SCIENTIFIC REVIEW Professor Yurii Chornomorets, Doctor of Philosophy, Department of Theology and Religious Studies at National Pedagogical Dragomanov University provided a Scientific Review for the special issue of "Ukrainian Protestants" dedicated to current issues of history and modern practices of several Protestant communities in Ukraine The current level of Ukrainian philosophical, historical, and religious sciences is characterized by openness to the study of various religious movements, especially in the last two decades. The deepened interest and expansion of scientific research is currently being actively pursued in the direction of the study of Protestant religious movements in Ukraine. By referring to official scientific, archival documents-sources, interviews, and practical research of the life of Protestant believers, scholars try to recreate the history of the origin, formation, and modern activity of Protestant denominations in Ukraine. Interest in the study of Protestantism in Ukraine is only gaining momentum, and it will take more than a decade for scholars to recreate the historical periods from the emergence of Ukrainian Protestantism to the present day.

ISBN 0-7734-7518-4. £49.95. This new work provides a useful addition to our understanding of Quakerism in its formative period in England and Wales, and the key role women played in the development of Quaker communities. Supplementing the themes from her previous work, Women and Quakerism in the Seventeenth Century (York: Sessions, 1990), Christine Trevett offers a historiographical appreciation and eight chapters on the lives and responsibilities of Quaker women in the seventeenth century. The composition of the book suggests that this study will form the basis of research for future generations of scholars, and they will use the 'finely-balancedcollection of essays' as a means of exploringboth early modern Quakerism and gender-related issues.

  • Samuel Hopkins
    Samuel Hopkins 10May2006 Mame Warren, Interviewer Warren: Sam Hopkins, you have known Johns Hopkins all your life. Tell me why you're so interested in Johns Hopkins. Hopkins: Well, the first thing is that all of our family loved Johns Hopkins. He was just very good to his relatives. Johns Hopkins was good to his parents. His mother lived with him most of her life and one of his sisters who was a widow lived with him and kept house for him. But I was descended :from Samuel Hopkins, was one of his nephews and when he died he left all of his nephews and nieces about $100,000 each, so everybody in the family loved him and admired him, and he was good to them, and they, I think they all very much appreciated it. So he was sort of a role model for all of us, and we were sort of brought up to try to be somewhat like Johns Hopkins and try to do what he did to be helpful to the community. Warren: As you were growing up, were there-did you know anyone who have actually known Johns Hopkins? Hopkins: Well, I'm sure I did but I wasn't too conscious of it. I'm sure my grandmother who I knew-Grandmother Hopkins knew him, but she died when I was three or four years old. But there were others who knew him, but they all-the family liked him, but there were a lot of people in the community didn't like Johns Hopkins.
