Pentecostal Spirituality As Lived Experience Pentecostal Spirituality as Lived Experience: An Empirical Study of Women in the British Black Pentecostal Church By Marcia Clarke A thesis submitted to The University of Birmingham for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY School of Philosophy, Theology and Religion College of Arts and Law University of Birmingham September 1, 2015 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties.

Abstract This study’s central thesis is based upon a qualitative research project which captured and analysed the focus group conversations of fifty-two Black British Pentecostal women of African - Caribbean heritage as they discuss their lived experience in terms of Christian spirituality. Practical Theology as a theologically normative discipline provides the lens through which to study spirituality as experience. This thesis states that the lived experience of Black British Pentecostal women develops and informs Pentecostal spirituality as lived experience as part of a conscious and integrated lifestyle and further facilitates growth in a woman’s relationship with God. The translation of the Hebrew term yāda῾ meaning ‘to know’ is relevant to this understanding, as it is interpreted as to know by experience. Pentecostal spirituality as lived experience is deduced as an aspect of African- Caribbean Christian Consciousness and the 'language of resistance'. Both constructs enabled the participants in a British context to redefine their social experience on their own terms. Further, Black British Pentecostal women’s experience fills a gap in womanist and feminist literature on the subject of women’s spirituality. This thesis makes an original contribution to knowledge by its exploration of the spirituality of Black Caribbean Pentecostal women in Britain through empirical theological research methods. Its focus on Pentecostal spirituality as lived experience moves the discussion beyond the analysis of crisis events and the study of Pentecostal congregational worship. Acknowledgements Words are not enough to express my gratitude to my supervisor, Dr Mark Cartledge, who has been an invaluable support from the beginning and throughout this process, thank you! To my husband, Dr Clifton Clarke, for being a sounding board, and children, Joel and Jessica: thank you for being excited, supportive and understanding; now I am looking forward to spending more time with you all. Thank you to my mum, Mavis Chambers, and the women (and men) of the New Testament Church of God in England, who are the main inspiration for this study. These women modelled and taught me to love God, for which I will be forever grateful.

The three churches, New Testament Church of God (NTCG), New Harvest Church, and Community Revival Fellowship, are located in and were founded by people of Caribbean descent the UK. NTCG and New Harvest Church belong to a denomination whilst Community Revival Fellowship is independent.1 This introductory chapter presents the motivating factors behind this qualitative study, which is principally my observation and knowledge of the resilience and spiritual fortitude of the African-Caribbean women whom I grew up around, attributes that they credited to their relationship with God. I have sought to explore academically the basis of this tenacity, that ‘something’ which I term Pentecostal spirituality as lived experience. Following this introduction, the chapter continues with a section in which the definitions of key terms are discussed, specifically Black Majority Church, spirituality and spirituality as a lived experience.

Born in New York City in 1940, David grew up in a Jewish family in Brooklyn. David recounts how an interest in Native American cultures originally brought him to the drums and tells the story of how he acquired his first drum kit at the age of 15. David explains that as an adolescent he aspired to be an artist and consequently attended Cooper Union after graduating from high school. David recounts his decision to leave New York in 1960 and drive out to California, where he immediately enrolled at the San Francisco Art Institute and soon after started playing music with fellow artists. David explains how he became the drummer for Big Brother and the Holding Company in 1966 and reminisces about the legendary Monterey Pop Festival they performed at the following year. He shares numerous stories about Janis Joplin and speaks movingly about his grief upon hearing the news of her death. David discusses the various bands he played in after the dissolution of Big Brother and the Holding Company, as well as the many places he performed over the years in Marin County. He concludes his oral history with a discussion of his family: his daughters Alarza and Liz, both of whom are singer- songwriters, and his wife Joan Payne, an actress and singer.

