The pope said those with the least in society “must not be abandoned to the laws of an economy that seems at times to treat people as mere con- sumers.” They also agreed on the need for Christians to act as peacemakers around the world, which they ac- knowledged could only be done if Christians “live and work together in harmony,” the pope said. “I pray that the nearness of our two inaugurations may serve the rec- onciliation of the world and the Church,” Archbishop Welby said.

  • Patrick Henry
    LIBERTY UNIVERSITY PATRICK HENRY: THE SIGNIFICANCE OF HARMONIZED RELIGIOUS TENSIONS A THESIS SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF THE HISTORY DEPARTMENT IN CANDIDACY FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS IN HISTORY BY KATIE MARGUERITE KITCHENS LYNCHBURG, VIRGINIA APRIL 1, 2010 Patrick Henry: The Significance of Harmonized Religious Tensions By Katie Marguerite Kitchens, MA Liberty University, 2010 SUPERVISOR: Samuel Smith This study explores the complex religious influences shaping Patrick Henry’s belief system. It is common knowledge that he was an Anglican, yet friendly and cooperative with Virginia Presbyterians. However, historians have yet to go beyond those general categories to the specific strains of Presbyterianism and Anglicanism which Henry uniquely harmonized into a unified belief system. Henry displayed a moderate, Latitudinarian, type of Anglicanism. Unlike many other Founders, his experiences with a specific strain of Presbyterianism confirmed and cooperated with these Anglican commitments. His Presbyterian influences could also be described as moderate, and latitudinarian in a more general sense. These religious strains worked to build a distinct religious outlook characterized by a respect for legitimate authority, whether civil, social, or religious. This study goes further to show the relevance of this distinct religious outlook for understanding Henry’s political stances. Henry’s sometimes seemingly erratic political principles cannot be understood in isolation from the wider context of his religious background. Uniquely harmonized

  • “Beyond the Character of the Times”: Anglican Revivalists in Eighteenth-Century Virginia
    “Beyond the Character of the Times”: Anglican Revivalists in Eighteenth-Century Virginia By Frances Watson A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in History Liberty University 2021 Table of Contents Introduction 2 Chapter One: Beyond Evangelical – Anglican Revivalists 14 Chapter Two: Beyond Tolerant – Spreading Evangelicalism 34 Chapter Three: Beyond Patriotic – Proponents of Liberty 55 Conclusion 69 Bibliography 77 ~ 1 ~ Introduction While preaching Devereux Jarratt’s funeral service, Francis Asbury described him thus: “He was a faithful and successful preacher. He had witnessed four or five periodical revivals of religion in his parish. When he began his labours, there was no other, that he knew of, evangelical minister in all the province!”1 However, at the time of his death, Jarratt would be one of a growing number of Evangelical Anglican ministers in the province of Virginia. Although Anglicanism remained the established church for the first twenty three years of Jarratt’s ministry, the Great Awakening forcefully brought the message of Evangelicalism to the colonies. As the American Revolution neared, new ideas about political and religious freedom arose, and Evangelical dissenters continued to grow in numbers. Into this scene stepped Jarratt, his friend Archibald McRobert, and his student Charles Clay. These three men would distinguish themselves from other Anglican clergymen by emulating the characteristics of the Great Awakening in their ministries, showing tolerance in their relationships with other religious groups, and providing support for American freedoms. Devereux Jarratt, Archibald McRobert, and Charles Clay all lived and mainly ministered to communities in the Piedmont area.

  • Early Puritanism in the Southern and Island Colonies
    Early Puritanism in the Southern and Island Colonies BY BABETTE M. LEVY Preface NE of the pleasant by-products of doing research O work is the realization of how generously help has been given when it was needed. The author owes much to many people who proved their interest in this attempt to see America's past a little more clearly. The Institute of Early American History and Culture gave two grants that enabled me to devote a sabbatical leave and a summer to direct searching of colony and church records. Librarians and archivists have been cooperative beyond the call of regular duty. Not a few scholars have read the study in whole or part to give me the benefit of their knowledge and judgment. I must mention among them Professor Josephine W, Bennett of the Hunter College English Department; Miss Madge McLain, formerly of the Hunter College Classics Department; the late Dr. William W. Rockwell, Librarian Emeritus of Union Theological Seminary, whose vast scholarship and his willingness to share it will remain with all who knew him as long as they have memories; Professor Matthew Spinka of the Hartford Theological Sem- inary; and my mother, who did not allow illness to keep her from listening attentively and critically as I read to her chapter after chapter.

Copley, 1783 John Burgwin, Carolinian John Jones, Virginian Their Ancestors and Descendants BY Walter Burgwyn Jones of Montgomery, Alabama 1913 Privately Printed Preface The accompanying brief sketch of my ancestors and kindred is an effort to preserve, for present and future family use, in convenient form, such facts and data as could be ascertained with the limited time and means at the writer's disposal. None realizes more keenly than he the many imperfections of the book. As the sketch is not intended for the public no explanation need be addressed to them. To those interested he might give many reasons in favor of the preservation of family histories and genealogies, but it will suffice to mention only a few of them. Veneration of honorable ancestry is a just instinct and won- derfully ennobling in its influences. An affectionate regard for the memory of those who have gone before is most natural and cannot justly yield anything to the animadversion of the cynic. It is also true that there are many today, descendants of honorable and interesting families, who find the virtues and character of utter strangers far more interesting than those of their own kindred. They seemingly little realize that a study of their forbears' useful and honorable careers would inspire them with far more self-respect and create in them a stronger desire to emulate the virtues of their worthy progenitors than would the study of lives of others with different blood.
