  • Social Capital and Religion: the Contribution of Church in Mizoram

    Social Capital and Religion: the Contribution of Church in Mizoram

    !" #! $ % #$# &'& Abstract This article discusses the concept of social capital and the role of religion, mainly Church, in producing what is known as Religious Social Capital in Mizoram. Drawing from various scholars, it attempts to define the concept of social capital by touching upon different dimensions associated with it. The multiple ways through which different religion related aspects help, shape and generate the stock of society’s social capital have been identified. It concludes that religious congregation is one major site for the generation of social capital in Mizo society. Keywords: social capital, religion, church, Christianity, Mizoram. Introduction Academic discussions of social capital show an increasing interest in the role of religion 1 and faith-based associations as an agent of its formation. There is a growing corpus of literature about the strategic role that religious organisations such as churches are playing in fostering and producing social capital leading to social cohesion and cooperation, inclusion, networks, shared norms of reciprocity, associational life, civic engagement, political activity etc. 2 In this light, this paper aims to find out the manner and extent to which church can be considered as an (*M. Phil Research Scholar, Centre for Political Studies, Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi: Email: [email protected]) important builder of social capital in the present Mizo society. Focusing on the institutional aspects and membership, it is hypothesized that churches in Mizoram have been occupying the central place in the lives of the Mizos. They are providing common places and opportunity for people to meet, creating social networks of friends and neighbours, facilitating involvement and participation in voluntary associations concerned with the health and wealth of the community, enabling the members to develop a diverse range of civic skills like leadership skills, negotiation and bargaining tactics that are instrumental in active involvement in the political affairs of one’s society etc.

    Excerpts from the Color of Compromise Jemar Tisby Chapter

    Excerpts from The Color of Compromise Jemar Tisby Chapter 1 THE COLOR OF COMPROMISE Four young girls busily prepared for their big day. It was September 15, 1963, the day of the “Youth Day” Sunday service at Sixteenth Street Baptist Church in Birmingham, Alabama, and the girls, along with the other young people of the congregation, would spend the next few hours singing songs, reciting poems, praying, and giving encouraging messages in front of hundreds of beaming parents. The girls— Addie Mae Collins (14), Denise McNair (11), Carole Robertson (14), and Cynthia Wesley (14)—had just finished Sunday school and were in the church basement making final adjustments to their white dresses when the bomb exploded. The blast, which killed all four girls and injured at least twenty others, left a hole in the floor five feet wide and two feet deep. It decapitated Cynthia. Her parents could only identify her body by her feet and by the ring she was wearing. A newspaper report at the time indicated that all of the church’s stained-glass windows had been destroyed except one. That window depicted “Christ leading a group of little children. The face of Christ was blown out.” [* * *] Before the funeral, on the day after the bombing, a young, white lawyer named Charles Morgan Jr. delivered a lunchtime speech at Birmingham’s all-white Young Men’s Business Club. Of course, he had heard about the tragedy in his city, and this lifelong southerner jotted down some words about racism and complicity that would prove to be a turning point in his life.

    A Concept for Union and an Identity Marker for Mizo Christians

HISTORICAL THEOLOGY HEAVENLY CITIZENSHIP: A CONCEPT FOR UNION AND AN IDENTITY MARKER FOR MIZO CHRISTIANS MARINA NGURSANGZELI BEHERA* ABSTRACT. Paul, as it is well known, was a citizen of the Roman Empire and he wrote these words about citizenship to a young congregation in a Hellenistic city. The Greek word „in Philippians 3:20” he uses here is translated differently as “conservation” (KJV), as “home” and as “citizenship” in the New American Standard (NAS) translation. So, Christian citizenship is in heaven - not on earth. It is from there Christians expect their Lord and savior to come. Yet, while living on earth and waiting until He comes and while being part of the larger human community each and every one is a member of political unit, a nation or a state or a tribe. The knowledge of the heavenly citizenship gives Christians an indication where to hope for true citizenship and gives at the same time a clear indication to distinguish between “heavenly” affairs and their allegiance to worldly powers on earth. During the initial period of the history of Christianity in Mizoram in order to differentiate one’s new identity was the conviction and the declaration that one is now Pathian mi (God’s people) and vanram mi (heavenly citizen). This significant concept and understanding of what it means for the Mizo to be Christian is reflected prominently in Mizo indigenous hymns and gospel songs as well as in the preaching of the Gospel, where it is declared that one is no longer a citizen of this “earthly world” (he lei ram mi), but of the “heavenly world” (van ram mi).

