  • The Scroll a Wesley: T HE S CROLL Who Knew?

    The Scroll a Wesley: T HE S CROLL Who Knew?

    SHARON UNITED METHODIST CHURCH NOVEMBER.DECEMBER.2016 V OLUME 4. ISSUE 6 The Scroll A Wesley: T HE S CROLL Who knew? Charles Wesley, younger brother of John was by all accounts a prolific composer. Depending on what site you are looking at, he composed from 100’s of hymns to over 7000. Somewhere in the middle lies the truth. Charles was born December 18, 1707, and was the eighteenth child of Samuel and Susanna. Despite their closeness, Charles and his brother John did not always agree on questions related to their beliefs. Charles was strongly op- posed to the idea of a breach with the Church of England into which they had both been or- dained. Charles experienced his conversion on May 21, 1738 followed by John’s conver- sion a few days later. He began his hymn writing in 1739. There are 150 hymns that are included in the Methodist hymn book Hymns and Praise published in New York and Chicago in 1892, and his hymns are largely notable for being interpretations of Scripture. The 24th of May 2007 was celebrated as the tercentenary of Wesley's birth, with many celebratory events held throughout England, even though Wesley was in fact born in December 1707. The date of May 24th is known to United Methodists as "Aldersgate Day" and commemo- rates the spiritual awakening of first Charles and then John Wesley. In 1995 The Gospel Music Academy recognized his accomplishments by listing his name in the Gospel Music Hall of Fame. What is your favorite Wesley hymn? To name a few: O For a Thousand Tongues; Come Thou Long Expected Jesus; Love Devine, All Love’s Excelling; Ye Servants of God; Jesus Lover of My Soul; A Charge to Keep Have I; Christ From Whom All Blessings Flow.

May our generous God and our compassionate Savior and the life-giving Spirit bless you this day. We welcome you to Trinity Church and to this service. Offering our thanks and praise to our generous and loving Creator is a joyous occasion. Face-to-face worship during a global health crisis, however, presents some challenges.

Exchange peace and greetings with your eyes • Keep 6 feet distance between you and others whenever possible • Observe the flow of “traffic”—use the center aisle to enter and exit by the side doors • Take all bulletins and trash with you at the close of worship For the time being, the nursery is closed. Children are very welcome in the sanctuary. A Children of All Ages Service, intentionally hospitable to young children, is offered outside at 10:30 am.

"Citizens In The Making": Black Philadelphians, The Republican Party And Urban Reform, 1885-1913 Abstract “Citizens in the Making” broadens the scope of historical treatments of black politics at the end of the nineteenth century by shifting the focus of electoral battles away from the South, where states wrote disfranchisement into their constitutions. Philadelphia offers a municipal-level perspective on the relationship between African Americans, the Republican Party, and political and social reformers, but the implications of this study reach beyond one city to shed light on a nationwide effort to degrade and diminish black citizenship. I argue that black citizenship was constructed as alien and foreign in the urban North in the last decades of the nineteenth century and that this process operated in tension with and undermined the efforts of black Philadelphians to gain traction on their exercise of the franchise. For black Philadelphians at the end of the nineteenth century, the franchise did not seem doomed or secure anywhere in the nation.

    Archival Expert Assignment Sheet

    Melissa Range Lawrence University [email protected] Archival expert assignment sheet This term, you will be in charge of leading one class as the “archival expert.” Your assignment is simple: I want you to read nineteenth century newspapers published by African American editors. Using two of the library’s electronic databases—African American Newspapers and/or Accessible Archives—you will make use of digital archives to provide historical context for the day’s reading. Here’s what to do for prep work, step by step: • On the date you’re signed up to be the archival expert, look at when the writer published their works. (So, for example: Frances Ellen Watkins Harper published Poems on Miscellaneous Subjects in 1855.) • Determine a location that is relevant to the writer, if possible. For Harper, this could be Baltimore (where she grew up), Philadelphia (where she lived and worked as an adult), or Boston (where she frequently lectured). • Now choose a newspaper that is relevant to the date and the location of the poet. If you want to get even more specific, you can (for example, you could look at an abolitionist newspaper for Harper). If you can find one, you can also choose a newspaper where the writer published. • Select an issue of the newspaper and read the whole thing: news, editorials, poetry, even the advertisements. (Be forewarned, the print is tiny and there’s a lot of text.) As you read, make note of anything at all—newspaper poems, news items, even weather—that you feel gives interesting context to the work the class will be discussing.

    Church, State and Establishment

    A REPORT ON CHURCH, STATE AND ESTABLISHMENT Received by the Methodist Conference of 2004 SUMMARY OF CONTENTS Introduction (paragraphs 1-10) - an explanation of the background to the report. Beginning with stories (11-22) - examples and stories that are told, from the past and the present, which have a bearing on the subject being discussed. Using stories and experiences (23-29) - initial reflection on how such examples and stories help to shape what we believe about ‘establishment’. Establishment (30-52) - detailed discussion of what the establishment of the Church of England entails at present, concluding with a brief comparison with other situations in the United Kingdom and beyond. Biblical material (53-70) - exploration of biblical material, particularly in the Old Testament, which underpinned discussions of the establishment of the Church of England as it was shaped in earlier centuries. Other biblical texts are also explored, more briefly. Theological material (71-82) - as with the biblical section, an exploration of theological discussions which underpinned early discussions of the establishment of the Church of England, with reflection on how the theological discussions shifted in subsequent centuries. Methodist historical background (83-88) - brief exploration of how the debates on establishment affected, or were discussed in, Methodism, largely before the 20th century. Reflections (89-109) - the drawing out of important strands and implications from the previous material in the report, focusing on such areas as mission and unity and the variety of possible models of Church/state relationships. Conclusions and recommendations (110-119) - recommendations for discussion and action for the British Methodist Church. Resolutions Appendix - a summary of previous Methodist reports on areas related to the subject of establishment, particularly on political responsibility.
