A Companion to the YEA Life of Christ Series Junior Book Four “Now these are the commandments, the statutes, and the judgments, which the LORD your God commanded to teach you, that ye might do them in the land whither ye go to possess it. And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up” (Deuteronomy 6:1, 7). What could be more important than teaching children the way of God and anchoring them to Jesus Christ? As the Scripture above shows, once a week is not nearly enough. Youth Educational Adventures (YEA) offers an ongoing series of lesson books for five age groups between the ages of three and 20 to be used at home or in Sabbath School. Each YEA book has an easy-to-use Teacher’s Guide available to show you step-by-step how to make each lesson come alive and reach the minds and hearts of those you teach. For your child(ren) to benefit to the fullest, we recommend that you order these YEA books to use along with the following daily activities. The purpose or objective of these easy-to-use, concise activities is to provide at least a week’s worth of activities for you to use: • To give the child an opportunity for self-directed study. • To deepen comprehension and retention of the YEA lessons. • To make the current YEA curriculum more easily adapted to the unique needs of: 1. -

Not Just Wilberforce
Not Just Wilberforce Champions of Human Rights in Hull and East Yorkshire essays for Amnesty International Edited by Ekkehard Kopp and Cecile Oxaal First published in 2014 by Amnesty International UK The Human Rights Action Centre 17-25 New Inn Yard London EC2A 3EA in association with Hull Amnesty Group Copyright rests with individual authors and copyright for the volume is with the Hull Amnesty Group ISBN: 978 1 873328 77 4 Design and typesetting by Kall Kwik Centre Hull, Centre 1292, The Woollen Warehouse, South Church Side, Hull HU1 1RR Printed in Great Britain by Kall Kwik Centre Hull, Centre 1292, The Woollen Warehouse, South Church Side, Hull HU1 1RR Foreword This book is about freedom and Hull. Its contributors have all been variously embedded in the cultural, intellectual and political life of the city over many years: they know of what they speak. Freedom—unlike poetry and prose—does not just happen anywhere. Indeed, it is the case that, although men may be born free, they are too often in chains. Freedom has to be won, sustained and protected. It is always at risk, the fact as well as the word. The argument of this irresistible volume is that, as a city and area, Hull has a proud and distinctive history of resisting forms of oppression, of using an angular independence of thought to challenge the orthodox and of fghting for principles and practical change. Why should this be so? The introduction suggests that it may have had something to do with Hull’s relative isolation and the space it affords for thought. -
Proceedings Wesley Historical Society
Proceedings OFTHE Wesley Historical Society Editor: E. ALAN ROSE, B.A. Volume XLVI February 1988 TWO METHODIST FAMILIES HE interesting account by the late Rev. Dr. Harold K. Moulton, Proceedings xliii, of his family of Methodist Ministers may well T have stimulated research into other families with widespread con nections in Methodism. Certainly this was so in my own family, and the result may be of some interest beyond the bounds of the family itself. My story covers two Methodist families - OSBORN (my father) and DERRY (my mother). As must be the case with other Methodist families, I find direct links withJohn Wesley both on my father's and my mother's side. First, the OSBORN family, though the two families intersect. Rev. Dr. George Osbbrn says in his 'Family Memorial', (compiled about 1839, and published for private circulation in 1877), that the home and seat of the family was in Northampton. The earliest reference I have been able to trace is that a Francis Osborn married Dorothea Atterbury about 1725/26. There are so many Francis Osborns and Atterburys in the Registers in the Northampton area that I have found it extremely difficult to get any further, but Francis and Dorothea had at least two sons, J ames and George. J ames (1729-1771) was a blockmaker who settled in Rochester, Kent, and became a Freeman of that town. He was the father ofGeorge Osborn ofRochester. It hardly needs to be said that it has been not only through Methodism that the family has rendered service to the community. -
NATURALIZATION of the SOUL: Self and Personal Identity in The
NATURALIZATION OF THE SOUL ‘This is an excellent book, with an original and interesting approach to its topic.’ Stephen Gaukroger, University of Sydney. ‘I do not know of any other recent book which is comparable to this one in its focus, range and approach. Naturalization of the Soul makes an important new contribution to the literature on the history of theories of personal identity.’ E.J.Lowe, University of Durham. Naturalization of the Soul charts the development of the concepts of soul and self in Western thought, from Plato to the present. The authors place particular emphasis on the eighteenth century, which witnessed an enormous intellectual transformation in the way theorists perceived self and personal identity and paved the way for contemporary philosophical and psychological debates. The present work fills a very important gap in intellectual history by being the first book to trace the evolution of theories of self and personal identity throughout the eighteenth century. Martin and Barresi initially examine the history of Western thought on self and identity from Plato to Locke. The central chapters analyse the evolution of these concepts from Locke in the seventeenth century to Hazlitt, at the beginning of the nineteenth, exploring the two critical transitions which marked this period: the move from a religious conception of soul to a philosophical conception of self, and then to a scientific conception of mind. This rigorous and erudite study becomes even more compelling by proving that contemporary theories of self that have since the 1960s been debated by philosophers, as if for the first time, were widely discussed in the eighteenth century. -
Cumulative Index to Volume S 51 to 60
ISSN 0043-2873 (Print) ISSN 2632-4466 (Online) PROCEEDINGS OF THE WESLEY HISTORICAL SOCIETY Cumulative Index to Volumes 51 to 60 Prepared by Dr Christine E. Jones INTRODUCTORY NOTE This index to Volumes 51-60 of the Proceedings is a sequel to the General Index to volumes 31 to 50 compiled by John Vickers and published in 1997. It follows closely the style and conventions of its predecessor in that volume numbers are given in Arabic numerals and printed in bold. However, references to publications are now in italics rather than underlined. As before, there are separate indexes to contributors and their articles and to illustrations. There is also an index to book reviews, arranged by author. However, the layout in this index has been altered to correspond to that of the individual indexes to volumes 56 to 60, starting with the Index to Illustrations, then the Index to Contributors and Articles (by author), followed by General Index, and finally the Index to Book Reviews. In the case of extended references, the first and last page numbers are given. The letter ’n’ has been used to draw attention to information located in a footnote. Also like its predecessor, the cumulative index is based on the biennial volume indexes compiled originally by John A. Vickers (volumes 51-55) and Mary Madden (volumes 56-60). Thanks are due to them for their diligence, and to John McCartney (Proceedings Distribution Manager) for providing hard copies of those indexes from which to compile the current work. Errors and omissions are the responsibility of the current indexer and compiler. -
Liberty and Loyalty in the Long Eighteenth Century: a Global History Approach
LIBERTY AND LOYALTY IN THE LONG EIGHTEENTH CENTURY: A GLOBAL HISTORY APPROACH Glen O’Brien This paper was presented at the 8th Australasian Centre for Wesleyan Research Conference in Wellington, New Zealand, 2-3 October 2017. ‘Global history’ focuses on the cultural and social features of international relations. Themes covered by global history in its attempt to connect the ‘local’ with the ‘global’ have included race relations, colonisation, economic forces, migration, and human rights. Religion is an area of study that lends itself well to a global history approach because religious movements always depend upon transnational networks of piety for their spread and consolidation. W.R. Ward claimed that ‘the first great Protestant awakenings arose from an interweaving of pietism, revivalism, and politics.’ John Wesley’s political writings reflect on the impact of Britain’s global conflicts and provide insights into the political responses of the broader religious world of the eighteenth century. The notion of ‘liberty’ was a significant theme in the mentalities that dominated the Atlantic world of the long eighteenth century (1688-1815) and this paper will investigate the two overarching themes of ‘liberty’ and ‘loyalty’ that dominate Wesley’s political thought in order to provide insights into the political responses of the broader religious world of that period. ____________________________________________________ Introduction This paper seeks to situate John Wesley’s political writings historically more than theologically, taking a -

