DE ZIEL THE HAGUE - MARTINUS NIJHOFF 1973 Published trom a manuscript by the Matuari Bush Negro Johannes King, edited by H. F. de Ziel under the super­ vision ot J. Voorhoeve. The translation ot the Introduction and Summary trom Dutch into English was made by Miss M. J. L. van Yperen. Grants trom the Suriname Government and Sticusa made the edition and translation possible. J.S.B.N.90.247.1527X PREFACE The Matuari Bush Negro Johannes King (ca. 1830-1898) taught himself to read and write at an advanced age. Throughout his life he was fascinated by the possibilities of bridging with the written word the gap with later generations. He particularly wanted to see two of his works published: his 'Book of Horrors' (containing accounts of his dreams and visions, among other subjects), and the present book, which we have given the title 'Life at Maripaston'. King wanted to explain to later generations what was at the root of the problems between him and his elder brother, chief Noah Adrai, representatives respectively of the church and the state at the village level. King wanted to justify his life in the eyes of the church and of his own tribesmen. The book constitutes, therefore, an important contribution to the church history of Surinam, but at the same time offers interesting insights into the life of the Bush Negro communities in Surinam.

  • Circle of Remembrance: Memorial to the Enslaved of African Ancestry” April 16, 2021
    Village of Irvington RFQ Design Professional for a Memorial Space “Circle of Remembrance: Memorial to the Enslaved of African Ancestry” April 16, 2021 1. PROJECT OVERVIEW The Village of Irvington is soliciting Statements of Qualifications from design firms for work associated with the Village of Irvington project. The goals of the project are: To design a space for contemplation, reflection, remembrance and learning about the enslaved of African ancestry who lived and died here To design a space for public use on Village property To design a sitting area within the space for small groups (adults or children) to engage in an organized learning experience, or for individuals, couples or small groups to use for personal contemplation To include in the design supporting informational signage and/or engraved textual information for those who visit the location (texts may be both historic and poetic) To include near the space, wayfinding signage To consider including in the design, features of “circle” and ways to convey “reflection” Illustrative Example: The core element would be a circular stone bench, perhaps 15 feet in diameter, located in the widest area of the triangular park (the north end). This bench might have one or two openings in it to allow easy egress (so, two semi-circles). The circular space in the middle of the benches would hold engraved remembrance text. This central area might be raised as a table-like feature, or could be left at grade. (If raised, this area would be potentially useful flat surface for teachers and students.) Existing walls could be enhanced or raised where necessary, and informational signage and a map could be mounted on the wall if appropriate.

  • THE HUDSON RIVER VALLEY REVIEW a Journal of Regional Studies
    SPRING 2018 THE HUDSON RIVER VALLEY REVIEW A Journal of Regional Studies The Hudson River Valley Institute at Marist College is supported by a major grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities. This issue of The Hudson River Valley Review has been generously underwritten by the following: Peter Bienstock THE POUGHKEEpsIE GRAND HOTEL SHAWANGUNK VALLEY AND CONFERENCE CENTER …centrally located in the Historic Hudson Valley CONSERVANCY midway between NYC and Albany… Conservation • Preservation • Education www.pokgrand.com From the Editors Welcome to our bigger, and more expansive, issue of The Hudson River Valley Review. As well as the enlarged format, we’ve widened the publication’s scope to accommodate more than 300 years of history. And while the topics covered in this issue might be broadly familiar, each essay offers details that reveal refreshing new insight. While the origins and evolution of Pinkster may be debatable, its celebration in seventeenth-century New Netherland offered an opportunity for residents—including enslaved African Americans—to relax, enjoy and express themselves. In the years leading up to the American Revolution, a French emigrant farmer drafted chapters of a book describing his new home in Orange County. These now-classic recollections would not be published until after he had been accused of disloyalty and chased out of the country. His eventual return—and the story of his trials and travels—is the stuff of cinema. In the early nineteenth century, another globetrotting writer, Washington Irving, helped to mold the young nation with his fiction and biographies. But the story of Irving’s own life is best conveyed at Sunnyside, his Westchester home, now preserved as a museum.

