	John Leland (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		John Leland was born on 18 October 1691 at Wigan, Lancashire and died in Dublin, where his family moved while he was still young.
		Leland is a polemical writer and is therefore more concerned to defend the claims of Christianity than to represent origins and motives of the deistic movement.
		Leland does not view this variety as characteristic of a complex historical movement, but as evidence of a single-minded plan to discredit the authority of revelation, Scripture and the Christian institution which is founded upon them.

	21269-6-III - Personal Restraint Petition John E. Leland File Date: 01/16/2003
		Leland requested that the infraction be expunged from his disciplinary file; or, in the alternative, that he receive a disciplinary hearing that comports with due process.
		Leland's petition is moot because it held the rehearing -- one of the alternative forms of relief he requested -- and now he is no longer under unlawful restraint as a result of the February 7 hearing.
		Leland is entitled to relief from personal restraint arising from the serious infraction hearing if he can prove actual and substantial prejudice resulting from constitutional error, or that a nonconstitutional error has inherently resulted in a miscarriage of justice.

	Interview with John Leland (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		John Leland: I was born in NYC and lived in suburban New Jersey from age three until I left for Columbia College in New York in 1977.
		John Leland: I think what was exciting in that period was that even as the genre barriers were going up, and people like us in the music press were working to define them, the interesting musicians either mixed genres or played with ambiguities.
		John Leland: I concern myself with hip in its fundamental sense, the Wolof (West African) hepi or hipi, meaning "to see" or "to open one's eyes," so I think of it as a term of enlightenment or awareness, cultivated (and co-opted, otherwise we wouldn't have the word) under the gaze of a potentially hostile Other.

	FBF - John Leland: Fighting for Religious Liberty
		In 1774, twenty-year-old Leland was baptized and licensed as a preacher.
		Leland’s victory, however, was quickly overshadowed by a much greater controversy in 1788—the ratification of the Constitution.
		He also told Leland that if he (Madison) were elected to the convention and if the Constitution were ratified, he would introduce a list of amendments, granting the civil and religious rights to the people that Leland felt were of utmost importance.

	Powell's Books - Hip: The History by John Leland

		Leland needn't worry: though hip will always be a matter of perception, few will be able to read this eclectic history without agreeing it's on to something.
		John Leland is a reporter for the New York Times and former editor in chief of Details, and he was an original columnist at SPIN magazine.

	Religious freedom champion John Leland also active in public policy, Land says - (BP) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Neither Leland or his contemporary, Thomas Jefferson -- both noted champions of the separation of church and state -- perceived that concept to preclude active interaction of ministers, politicians and public policy, Land stressed in his address at the Birmingham, Ala., school affiliated with Samford University.
		Leland's stand on the institution of slavery, while less known than his views on religious liberty, was no less close to his heart, Land said.
		While critical of the government-sponsored church as "a champion of the separation of church and state," Leland felt no remorse in interjecting himself in the nation's political dialogue, not only in calling on the government to free and assist the former slaves, but in his contempt for the concept of a national bank, Land said.

		Leland was even invited to preach to both the houses of congress with the president in the audience.67 The only reference Leland made to this incident is his autobiographical sketch reads as follows: "In November, 1801, I journeyed to the south, as far as Washington, in charge of a cheese, sent to President Jefferson.

	Crying Wolof - Does the word hip really hail from a West African language? By Jesse Sheidlower
		Leland goes on to use the etymology of the word as a framing device for part of his argument: Hip—the word and the concept—"was one of the tools Africans developed to negotiate an alien landscape, and one of the legacies they contributed to it." Sounds fascinating, right?
		Leland cites as his source Juba to Jive, a 1994 dictionary of fl slang written by Clarence Major, which asserts that hip dates from the 1700s in American English.
		Leland also wrote to me, "Of all the proposed etymologies I saw, the case for slave origins struck me as the strongest, earliest and most edifying." But the case is strong only because it sounds right, and it is early only because it is said to be early, not because there's any evidence for it.

		Leland's narratives put us right in the middle of some of the most provocative scenes: minstrel shows, the beats, bebops, early hip-hop and grafetti art, to name a few.
		Leland's basic thesis that hip comes from the fusion of fl and white cultures, and especially "his" big idea about the white boy who stole the blues is a flat-out rip-off of some major texts in American studies, especially Eric Lott's _Love and Theft_.
		Leland thinks the history of pop culture is NOT a sidelight of American culture: it's at the heart of it.

		Baptists apparently determined to nominate Leland, and oppose Madison, as the delegate from Orange County at Virginia's convention to ratify the Constitution.

	Hip by John Leland: Reviews
		What is "hip?" That question is pondered by current New York Times reporter (and former music critic and editor of Details magazine) John Leland, who views the concept through a prism of race relations (among other factors) throughout American history.
		The breadth and sophistication of his argument is admirable, but it wouldn't be as convincing without his engaging tone, which shuns condescension to invite readers into a genial conversation.
		Leland is a fluid writer, capable of unfurling a nice phrase, able to walk a very thin line in writing dispassionately about hip without coming off as an embalmer.

	Aliens in the Backyard
		Mixing natural history with engaging anecdotes, Leland cuts through patriotic and problematic myths coloring our grasp of the natural world and suggests that the stories of how these alien species have reshaped our landscape are as much a part of the continent's heritage as tales of our presidents and politics.
		Written with a genuine appreciation for nature's resiliency, Leland's ode to survival reveals how plant and animal immigrants have made the country as much an environmental melting pot as its famed melding of human cultures, and he invites us to reconsider what it means to be American.
		John Leland is the author of Porcher's Creek: Lives between the Tides, which is both a natural history of a South Carolina waterway and a memoir of his childhood there.

		In Hip: The History, John Leland wisely eschews discussion of what exactly hip is. Rather, he spends the majority of his pages exploring what creates hip.
		Starting with the etymology of the word "hip" (a term of enlightenment first used by slaves from Senegal and coastal Gambia in the 18th century) through its current, already-on-the-verge-of-obsolete usage, Leland traces the history of the concept of hip as a signifier of everything from social status to national identity.
		Leland's examination of what constituted a century of hip is fascinating and well researched.

		Messengers meanwhile enhanced their relationship with the John Leland Center for Theological Studies, a five-year-old seminary based in Falls Church, increasing their allocation by 300 percent and moving it from a world mission giving track to the Virginia portion of the budget, which is more widely used by churches.
		But the university attracted the ire of some Virginia Baptists last August when religion department chair John Laughlin wrote an article in a Danville newspaper endorsing the action of the Episcopal Church to ordain an openly homosexual bishop and criticizing a literal method of interpreting the Bible.
		Harrow also said the budget committee took into account Leland's strategy, which he said is to offer theological education to ministers unable to travel long distances for classes.