Short Biographies for Contemporary Persons Appearing Recurrently in John Wesley’s Correspondence -prepared by Randy L. Maddox For the Wesley Works Editorial Project [updated: January 5, 2021] Note: Both maiden and married names are shown for women whenever known; their biography appears under the family name used earliest or most frequently in the correspondence. Abraham, Rev. John (fl. 1764–84) A native of the district of Fahan (just outside Londonderry), Abraham took his BA at Trinity College, Dublin in 1768, was ordained, and served as a curate in the Templemore parish of Londonderry and chaplain at the Chapel (of Ease) of the Immaculate Conception in Fahan. In 1776 he was converted under the influence of Rev. Edward Smyth, and joined Smyth for a while preaching in Dublin. In 1778, at JW’s request, Abraham left Ireland to assist at the new Chapel on City Road in London (see his only appearance in the Minutes that year, Works, 10:475). He proved physically and temperamentally unsuited to this role and returned to Ireland the following year. In 1782 he was again in London. The last JW knew of him, Abraham was confined in a hospital as ‘insane’. See J. B. Leslie, Derry Clergy and Parishes (Enniskillen: Ritchie, 1937), 291; Crookshank, Ireland, 1:276, 307, 397, 332; and JW to Alexander Knox, Dec. 20, 1778 & Feb. 7, 1784. Acourt, John (fl. 1740s) Acourt was an ardent Calvinist, whom JW believed was resolved to argue all the early Methodists into his Calvinist view, to set the societies in confusion by endless disputes, or to tell all the world that the Wesley brothers were ‘false prophets’. -

John and Molly: a Methodist Mismarriage
The Asbury Journal 75/1: 46-70 © 2020 Asbury Theological Seminary DOI: 10.7252/Journal.01.2020S.04 Samuel J. Rogal John and Molly: A Methodist Mismarriage Abstract: While not much is known about Mary (Molly) Goldhawk Vazeille, the wife of John Wesley, her story has been interpreted in many ways, and often incorrectly over time. This article explores the historical evidence of her life as a wealthy widow with children who married the founder of Methodism later in life. This contentious relationship is often little understood because of the lack of solid documentation and the multiple interpretations often overlaying the story, which were added by writers with other agendas. It does seem clear that John’s brother Charles was especially unhappy with this marriage in the beginning, and the subsequent events in the relationship led to divisions between the couple that have been open to numerous interpretations. Keywords: Mary (Molly) Goldhawk Vazeille, John Wesley, Charles Wesley, Methodism, marriage Samuel J. Rogal has served in the faculty and administration of Waynesburg College, Iowa State University, SUNY College at Oswego, Mary Holmes College, and Illinois State University before retiring from the chair of the Division of Humanities and Fine arts at Illinois Valley Community College in 1998. He has been a lifelong scholar of the Wesleys, their hymnody, and 18th century British literature. 46 rogal: John and molly 47 the long life of John Wesley (1703-1791) occurred on Monday or Tuesday, February 18 or 19, 1751. A week earlier, Sunday, February 10, on his way, forty-eight-year-old Wesley proceeded to cross London Bridge, where he suffered a hard fall on the ice, “the bone of my ankle lighting on the top of managed to endure through the delivery of a sermon, after which a surgeon bound his leg and “made a shift,“1 enabling him to stumble to the Methodist chapel in West Street, Seven Dials, where he preached again.
