  • Hymnody + Resistance
    Council of Lutheran Churches: Reformation 500 Hymnody and Christian War-Resistance: Voices for Peace 1914–1918 Rev’d Dr Clive Barrett Clive Barrett was County Ecumenical Officer for West Yorkshire Ecumenical Council. Author of Subversive Peacemakers: War-Resistance 1914-1918 (Lutterworth, Cambridge, 2014), he is Chair of the Trustees of the Peace Museum, Bradford, and a visiting fellow in Theology and Religious Studies at the University of Leeds. Overview This paper will consider how several strands of Protestant tradition appear from the perspective of those who resisted war in Europe in 1914–18, some of whom had assembled for a 1914 pan-Protestant peace conference on Lake Constance, 499 years after the death of Jan Hus. > Within Unitas Fratrum, there were those holding a clear commitment to nonviolence. The anti-militarist writing of Jon Wyclif (c 1330–84), the stand of Jan Hus (c 1371–1415), and the rebuilding of the movement under Petr Chelčický (c 1390–1460), all contributed to a heritage of nonviolence for the emerging Moravian Church. War-resistance and nonviolence are part of the pre-history of the Reformation. > Within the British Methodist and Nonconformist traditions, music and hymn- singing provided a means for expressing and bolstering faith and commitment, and for standing firm to one’s conscience (cf Luther), including a commitment to war-resistance in the name of Christ > Within Lutheranism, this paper examines two individuals whose broad commitment to peace transcended narrow nationalisms. Wyclif, Hus and Chelčický Richmond is a small town on the River Swale in North Yorkshire, dominated by an eleventh-century Norman castle.

  • White Poppies Churches
    Remembrance Sunday: Services for Peace a resource from Fellowship of Reconciliation and Peace Pledge Union ppu.org.uk for.org.uk THE PEACE PLEDGE UNION has campaigned against war since the 1930s. Founded in the shadow of World War One with the threat of World War Two already looming, its basis has always been that each person has a choice, whether to accept war and war preparations as a fact of ‘normal’ life, or to renounce war and work actively for peace. The Peace Pledge Union is the oldest secular pacifist organisation in the Britain. Today, we challenge systems, practices and polices that fuel war and militarism, and that contribute to the view that armed force is an effective agent of social change. Such systems and beliefs impede the emergence of nonviolent approaches to conflict. A more realistic approach to security would include promoting human rights by example, not by force; developing coherent programmes of education for peace; and reallocating military budgets to long- term peacebuilding, nonviolent diplomacy and tackling the root causes of war. THE FELLOWSHIP OF RECONCILIATION was founded in 1914 following a meeting between Henry Hodgkin, a British Quaker, and Friedrich Sigmund Schültze, a German Lutheran pastor. On parting at Cologne station, they said to each other “We are one in Christ and can never be at war”. A Basis for the Fellowship was agreed on in December that year, which is as follows: • That love as revealed and interpreted in the life and death of Jesus Christ, involves more than we have yet seen, that is the only power by which evil can be overcome and the only sufficient basis of human society.

  • “A Sturdy Core of Thinking, Fact Seeking Citizens”: the Open Forum Movement and Public Learning in Terre Haute and Hammond, Indiana, in the 1920S
    “A Sturdy Core of Thinking, Fact Seeking Citizens”: The Open Forum Movement and Public Learning in Terre Haute and Hammond, Indiana, in the 1920s Arthur S. Meyers” In Sinclair Lewis’s fictional Zenith, Ohio, in 1920, George Babbitt complained to his wife that their daughter and her beau were “trudging off to lectures by authors and Hindu philosophers and Swedish lieutenants.” Lewis was describing an actual phenomenon taking place in several hundred industrial cities, including at least four in Indiana. The Open Forum lecture movement was remarkable: a locally planned, non-partisan, non-sectarian initiative in public learning, reaching thousands of people around the country. Expanding beyond the Chautauqua lecture movement in topics and locale, it brought a wide range of people together to discuss the vital concerns and intellectual advances of the day and to consider the core beliefs and values in their lives.’ Although the Open Forum has faded from history, it was a model of social commitment, public learning, and freedom of speech that took root not only in metropolitan areas but also in small cities in the Midwest. The story of the movement in Terre Haute and Hammond in the 1920s provides fresh insight into Indiana’s history, revealing a previously unknown interest in the ideas of liberal reformers and support for public learning, and documenting the social activism of a minister and rabbi. It also suggests that other smaller urban communities of the Midwest were less provincial and more politically varied than most accounts of the era suggest. The Open Forum is best understood in both religious and political terms.