Rainsford Historian of the Edgefield County Historical Society Published upon the Occasion of the Initiation of the Restoration of the Church Property April 13, 2014 2014 The Early History of Horn’s Creek Church © Bettis C. Rainsford By: Bettis C. Rainsford Horn’s Creek is a tributary of Stevens Creek in Edgefield County, South Carolina. Its headwaters are near the Pine House and it runs and This publication is dedicated in loving meanders in a westerly and southwesterly direction some sixteen miles to its mouth at Stevens Creek. From its mouth it is approximately seven memory of: miles to the mouth of Stevens Creek where Stevens Creek runs into the Savannah River. Approximately four miles below its headwaters and twelve miles above its mouth, on a ridge on the north side of the creek, stands an ancient church which will soon celebrate the 250th anniversary of its founding. Founded in 1768, Horn’s Creek Church soon became the center of religious activity for a sparsely-populated area that stretched for nearly ten miles in every direction. It was one of two churches in the region, both of which had been founded by the “New Light” or “Separate” or “Irregular” Baptist movement which was a part of the “Great Awakening” of the mid- eighteenth century. When President George Washington passed through this county on his Southern Tour in 1791, the Church had already been serving the religious needs of the people for nearly a quarter of a century. In the decades following its founding, the population of the Horn’s Creek neighborhood grew rapidly.

    VOICES from the PAST; VOICES for the PEW: History of Support of the Direct Linkage Between Trustees and the SBC Churches

    Journal for Baptist Theology and Ministry Vol. 2 No. 1 (Spring 2004): 6-21 VOICES FROM THE PAST; VOICES FOR THE PEW: History of Support of the Direct Linkage Between Trustees and the SBC Churches Ergun Mehmet Caner Associate Professor of Theology and Church History Liberty University 1971 University Blvd. Lynchburg, VA 24502 Outsiders often assume that the president of the Southern Baptist Convention sits at the top of a denominational hierarchy, supervises a vast denominational bureaucracy, and directs the work of the Convention by a command-and-control system of authority. This is a natural assumption, for this would be the case in hierarchical systems of denominational polity. But the Southern Baptist Convention is not a hierarchical system, and no individual sits at the top of a denominational flowchart.1 In his forward to the author’s book on the lives of the fifty-two Southern Baptist Convention presidents, Dr. R. Albert Mohler adroitly notes the clear distinction of polity between the Free Church movement, in which Southern Baptists are found, and all other forms of external and internal ecclesiastical authority. We have no ruler. We have no owner. We are a voluntary cooperation of local churches, which have the singular authority to maintain their autonomy. As shall be seen, the trustee system was a systematic and conscious choice by Southern Baptist forefathers to maintain explicitly the direct linkage between the institutions we own and the local churches. As shall be further noted, any violation of the direct linkage between trustees and churches is a direct violation of Southern Baptist’s historical stance on polity.

  • Untitled Sermon, “June 1, 1800,” Abiel Holmes Papers, Massachusetts Historical Society

    Untitled Sermon, “June 1, 1800,” Abiel Holmes Papers, Massachusetts Historical Society

    ABSTRACT Gospel of Liberty: Antislavery and American Salvation by Ben Wright Americans understood and sought to solve the problem of slavery in terms strongly colored by understandings of religious conversion. In the early-eighteenth century, Great Awakening revivals fueled a new belief in the transformative nature of religious conversion. By the antebellum era, theological changes – coupled with democratization and sectionalism – prompted greater direct confrontation with social reform. Historians have chronicled the role of religion in motivating antislavery thought, but by privileging political action over religious sentiment, earlier work misses non-political manifestations of early antislavery. If we take religious belief seriously and seek to understand antislavery motivations, the question is not whether reformers were gradualist or immediatist in political action, but whether or not they ascribed to the expectations of conversionist or purificationist causation. While conversionists sought to destroy slavery through the millennial expansion of salvation, other Christians looked within, laboring to purify their own communities through coercive action. Imperatives of conversion drove ministers to consolidate religious authority in new national denominational bodies. Forming these bodies had the unintended side effect of pushing denominationalists toward social reform. This process added organized social reform as an additional religious solution, alongside that of conversionist millennialism, to the era’s social problems. In the early 1830s, the conversionist consensus cracked, and a new coercive, sectionalist antislavery took its iii" place. Conversionist appeals continued, but the antislavery of men and, increasingly, women challenged the causation of conversion and began to look to political agitation as a means of reform. Each stage of this progression shaped the worlds of American antislavery.
