  • An Online Bibliography 1859-2011
    Anabaptism and Mission An Online Bibliography 1859-2011 Edited by Chad Mullet Bauman and James R. Krabill (First Edition) Revised and Updated by Joseph F. Pfeiffer Introduction to the Updated, Online Edition (2011) The following online electronic resource represents my efforts over the last few years, as a student at Associated Mennonite Biblical Seminary (AMBS), with the sponsorship and partnership of the AMBS Mission Studies Center, directed by Walter W. Sawatsky, to update the first print edition of this work: Anabaptism and Mission: A Bibliography, 1859-2000 (Elkhart, IN: Mennonite Mission Network, 2002), compiled and edited through the tremendous and tireless efforts of Chad M. Bauman and James R. Krabill. Throughout the ongoing project thus far, the researching and compiling of sources was a humbling task, as the body of bibliographic materials on this subject never remains static. Not only has the project entailed updating entries of authors and sources listed in the first edition, as well new authors and scholars that have come on the scene in the first decade of the 21 st century, but several more sources even from the 20th century were found and added, as the development of electronic communication and information technology has made a great deal more information and data available, even since the time of the first publication. Furthermore, the author has continued the trend of conceiving of Anabaptist as inherently broader than the mainline Mennonite denominations. Thus, including more materials from other Anabaptists traditions, such as the often over-looked Apostolic Christian tradition (see entries for Sheetz and Donais), as well as the Brethren in Christ Church, allows for the vision of a broader and more contextually diversified vision of Anabaptism to emerge, such as in contexts of the Amazon basin and New Guinea Highlands.

    Peter Webster George Bell, John Masefield and The Coming of Christ: context and significance [An article published in Humanitas. The Journal of the George Bell Institute 10:2 (2009). This version is the last version before typesetting (September 2008), and as such does not include points raised at proof stage. More details on Humanitas may be found at http://www.georgebellinstitute.org.uk/ ] At Whitsuntide 1928, Canterbury cathedral saw four sell-out performances of a newly written Nativity Play by John Masefield, The Coming of Christ. With costumes designed by Charles Ricketts, and with music composed and directed by Gustav Holst, the national profile of the event was very high.1 The commission also stands as Bell‟s first successful attempt to commission a new work of art for the church, and his own assessment of the event‟s significance was clear. Writing to inform the cast of the forced postponement of a repeat performance in 1929, Bell wrote: But if we cannot meet this year we may rejoice that last year we were indeed creators. We have lighted a torch which nothing can extinguish and have given a witness to the fellowship of Religion and Poetry and Art, which will go on telling in ways far beyond our own imagination. A great debt of gratitude was owed to all involved, not only by Bell himself „but the Church, and everyone who cares for things lovely and noble and of good report‟.2 Preaching in 1953 at an anniversary 1 A brief account is given in R.C.D.

While antiquarians and art historians have seen their early modern pasts as nothing more than periods of ‘desecration and pillage’, early modern historians have dismissed cathedrals as medieval ‘fossils’, irrelevant and impermeable to the religious upheavals of the English Reformation.

  • Exalted Order: Muslim Princes and the British Empire 1874-1906
    EXALTED ORDER: MUSLIM PRINCES AND THE BRITISH EMPIRE 1874-1906 KRISTOPHER RADFORD A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES IN PARTIAL FULFILMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY GRADUATE PROGRAMME IN HISTORY YORK UNIVERSITY TORONTO, ONTARIO OCTOBER 2013 © KRISTOPHER RADFORD, 2013 ABSTRACT This dissertation charts the genealogy of a particularly British Indian form of colonial government called indirect rule. Indirect rule, which came to be deployed across several Muslim dominated states of Africa and Asia in the late Victorian period, was by that time a century old British colonial strategy. First employed by agents of the East India Company in the middle of the eighteenth century, this form of imperialism subsumed many of the states which comprised the Indian political landscape in the post- Mughal period. These so-called princely states were not conquered outright by the British, but rather came under their control though a range of technologies, from the deployment of powerful agents and coercive treaties, to the establishment of a discursive framework which conceived of these states as ‘oriental’ and hence requiring of a special form of government. Indirect rule, however, was never the most common form of administration in the British Empire. Even in India, direct rule, where precolonial social and political structures were replaced by new modes of government, was much more common. This work, therefore, explores why in the last quarter of the nineteenth century the architects of British rule in Malaya, Egypt, the Persian Gulf, Zanzibar, and Northern Nigeria all elected to impose variants of this unusual form of government invented in eighteenth-century India.

