  • " a Great and Lasting Beginning": Bishop John Mcmullen's

    " a Great and Lasting Beginning": Bishop John Mcmullen's

    22 Catholic Education/June 2005 ARTICLES “A GREAT AND LASTING BEGINNING”: BISHOP JOHN MCMULLEN’S EDUCATIONAL VISION AND THE FOUNDING OF ST. AMBROSE UNIVERSITY GEORGE W. MCDANIEL St. Ambrose University Catholic education surfaces as a focus and concern in every age of the U.S. Catholic experience. This article examines the struggles in one, small Midwestern diocese surrounding the establishment and advancement of Catholic education. Personal rivalries, relationship with Rome, local politics, finances, responding to broader social challenges, and the leadership of cler- gy were prominent themes then, as they are now. Numerous historical insights detailed here help to explain the abiding liberal character of Catholicism in the Midwestern United States. n the spring of 1882, Bishop John McMullen, who had been in the new IDiocese of Davenport for about 6 months, met with Father Henry Cosgrove, the pastor of St. Marguerite’s (later Sacred Heart) Cathedral. “Where shall we find a place to give a beginning to a college?” McMullen asked. Cosgrove’s response was immediate: “Bishop, I will give you two rooms in my school building.” “All right,” McMullen said, “let us start at once” (The Davenport Democrat, 1904; Farrell, 1982, p. iii; McGovern, 1888, p. 256; Schmidt, 1981, p. 111). McMullen’s desire to found a university was not as impetuous as it may have seemed. Like many American Catholic leaders in the 19th century, McMullen viewed education as a way for a growing immigrant Catholic population to advance in their new country. Catholic education would also serve as a bulwark against the encroachment of Protestant ideas that formed the foundation of public education in the United States.

    Nonreligion and Secularity in Canada Introduction

    Secular Studies 3 (2021) 1–6 brill.com/secu Nonreligion and Secularity in Canada Introduction Zachary A. Munro Department of Sociology and Legal Studies, University of Waterloo, Waterloo, ON, Canada [email protected] Sarah Wilkins-Laflamme University of Waterloo, Waterloo, ON, Canada [email protected] This special issue of Secular Studies critically engages with key theoretical debates in nonreligion and secularity studies and contributes to a growing body of empirical research on the Canadian secular landscape. Having gained increasing attention from scholars over the past two decades, there is now a growing body of research in the subfield of nonreligion and secular studies. Notable focuses have been on nonreligious communities, such as the Sunday Assembly (e.g. Cross 2017; Smith 2017; Mortimer, Tim, and Melanie Prideaux 2018), nonreligious identities (e.g. Hacket 2014; Lanman et al. 2019; Lee 2014, 2015; Manning 2015; Sumerau and Cragun 2016; Voas and Day 2010; Zucker- man and Shook 2017), irreligious disaffiliation (e.g. Nica 2020; Thiessen and Wilkins-Laflamme 2017; Zuckerman 2012), political polarization (Baker and Smith 2015; Wilkins-Laflamme 2016), and on how the nonreligious meaning- fully differ from their religious counterparts in values and life behaviors (Man- ning 2015; Thiessen and Wilkins-Laflamme 2020; Zuckerman 2008, 2014). Further existing research has engaged with theoretical debates regarding the categories of ‘nonreligion’ and ‘secularity’ (Lee 2012, 2014, 2015; Quack 2014; Quack and Schuch 2017; Quack et al. 2020) and potential replacement cate- gories, such as ‘worldview’ and ‘meaning makings systems’ (Taves 2020; Taves et al. 2018) or ‘cosmic belief systems’ (Baker and Smith 2015), as well as the multiplicity of secularities (Lee 2015; 2019; Taylor 2007; Wohlrab-Sahr and Bur- chardt 2012).

During this time three Vincentians served as provincial directors: Francis Burlando, 1853-1873; Felix Guidry, 1873-1877; and Alexis Mandine, 1877-1892. Each ofthem guided, supported, made recommendations, and directed the spiritual journey of the prov­ ince. Nevertheless, it was Mother Euphemia who bore the responsi­ bility for the province, which now extended from New England to California. Her effectiveness in rebuilding, unifying, deepening roots, expanding services and coping with social problems influenced the direction taken by the Community well into the twentieth century. The fIrst problems to be faced were the direct results of the war: a multitude of sick and disabled, widows and orphans, unemployed and homeless - particularly in the South, which lacked resources to help them; a bitter regionalist spirit which· threatened to infJItrate even the Community; and the challenge to adapt, to meet crises with new services in new locales.

    The Sociology of the Sunday Assembly: ‘Belonging Without Believing’ in a Post- Christian Context Josh BULLOCK The thesis is being submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the University for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Sociology. Kingston University London Submitted September 2017 Acknowledgements This research would not have been possible without the participants who volunteered to be interviewed about their experiences of attending the Sunday Assembly and for welcoming me into their homes. Furthermore, I would like to express gratitude towards the Sunday Assembly London and the wider Sunday Assembly community for making me always feel welcome. Additionally, it would not have been possible without the permission of and support from Sanderson Jones (co-founder), who allowed me early on to gain access to the Sunday Assembly and research it from an ethnographic perspective. I would not have been able to research the Sunday Assembly without the financial support of a part-funded scholarship provided by Kingston University. This scholarship allowed me to move to London to start my research. Special mention goes to my principal supervisor, Dr Sylvia Collins-Mayo. My PhD has been a series of amazing experiences and I wish to thank Dr Collins-Mayo not only for her incredible academic guidance, but also for allowing me to grow independently as a researcher and providing constant support and encouragement. I also wish to express profound gratitude to my secondary supervisor, Dr Sonya Sharma, who has equally provided incredible guidance throughout the course of my studies. I would like to thank Professor Basia Spalek, who was part of my supervisory team during my first year.

    Modern but Not Meaningless: Nonreligious Cultures and Communities in the United States

    Modern but Not Meaningless: Nonreligious Cultures and Communities in the United States A Dissertation SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA BY Jacqueline Frost IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Penny Edgell, Advisor June 2020 Modern but Not Meaningless: Nonreligious Cultures and Communities in the United States © 2020 by Jacqueline Frost All rights reserved Acknowledgements This dissertation is the product of support and feedback from numerous mentors, colleagues, friends, family members, and community members. First, I would like to thank the nonreligious people who participated in my project, especially the members of the Minneapolis/St. Paul chapter of the Sunday Assembly. Without their willingness to welcome me into their community, share their stories with me, and provide continuous feedback on my research questions, this project would not have been possible. I am forever grateful to everyone who took time out of their day to sit with me for interviews, who shared their nonreligious narratives with me, and who allowed me to document the often difficult, vulnerable, and emotional process of building community and ritual. Their kindness and openness allowed me to shed new light on the increasingly diverse population of atheists, agnostics, and “nothing in particulars” that make up the growing nonreligious demographic in the United States. I hope this dissertation adequately conveys the passion and dedication with which so many nonreligious people are working to improve their communities and create meaning in our complex world. This dissertation would also not have been possible without my advisor, Penny Edgell. Words cannot fully express what Penny’s mentorship has meant to me and the thousands of ways, both big and small, that her support and guidance have made me a better scholar, teacher, and writer.
