to enslavement, acted as a powerful brake on the revolutionary impulse, to which it posed a realistic alternative.
In the hands of a skillful anti-Christian leader the religious cry could be made to separate the slaves totally from the white community and thus transform every rising into a holy war against the infidel.
Religiously inspired rebels could always attribute the inevitable casualties to the victims' bad faith or failure to observe proper ritual or even to the prospect of reincarnation in Africa.

 A Place for Truth Studies - Gospel According to Galatians II
Religious History of the American People, by Sydney Ahlstrom; The Story of Religion in America, by William Warren Sweet; The Great Awakening, by Edwin Gaustad; Dictionary of Christianity in America, eds.
Leaders of the First Great Awakening: William Tennent (1673-1746)- preached in Pennsylvania, was a Presbyterian born in Ireland who built the "Log College" in 1735 to train ministers, many who participated in the Awakening.
He writes, "What makes men partial in their religion is, that they seek themselves and not God, in their religion." The Religious Affections have been most examined by scholars because the "chief critic of Arminianism" was forging a weapon out of Lockean materials which "enlightened" theologians and deists had claimed as their own.

Nor, historians say, do the great leaders' public expressions of faith necessarily tell us much about how their notion of an ideal relationship between religion and government.” I guess it depends on which historians were consulted and how well they were listening to the Founders.
They incorrectly assume religious Americans want to use government force to impose their religious values on them, because as collectivists, they seek government power to impose the values of their religion, secular fundamentalism, on the majority of the country.

In the 1470s the religious sect known as the 'Judaizers' was discovered in the city of Novgorod and at the court in Moscow: the Jews were accused of having initiated its establishment.
Only religious groups which had been active in the country for at least fifty years and had branches in at least half of Russia's eighty-nine regions could be granted the status of 'all-Russian organizations'.
Religious groups which had operated in Russia for less than fifteen years would be denied the rights of legal entities, including property rights.

 Introduction to Religious Liberty in America (Page 2)
Madison made the case against the General Assessments in his treatise, “Memorial and Remonstrance Against Religious Assessments.” In it, Madison argued that any government establishment in religion, even what in modern terms might be called an “establishment-lite,” constituted an abuse of government power and a “spiritual tyranny” against the human conscience.
Religious liberty was a guarantee through the right of nature to choose — to choose to be different or to choose to be the same — whatever the choice might be,” Goff said.
For Madison and Jefferson, religious liberty and freedom of conscience were beyond the powers of government; they were unalienable and untouchable by the state.

 The Neil Rogers Show - News - A church-state 'solution' that is anything but
Imagine a statehouse or federal building, the walls of which are covered with religious paintings of the Immaculate Conception, the stable scene following the birth of Christ, the visit of the Three Wise Men, the Crucifixion -- all bought and donated by wealthy religious groups.
I don't know how such governmental donations to religious entities had their beginnings but we have gone down a very slippery slope funding religious groups with tax dollars, even when the funds are used for non-religious purposes.
Most of the Founders believed in God, but they believed religious faith was a matter of personal conscience and that civil government had no proper role in aiding, monitoring or harming it -- or in judging whose religion was primary, and whose was not.

Dr Williams also rejected claims that religious approaches to the debate on poverty and world trade lacked rigour: "It has to be said clearly and often that the religious objection to aspects of the current global trade regime is not a sentimental aversion to wealth or a sort of commendation of endless large-scale almsgiving.
Religious believers will say that these 'unreasonable' responses are in fact the most reasonable of all - actions that echo the fundamental act of divine love.
Established in 1822, Christ Church is the oldest Episcopal church in the Diocese of the Central Gulf Coast and the oldest in the State of Alabama.

 Americans United: Religion On Trial
A: Over the course of the 20th century, religious minorities increasingly sought and found refuge in the courts against laws that restricted their freedom.
In 1990, the Supreme Court reversed course, saying that as long as the law is “facially neutral” towards religion – that is, it doesn’t explicitly target a particular religious group or practice – the state does not have to justify legal burdens on the free exercise of religion.
One of the problems with the argument that the court should be bound to the “original intent” of the Founders, which these justices fondly invoke, is the idea that the solutions they proposed to the challenges they faced are adequate to resolve the challenges we now face.

This "religious imperialism" which sprang up in the freedom of America most often resulted in armed conflict around the world and, in the end, the loss of any Christian influence.
However, these were the "Religious Right Extremists" of their day who saw their religion as God's authority for civil control even if a lot of innocent people had to suffer.
Religious domination of civil affairs has always led to the radicalization and hardening of views and never to Christian conversion.

 The Publications Assistance Program: Religious Magazines and Newspapers in Canada
Religious periodicals are magazines and newspapers that identify with a religious tradition to express and/or evoke a sense of the sacred through the recognition of a divine or trans-divine focus.
In practice, members of different religious communities were quick to point out that many of their publications were actually ethnic publications that carry news of "home" or the community worldwide rather than concentrating on religious issues and stories.
Where religious publications seem to play a role in training is the opportunity they give to young journalists and journalism students to work as interns or for short periods before moving on to more mainstream publications.

Furthermore, the very culture which lay at the roots of this collective identity was being challenged by an alien ideology which asserted the rights of the individual over the rights of “the people.” In this challenge between old and new, a way to the future had to be found through an understanding of the past.
However, at its very heart it was a religious response to the modernist impulses found in the developing racialist ideology, emerging capitalist economy, and universal nationalist identity of the nineteenth century.

In 544, Jacob Baradaeus (a Monophysite leader) consecrated Sergius of Tella as Patriarch in opposition to the Imperial-backed Orthodox candidate.
Although the Syrian Orthodox or Jacobite church, like the Coptic, no longer follow the Monophysite doctrine, and are doctrinally almost identical to the Eastern Orthodox churches, old emnities die hard and the church continues to preserve an independent identity, in communion with the Armenian, Coptic, and Abyssinian churches.
During the ascendancy of the Mongols, many notable leaders, including Hulegu (the first Ilkhan), belonged to this church, and though reliable statistics are not available, it is likely that this church, whose remnants today number at most a few million, boasted the largest population of any Christian denomination.
