The first was a brief sketclt of the begilz~~iilgand growth of the work in South Chii~a.The secoild was air otrtline of the work in Manclzzckuo written bg the Rev. J. G. Vos. The third is the story of tlze work itt Syria written by the Rev. A. J. McFarland, D.D. The foi~rth covers the work ill the Cypr~csfield and is written by Mr. Wilbtcr W. Weir. While tentative efforts had been put forth earlier the CIz~~rchdid not get a real start in Cyprus until ISQG. The work then begun has been carried on contin~~o~rslysince. It started as aiz offshoot of our Syrian Missioia. While the beginning of the work seeirred to have been alinost acci- dental, rather than the result of deliberate p1aniziit.g and foresight, it was intended to be an integral part of the work in Sgria. Bz~tthe event proved that it was the opening of another field with a difJerent lailguage, l~istory and outlook. As the years passed it was found that tlze probleins and conditions were so different, with no coin- moil langr~agesave English, that they became two inde- pendent nzission fields.

  • The Churches and Emigration from Nineteenth
    Conclusion In 1902, shortly after the Irish Catholic bishops jointly issued what seemed a definitive, downbeat resolution on the ‘ruinous’ outflow of the previous half-century, the Irish Ecclesiastical Record also played host to a transatlantic clerical spat on the same subject.1 Initiated by the idiosyncratic American dispatches of a Dublin-based Oblate mission Father, M. F. Shinnors, and answered by an Irish-American priest, John Talbot Smith, the row was in several respects nothing new. Just as Shinnors rehashed the careworn arguments about Irish Catholic apostates that ‘may be counted by the million’, Smith countered in familiar terms that such claims were exaggerated, and, in any case, if true, ‘the explanation of apostasy will have to be made by their leaders at home’.2 These lines – the meat of their arguments – were well rehearsed, but the two men also offered further hallmarks of the Irish priest’s view of emigration from Ireland. Smith suggested that while the Irish migrant would find no better home than the United States, he should ‘consider change carefully, study the matter soberly, make shrewd preparations, and not let go of the bird in the hand until quite sure of the two in the bush’. Shinnors, meanwhile, dispensed clichés like Hail Marys at a Novena; on one hand Irishmen could be justly proud of having contributed so much towards the fabric of the ‘great’ nation, while on the other, the defective ‘moral atmosphere’ of the country presented a danger to their faith, the Irish failed to thrive as immigrants compared with other national groups, and the particular innocence of the Irish female emigrant put her in the path of evil.

  • Better Worse
    For Better for Worse – The Role of Religion in Development Cooperation of Religion The Role – For Better for Worse For Better For Better for Worse The Role of Religion in Development Cooperation for Worse Can development cooperation be effective without a genuine understanding of religion and religious The Role of Religion in Development Cooperation actors? Considering that religion is an integral part of life for a majority of the world’s population and that sustainable change builds on peoples own resources, the obvious answer is no. Religion affects the way people think, act and understand the world they live in as well as permeating the cultures and the fabrics of our societies. Sometimes it is an asset, sometimes a problem. In both cases a thorough understanding and analysis of the world of religion is a necessity. This anthology has been written in order to offer the reader inspiration and knowledge about the role of religion in development cooperation; to introdu- ce the theme to those who might not be familiar with these perspectives and add to the knowledge of those who are already well versed within this field. Whether you are connected to a secular or faith-based organisation, dealing with development issues within politics or as a civil servant, if you are a student or simply have an interest in international development issues - this book is written with you in mind. The contributors are some of the most relevant academics and practitioners within their respective fields. As religion concerns most areas of life, the articles cover a wide variety of themes: from peace Odén Edited by Robert and conflict to climate change and the HIV epidemic, from the influence of growing religious movements such as the Pentecostal-charismatic movement to masculinity norms and women’s rights.

  • We Remember Our Heritage
    Digitized by the Internet Archive in 2014 https://archive.org/details/werememberourherOOIeef Co, WE REMEMBER OUR HERITAGE FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH 1880-1976 Florence Winstead Lee i PREFACE This is the history of the First Baptist Church, Rocky Mount, N.C., from 1880 to 1976, in which we reverently recall how God has worked out his purposes through the mem- bers of his Body in this church. We stand in awe and amazement as we view his accomplish- ments, using our fragile strength, undeterred by our weakness, sin, and little faith. May the remembering inspire us and our successors to deeper faith, greater spiritual strength and purer lives, so that the years to come will prove more worthy of our Lord of Lords and King of Kings. Florence W. Lee Church Historian ii # 4 // 3g DEDICATION This history is lovingly dedicated to all who worship in this place, past, present, and future generations. May the reader find in its pages a warning, a guide, and a beckoning hope. iii Dr. John D. Cave MESSAGE from OUR MINISTER "I never weary of great churches. Mankind was never so happily inspired as when he made a cathedral", wrote Robert Louis Stevenson. During the past century, the saints of Rocky Mount have been engaged in making a great church. The steel, the stones, the stained glass windows have been united at the corner of Church Street and Western Avenue, giving visible evidence that men and women, boys and girls have taken seriously the injunction of being "co-laborers with God." However, First Baptist is older than the buildings we see or the people we have known who worshipped therein.