  • Fact Sheet.Qxd
    Fact Sheet The Dutch Period • New Netherland was the territory granted to the Dutch West India Company in 1621 by the government of Holland. It stretched from Manhattan to Albany along both sides of the Hudson, then called the North River. New Amsterdam was the main settlement in the colony and was located at the tip of Manhattan Island. In 1655, New Netherland gained territory along the Delaware River. • The first slaves arrived in New Amsterdam around 1627. Some sources say that they came as a distinct group of 11 men, but recent scholarship suggests a less precise beginning. By comparison, the first “20 and odd” blacks arrived in Jamestown Colony in Virginia in 1619 and were then sold into slavery. • Many of the early slaves had Spanish or Portuguese names and may have been Christians. Later slaves came from areas of Africa where many people were Muslim. • By the late 1630s, there were 100 enslaved men and women in New Amsterdam, amounting to one-third of the population. Other northern colonies held slaves, too, but there were many more in New Amsterdam. • In the early years of New Amsterdam, the enslaved worked for the Dutch West India Company, not for individ- ual residents of the colony. • Without slave labor, New Amsterdam might not have survived. Slaves sawed down trees, turned the soil so it could be farmed, built roads, and constructed important buildings. Wall Street today runs along what was once the wall of the fort, built by slaves. • Africans in New Netherland and New Amsterdam wore Dutch clothing, learned the Dutch language, and adopt- ed the Dutch Pentecost holiday of Pinkster as their own.

  • Prayer and Preaching
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Stellenbosch University SUNScholar Repository PRAYER AND PREACHING A CRITICAL HOMILETICAL STUDY WITHIN THE KOREAN CONTEXT By CHAN HEO A Thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Master of Theology at the University of Stellenbosch Department of Practical Theology Supervised by: Professor Johan H. Cilliers March 2010 Declaration I, the undersigned, Chan Heo, hereby declare that the work contained in this thesis is my own original work. I have never previously submitted it in part or in its entirety to another university or tertiary institute for a degree. Signed: ………………………………… Date: ………………………………… Copyright Ⓒ 2010 Stellenbosch University All rights reserved ii ABSTRACT The aim of this thesis is to encourage the renewal of Korean preacher‘s piety and spirituality within the Reformed tradition. Although a large number of studies have been carried out on Christian prayer, little is known about the connection between prayer and preaching in Reformed theology. In the Korean context, most preachers have been trained in the Pentecostal tradition. Therefore, the Reformed churches Korea have requested that instructions on prayer from notable theologians in history be introduced to preachers to help restore spiritual balance to the biblical preaching of Korean Reformed ministers. Reformed preachers should not follow the secular mind and worldly academic style; therefore, the study is concerned with recovering the biblical spirituality of the preacher and the congregation in Korean Christianity. It is argued that the Korean church needs to strive to rediscover and recover the Reformed church‘s long tradition of communication and prayer.

    THE PENTECOSTAL CHURCH IN THE CONGO/30ème COMMUNAUTÉ: ENGAGING IN POVERTY ERADICATION By Frederick Kakwata Dissertation presented for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Faculty of Theology, at Stellenbosch University Promoter: Professor Karel Thomas August December 2014 Stellenbosch University http://scholar.sun.ac.za DECLARATION By submitting this dissertation electronically, I declare that the entirety of the work contained therein is my own, original work, that I am the sole author thereof (save to the extent explicitly otherwise stated), that reproduction and publication thereof by Stellenbosch University will not infringe any third party rights and that I have not previously in its entirety or in part submitted it for obtaining any qualification. Frederick Kakwata November, 2014 Copyright © 2014 Stellenbosch University All rights reserved ii Stellenbosch University http://scholar.sun.ac.za ABSTRACT Despite the excessive mineral wealth, the underground deposits of gold, diamonds, copper and cobalt and other valuable minerals in the Democratic Republic of the Congo which are coveted by many countries, the majority of the population is still destitute and lives in dire poverty. However the country itself prospered during the colonial period 1885-1960 and it became the second most industrialized state in Africa after South Africa (Petit & Mutambwa, 2005). Unfortunately it is now ranked among the world's poorest countries in the world. Since the Democratic Republic of the Congo gained independence in 1960 it has not experienced development that benefits the whole population. The country is experiencing continuing and pressing problems of poverty and human suffering. Thus the purpose during this study is to analyse the position of the Pentecostal Church in the Congo (30ème CPCO) concerning the situation of poverty in the city of Lubumbashi and to design a pragmatic approach that can assist the denomination to find ways to effectively address the problem of poverty.
