	Protestant Union - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Protestant Union or Evangelical Union or Union of Auhausen was a coalition of Protestant German states that was formed in 1608 to defend the rights, lands and person of each member.
		It was formed after the Holy Roman Emperor tried in 1607 to reestablish Catholicism in Donauworth and after a majority of the Reichstag decided the renewal of the Peace of Augsburg of 1555 should be conditional upon the restoration of all church land appropriated since 1552.
		The Catholic League was formed shortly afterwards in response, headed by Duke Maximilian I of Bavaria.

	Thirty Years' War - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Bohemians, desperate for allies against the Emperor, applied to be admitted to the Protestant Union, led by their original candidate for the Bohemian throne, the Calvinist Frederick V, Elector Palatine.
		Count Bucquoy, the commander of the Austrian army, defeated the forces of the Protestant Union at the Battle of Sablat, led by Count Mansfeld, on 10 June 1619.
		That defeat caused the dissolution of the League of Evangelical Union and the destruction of Frederick V's holdings.

	Protestant Union
		Protestant Union, in German history, an alliance of German Protestant leaders of cities and states, founded in 1608 for the avowed purpose of defending the lands, person, and rights of each individual member.
		The Protestant Union was weakened from the start by the absence of such powerful Protestant princes as the elector of Saxony, and it never operated very effectively.
		In French history, the alliance (1573–74) of Huguenot cities, districts, and nobles in the Wars of Religion is also known as the Protestant Union.

		Ferdinand II fought alongside (but separately from) the Catholic League led by Duke Maximilian of Bavaria, who was aided by the military help of General Tilly.
		The Catholic League and Ferdinand II defeated Frederick V at the Battle of White Mountain, near Prague in 1620.
		That defeat caused the falling apart of the League of Evangelical Union, and the destruction of Frederick V's holdings: He was outlawed from the Holy Roman Empire, and his territories (the Rhenish Palatinate) were given to Catholic nobles; his title of elector of the Palatinate was given to Duke Maximilian of Bavaria.

	Kingdomrain.net - First Response: Evangelizing the Ivy League
		The Times goes on to comment that evangelical ministries have been hobbled because of inadequate salaries, staff uncomfortable in elite colleges of the Northeast, and the absence of student center facilities for evangelicals near the campuses.
		For the Times, this evangelical movement is a sociological phenomena identified with the rising fortunes of evangelicals politically, culturally and economically.
		Evangelicals have gained intellectual stature, public recognition, and prosperity coming from “the Sun Belt expansion of the 1970’s and the Texas oil boom, which brought new wealth and businesses to the regions where evangelical churches had been most heavily concentrated.” At the same time, evangelicals tended to shift from the Democratic to Republican parties.

	Protestant Union (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		The formation of the Union provoked the counter-alliance of the Catholic League (1609) under Maximilian.
		From its beginnings, the Union was beset with internal strife between its Lutheran and Calvinist members and between the cities and the territorial magnates.
		When, in 1620, the forces of the League were poised for attack against Friedrich V of the Palatinate, who had accepted the Bohemian crown, the Union's members, guaranteed of their prerogatives by Maximilian, refused to go to Friedrich's aid.

	Fact-esque, A Reality-Based Blog: Union
		A global coalition of unions is launching an unprecedented campaign to organize workers around the world at US retail giant Wal-Mart, seeking to bring a new level of globalization to the labor movement.
		Union bashing is also mentioned as a WalMart practice but quickly followed by the assurance that WalMart remains "staunchly anti-union." But what the story doesn't make entirely clear is that the information that is driving down WalMart's image is coming, in large part, from the efforts of organized labor.
		Union power in the private sector began to wane in the 1970s, and it's not a coincidence that this was exactly the same time that middle class wages began to stagnate, CEO pay began to skyrocket, and income inequality began increasing inexorably.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Union of Christendom
		These were originally Nestorians, having been first evangelized, as we have seen, by the early Nestorians; the Portuguese sought to catholicize them by very harsh means, and succeeded only in attracting their dislike.
		The fourth great breach in the union of Christendom was that caused by the Protestant Reformation of the sixteenth century.
		By this Union a considerable portion of the Ruthenians, the race that had formed the original nucleus of the Russian Empire, was officially reunited with the Holy See, but it was not for some time, and after the fiercest opposition, that the main body of that people were gained over to the union.

	Comments of Ohio Credit Union League on S7-12-01
		Credit unions are member-owned non-profit cooperative financial institutions governed by unpaid volunteers that predominately engage and provide various financial services to their members.
		Additionally, since credit unions are subject to a similar regulatory formula and examination structure as banks and thrifts, they should therefore have the same opportunities and flexibility to offer products and services to their members as banks and thrifts offer to their customers.
		More importantly, inclusion of credit unions would also be consistent with the Ohio state legislators' extension of specific exceptions to the broker-dealer definition pursuant to state security laws, to banks, thrifts, and credit unions as evidenced by legislation that has been signed into law.

		Give up Donauworth!"--and an "Evangelical Union," with moneys, with theoretic contingents of force, being on foot for that and the like objects;--we can fancy what a scramble this of Cleve-Julich was like to be; and especially what effect this duelling attitude of Brandenburg and Neuburg had on the Protestant mind.
		"Evangelical Union," formed some two years before, with what cause we saw, has Kur-Pfalz [Winter-King's Father; died 9th September, 1610, few days after this recapture of Julich.] at the head of it: but its troops or operations were never of a very forcible character.
		Add to these phenomena, the now decisive appearance of a "Catholic LIGA" (League of Catholic Princes), which, by way of counterpoise to the "Union," had been got up by Duke Maximilian of Bavaria several months ago; and which now, under the same guidance, in these bad circumstances, took a great expansion of figure.

		And I contend that Evangelical theology is unsettled on this, wanting to affirm a "sacramental/incarnational" approach that brings them together, yet very much in thrall to the "dialectical," Barthian approach that insists on divorcing grace and nature, I think to protect the uniqueness, the otherness/holiness of God.
		Evangelicals centered in Jesus Christ reacted and feared aesthetics or shunned then (Did we ever dismiss them?) when aesthetics became "aesthetolatry", the idolatry of beauty, after the Enlightenment and into the Romantic period with the promiscuity of Rousseau, Sade and his sadism, Wagner promoting ancient Germanic pagan religion, etc.
		Consult the Evangelical critics, such as R.C. Sproul, on this: if the human beneficiary of justification BECOMES righteous (i.e., the Catholic, 'infused justification' position), then (per Sproul) this is the end of the gratuity of justification.

		Many evangelical Christians take the Bible literally when it says that Jews are God's "chosen people." Quite a few Jews think this too but, surprisingly, fewer than you might think.
		Anyway, because evangelicals believe this, some of them support Israel out of a bedrock faith that God gave all of the land of biblical Israel to his chosen people.
		There are plenty of pragmatic objections to the support of evangelicals; they primarily take the form of worrying that the support of Christian conservatives in America will embolden Israeli hawks to avoid compromise with the Palestinians.
