	Deborah Elizabeth Finn :: The Riders ...
		Over the years, many of the funder-initiated circuit rider programs have been phased out in the USA, but the circuit riders continue to serve the sector under different affiliations: as independent consultants, nonprofit management support providers, and not-for-much-profit firms that devote themselves to the needs of mission-based organizations.

	Chronic Murmuring: More Thoughts on Religious Capitalism (i.e., Pluralism)
		Over in Europe, their clergy were also established, and consequently, their laity were fairly lax in religious committment.
		What makes this interesting is that, in order to survive in a highly competitive religious economy, Catholics were forced to become more evangelistic, and also more devotional in their practices.
		In Dolan's words, 'the widespread neglect of religion [to which European immigrants had been accustomed] and the competitive spirit of the American religious environment demanded something more than ritual and ceremony.' Led by the religious orders, especially the Redemptorists, Paulists, Jesuits, and Passionists, Catholic revivalism and devotionalism spread to every region of the nation.

	Material History of American Religion Project--Asbury's powder horn (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		The continuing problem these popular religious movements faced in carrying out their mission to the south was the geographical diffuse nature of settlements.
		They were dangerous to the circuit riders for two principal reasons, (1) because the regions were not well populated and featured a variety of wildlife that was often hostile to the traveler, and (2) because the popular religious movements were met, initially, with much hostility from the southern people.
		While Asbury admonished circuit riders against garnishing weapons to save themselves from mobs, the very fact he carried the pistol suggests some ambiguity regarding the place of violence in the Christian community.

		In the early nineteenth century Emerson, having given up his pastorship at a Unitarian church, was making a new career for himself on the lecture circuit, speaking eloquently on behalf of the new world of America and addressing some of its cultural, religious, and social issues.
		In his lectures at Edinburgh in 1901—2 on "The Varieties of Religious Experience" James had about four hundred enthusiastic auditors, who were drawn by his extraordinary fusion of psychological and religious concerns, both of which were animated by his own personal experience as a young man of radical doubt, depression, and conflicting ambitions.
		A circuit rider to colleges and liberal organizations in the 1940s and 1950s, Niebuhr yoked together the political ideals of modern liberalism with a conservative theological respect for the symbols and myths of Biblical Christianity, which he found expounded with intellectual power in the European existentialist-Christian theologies of Soren Kierkegaard, Paul Tillich, and Emil Brunner.