    DOWN AND OUT IN MUSIC CITY: THE URBAN STRUCTURATION OF HOMELESSNESS By Damian T. Williams Dissertation Submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Vanderbilt University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY in Sociology December, 2010 Nashville, Tennessee Approved: Professor Richard Lloyd Professor Brooke Ackerly Professor Daniel Cornfield Professor Larry Isaac Copyright © 2010 Damian Terry Williams To the love of my life, Helene Di Iorio, the sweetest person I have ever known and To Nashville’s unhoused men, there but good fortune go I iii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Many people have helped me complete this project. Among these are the members of my dissertation committee, who gave me the support, guidance and academic freedom necessary to develop an idiosyncratic and inchoate idea into an intelligible piece of sociological craftsmanship. Richard Lloyd, my dissertation chair, encouraged me to connect my local ethnographic observations to both historical and extra-local processes – his distinctive sociological imagination has profoundly shaped my work since we first crossed paths seven years ago in his seminars on “Contemporary Social Theory” and “Cities in a World Economy.” Intellectual craftsman par excellence, Professor Lloyd was a consistent source of sage conceptual and editorial advice. Ever a font of intellectual support, he continues to inspire me as I begin my career in the Windy City he so ably theorized in his first major piece of scholarship. Dan Cornfield provided consistently insightful and sharp critiques of what were at times ethereal chapter arguments. Moreover, his consistent votes of confidence were invaluable psychological buoys. Larry Isaac was a source of sagacious and candid advice since my second year of graduate studies.

  • Production Notes
    Production Notes Release Date: April 15 th 2010 Running Time: TBA Rating: TBA A dusty diner in the Mojave Desert becomes ground zero for earth’s final showdown in Legion , a startlingly original and terrifying vision of the Apocalypse from director and writer Scott Stewart ( Priest ). As mankind destroys itself in a savage fury, a small group of people trapped on the edge of nowhere prepare to make a last stand— with the help of a mysterious and powerful stranger. Unaware of the chaos unfolding around the globe, Bob Hanson (Dennis Quaid), the owner of a remote roadside café, and his partner Percy (Charles S. Dutton) go about business as usual. The restaurant’s beautiful and very pregnant waitress, Charlie (Adrianne Palicki), serves breakfast to Sandra and Howard, a well-heeled suburban couple (Kate Walsh and Jon Tenney) and their teenage daughter Audrey (Willa Holland), as they wait for their car to be repaired by Bob’s son, Jeep (Lucas Black). When the television goes on the fritz and the phones go out, the group realizes they have lost all communication with the outside world. As they attempt to make sense of what’s happening—An earthquake? A terrorist attack?— an elderly woman (Jeannette Miller) arrives and sweetly orders a steak from Charlie. When her meal arrives, she begins spewing shocking obscenities. In a heartbeat, the fragile old lady develops superhuman strength, launching a grisly attack that leaves Howard critically injured. A desperate attempt to get medical help ends when an impenetrable cloud of flying insects turns the diner into the only safe haven for miles.

Hyniea (Niea) Gardner A Thesis in the Field of Anthropology and Archaeology for the Degree of Master of Liberal Arts in Extension Studies Harvard University May 2019 © May 2019 Hyniea (Niea) Gardner Abstract In 2016 the Korea Creative Content Agency (KOCCA) reported that the Korean music industry saw an overseas revenue of ₩5.3 trillion ($4.7 billion) in concert tickets, streaming music, compact discs (CDs), and related services and merchandise such as fan meetings and purchases of music artist apparel and accessories (Kim 2017 and Erudite Risk Business Intelligence 2017). Korean popular music (K-Pop) is a billion-dollar industry. Known for its energetic beats, synchronized choreography, and a sound that can be an amalgamation of electronica, blues, hip-hop, rock, and R&B all mixed together to create something that fans argue is “uniquely K-Pop.” However, further examination reveals that producers and songwriters – both Korean and the American and European specialists contracted by agencies – tend to base the foundation of the K-Pop sound in hip-hop and R&B, which has strong ties to African-American musical traditions.