  • The Journal of the Imperial Society of Knights Bachelor the St Martin
    CHIVALRY Trouthe and Honour The Journal of The Imperial Society of Knights Bachelor Issue No. 35 2018 The St Martin Commission The ISKB Council, in close co-operation with The Dean and Chapter of St Paul’s Cathedral, has now selected an artist to undertake the St Martin’s commission, a painting of St Martin which will hang above the altar in the Knights’ Chapel. Following a thorough selection process, in which four artists were considered, Hughie O’Donoghue RA has been select- ed. Hughie was born in England but lived and worked for many years in County Kilkenny, Ireland. He was awarded a Master’s degree in Fine Art from Gold- smiths in 1982, was Artist in Residence at the National Gallery in the mid-1980s, and is a Royal Academician. Whilst firm- Hughie O’Donaghue RA ly rooted in the present, his work is char- acterised by ‘a reaching back’ into deep cultural memory. He uses figuration and abstraction to explore themes of human identity, memory and experience; and draws on history, mythology and personal records to create works which resonate with emotional intensity. Having seen some of Hughie O’Donoghue’s work, the ISKB Council and the Dean and Chapter are confident that he will paint a memorable picture, identifying the important iconography of St Martin and his symbolic link with chivalry. The commission will be completed in June 2018, in time for our Annual Service on Thursday 19th July 2018. The painting will be prominently displayed above the altar, with a frame that matches the oak panelling, and with suitable light- ing.

  • Table 2 Historical Demises Since My Last Report in 2019. in the Following Table I Have Summarised the Demises Records for 1648 Former Students of the RHS
    Table 2 Historical demises since my last report in 2019. In the following table I have summarised the demises records for 1648 former students of the RHS. Almost all of these follow my research using Family History sites and other sources to determine whether a former student on the InTouch database is still alive or dead. I have always felt it is important to recognise and remember the passing of those former students even if it was many years ago. These records will be entered on to the database and so complete and “close the file”. These past twelve months I have primarily concentrated on the late-1920s to the mid-1930s. In the next year I will continue investigating former old boys from the years 1936 - 1946 (and beyond if time permits). A full record of all known demised former men and women who attended the RHS will be placed in the Digital Archive and updated each year. At the time of writing we now have death records for 3177.

  • Orders of Merit? Hierarchy, Distinction and the British Honours System, 1917-2004
    Orders of Merit? Hierarchy, Distinction and the British Honours System, 1917-2004 Tobias Harper Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2014 © 2014 Tobias Harper All rights reserved ABSTRACT Orders of Merit? Hierarchy, Distinction and the British Honours System, 1917-2004 Tobias Harper One of the central challenges in modern British historiography is the reconciliation of narratives about the nature and meaning of the British Empire with older themes of class and hierarchy. The historiographical shift to empire and away from class since the 1980s and 1990s coincided with a fundamental shift in Britain’s social structure and composition, which itself demands historical explanation. The history of the British honours system – an institution that has blended ideas of class hierarchy with meritocracy and service – can reveal much about social change in twentieth century Britain and its empire. Using a mixture of official and unofficial sources and organized chronologically, my dissertation charts the history of the honours system from the creation of the Order of the British Empire in 1917 to a major set of reforms at the end of the twentieth century and the beginning of the twenty-first. Honours were an active tool of policy and social distinction. Government decisions about who should receive honours and what honours they should receive reveal the importance of different kinds of service and the social class of the individual to be honored. Applied across the whole empire, the system had a double edge: it produced loyalty and kept different social groups in their place.

  • Toward the Trinity: Transforming Theology and Lives of the Ministers in the Worldwide Church of God/Grace Communion International
    TOWARD THE TRINITY: TRANSFORMING THEOLOGY AND LIVES OF THE MINISTERS IN THE WORLDWIDE CHURCH OF GOD/GRACE COMMUNION INTERNATIONAL by Eric Tracy Wilding A thesis submitted to Wycliffe College and the Faculties of the Toronto School of Theology in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Ministry awarded by Wycliffe College and the University of Toronto © Copyright by Eric Tracy Wilding 2012 Toward the Trinity: Transforming Theology and Lives of the Ministers in the Worldwide Church of God/Grace Communion International Eric Tracy Wilding Doctor of Ministry Wycliffe College of the University of Toronto 2012 ABSTRACT The Worldwide Church of God (WCG) was a sect founded by Herbert W. Armstrong. It held a wide array of heterodox doctrines and practices. This started to change in the late 1980s and early 1990s. Among the key changes was the shift from a bitheistic theology to a trinitarian theology. This dissertation explores the effects of this shift on the lives of twelve ministers in the WCG, which is now called Grace Communion International. Specifically it examines the impact that the doctrinal change had on their understanding of and relationship with God, self and congregation. Chapter one gives an introduction the research. It presents a historical, theological, theoretical, biographical and ministerial context for the study. It also gives a general introduction to the participants in the research. ii Chapter two provides and analysis and integration of the historical context of Herbert W. Armstrong, the founder of the WCG, and the denomination. It sets the context in which Armstrong’s religious beliefs grew and were transformed.