  • Message for the Age of Human Rights —What Does the Third Millennium Require? (1)
    Special Series: Message for the Age of Human Rights —What Does the Third Millennium Require? (1) Daisaku Ikeda Adolfo Pérez Esquivel Here we present another in the Dialogue Among Civilizations series, this time a dialogue between Soka Gakkai International (SGI) President Daisaku Ikeda and the Argentinean human rights activist and Nobel Peace laureate Adolfo Pérez Esquivel, who met in Tokyo in December 1995. Contemplating the global outlook for the Third Millennium, in the process covering a broad range of topics including the universal nature of human rights over and above the sovereignty of national assemblies; building solidarity among ordinary people; and the great strength and potential of the world's women, they vowed to publish a collection of their dialogues. In the years following that initial meeting they have maintained a lively correspondence, and in this issue we hear about a man of indomitable spirit who has spent many years as a champion of human rights battling authoritarian evil, and the encounters that have helped shape his life. This will be the fifth article in the Dialogue Among Civilizations series by President Ikeda, following The Beauty of a Lion’s Heart (with Dr. Axinia D. Djourova of Bulgaria), Dialogues on Eastern Wisdom (with Dr. Ji Xianlin and Professor Jiang Zhongxin of China), The Spirit of India—Buddhism and Hinduism (with Dr. Ved P. Nanda, Honorary President of the World Jurist Association), and The Humanist Princi- ple—Compassion and Tolerance (with Dr. Felix Unger, President of the European Academy of Sciences and Arts). The Dawn of a New Humanism Ikeda: I greatly respect people who stand up for the dignity of humanity and strive to reform our epoch.

God and Mrs Thatcher: Religion and Politics in 1980s Britain Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy September 2010 Liza Filby University of Warwick University ID Number: 0558769 1 I hereby declare that the work presented in this thesis is entirely my own. ……………………………………………… Date………… 2 Abstract The core theme of this thesis explores the evolving position of religion in the British public realm in the 1980s. Recent scholarship on modern religious history has sought to relocate Britain‟s „secularization moment‟ from the industrialization of the nineteenth century to the social and cultural upheavals of the 1960s. My thesis seeks to add to this debate by examining the way in which the established Church and Christian doctrine continued to play a central role in the politics of the 1980s. More specifically it analyses the conflict between the Conservative party and the once labelled „Tory party at Prayer‟, the Church of England. Both Church and state during this period were at loggerheads, projecting contrasting visions of the Christian underpinnings of the nation‟s political values. The first part of this thesis addresses the established Church.

  • American Liberal Pacifists and the Memory of Abolitionism, 1914-1933 Joseph Kip Kosek
    American Liberal Pacifists and the Memory of Abolitionism, 1914-1933 Joseph Kip Kosek Americans’ memory of their Civil War has always been more than idle reminiscence. David Blight’s Race and Reunion: The Civil War in American Memory is the best new work to examine the way that the nation actively reimagined the past in order to explain and justify the present. Interdisciplinary in its methods, ecumenical in its sources, and nuanced in its interpretations, Race and Reunion explains how the recollection of the Civil War became a case of race versus reunion in the half-century after Gettysburg. On one hand, Frederick Douglass and his allies promoted an “emancipationist” vision that drew attention to the role of slavery in the conflict and that highlighted the continuing problem of racial inequality. Opposed to this stance was the “reconciliationist” ideal, which located the meaning of the war in notions of abstract heroism and devotion by North and South alike, divorced from any particular allegiance. On this ground the former combatants could meet undisturbed by the problems of politics and ideological difference. This latter view became the dominant memory, and, involving as it did a kind of forgetting, laid the groundwork for decades of racial violence and segregation, Blight argues. Thus did memory frame the possibilities of politics and moral action. The first photograph in Race and Reunion illustrates this victory of reunion, showing Woodrow Wilson at Gettysburg in 1913. Wilson, surrounded by white veterans from North and South, with Union and Confederate flags flying, is making a speech in which he praises the heroism of the combatants in the Civil War while declaring their “quarrel forgotten.” The last photograph in Blight’s book, though, invokes a different story about Civil War memory.

  • John Haynes Holmes
    UU Saints: John Haynes Holmes Delivered to the First Unitarian Church of Wilmington Delaware February 15, 2014 By Rev. Dr. Joshua Snyder There are few people who were as loved and hated in their life time as was Rev. John Haynes Holmes. Of course the main reason for that was that once John Haynes Holmes believed something, he never let it go. He was never one for half measures. It defined his life, his ministry and his legacy within Unitarian Universalism. John Haynes Holmes was born on November 29, 1879 in Philadelphia. He attended Harvard University and then Harvard Divinity School. He began his first ministry in Dorchester Massachusetts in 1904. However he was there only three years before moving on to the church where he would be most associated with: the Church of the Messiah in Manhattan. Later at his insistence the church would be renamed the Community Church of New York which is how it is known today. He came initially as the junior minister in 1907 and then became the senior minister in 1918. John Haynes Holmes served as senior minister of the Community Church of New York for 31 years before 1 being named minister emeritus in 1949. In total, Holmes served the same congregation in the middle of New York City for 42 years. Holmes was definitely a man of his time and of his city. He regularly contributed to the New Yorker, the Nation, and other national magazines with numerous articles and essays. He was the editor of Unity, a Unitarian magazine and had a regular column in the journal Unitarian Advance.
