  • Pentecostalism As Religion of Periphery: an Analysis of Brazilian Case
    Pentecostalism as religion of periphery: an analysis of Brazilian case Dissertation zur Erlangung des akademischen Grades Doctor philosophae (Dr. phil.) eingerichtet an der Philosophischen Fakultät III der Humboldt Universität zu Berlin Von Master of Science Brand Arenari Präsident der Humboldt Universität zu Berlin Prof. Dr. Jan-Hendrick Olbertz Dekanin der Philosophen Fakultät III Prof. Dr. Julia von Blumenthal Gutachter: 1: Klaus Eder 2: Jessé Freire Souza Tag der mündlichen Prüfung: 12.12.2013 1 Abstract All the analyses we have developed throughout this dissertation point to a central element in the emergence and development of Pentecostalism, i.e., its raw material – the promise of religious salvation – is based on the idea of social ascension, particularly the ascension related to the integration of sub-integrated social groups to the dynamics of society. The new religion that arose in the USA focused on the needs and social dramas that were specific of the newly arrived to the urban world of the large North-American cities, those who inhabited the periphery of these cities, those that were socially, economically, and ethnically excluded from the core of society. We also analysed how the same social drama was the basis for the development of Pentecostalism in Latin America and, especially, in Brazil. In this country, a great mass of excluded individuals, also residents of urban peripheries (which proves the non-traditional and modern characteristic of these sectors), found in Pentecostalism the promises of answers to their dramas, mainly the anxiety to become integrated to a world in which they did not belong before. Such integration was embedded in the promise present in the modernity of social ascension.

  • The First Roman Catholics in Alcoholics Anonymous
    CHESNUT — FATHER ED DOWLING — PAGE 1 September 3, 2011 The First Roman Catholics in Alcoholics Anonymous Glenn F. Chesnut Alcoholics Anonymous was founded in 1935 by two men, Bill Wilson and Dr. Bob Smith, who had been brought up as Protestants, and specifically, as New England Congregationalists. In spite of the fact that Congregationalism’s roots had lain in seventeenth and eighteenth-century Puritanism (the world of Jonathan Edwards’ “Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God” and Nathaniel Hawthorne’s The Scarlet Letter) this was a denomination which had developed and changed to the point where they very strongly took the liberal side—not the fundamentalist side—in the great fundamentalist-liberal debate which arose within early twentieth-century American Protestantism. In 1957 (two years after AA’s “coming of age” at its St. Louis convention) the Congregationalists united with another modernist mainline American denomination to form the extremely liberal United Church of Christ. At the time they first met, in 1935, Bill W. and Dr. Bob had both recently become involved with a controversial Protestant evangelical association called the Oxford Group, and initially worked with alcoholics under its umbrella. Nevertheless, both of them (as well as the majority of the alcoholics whom they sobered up during the first few years) came from liberal Protestant backgrounds, so a kind of generalized liberal Protestant influence rapidly became just as important as that of the Oxford Group. And contact with the New Thought movement (especially Emmet Fox) introduced an even more radical form of liberal Protestantism which was also a force in early AA.

Chesnut CHESNUT — FATHER ED DOWLING — PAGE 3 QUOTES “The two greatest obstacles to democracy in the United States are, first, the widespread delusion among the poor that we have a de- mocracy, and second, the chronic terror among the rich, lest we get it.” Edward Dowling, Chicago Daily News, July 28, 1941. Father Ed rejoiced that in “moving therapy from the expensive clinical couch to the low-cost coffee bar, from the inexperienced professional to the informed amateur, AA has democratized sani- ty.”1 “At one Cana Conference he commented, ‘No man thinks he’s ug- ly. If he’s fat, he thinks he looks like Taft. If he’s lanky, he thinks he looks like Lincoln.’”2 Edward Dowling, S.J., of the Queen’s Work staff, says, “Alcohol- ics Anonymous is natural; it is natural at the point where nature comes closest to the supernatural, namely in humiliations and in consequent humility. There is something spiritual about an art mu- seum or a symphony, and the Catholic Church approves of our use of them. There is something spiritual about A.A. too, and Catholic participation in it almost invariably results in poor Catholics be- coming better Catholics.” Added as an appendix to the Big Book in 1955.3 CHESNUT — FATHER ED DOWLING — PAGE 4 “‘God resists the proud, assists the humble. The shortest cut to humility is humiliations, which AA has in abundance.

The Wandering of the Great Light By Harvey Hardman 'HE esoteric doctrines of modern Free Ma­ sonry are based upon certain rites and symbols that had their origin in a very remote antiquity. In ancient times, the meaning of these symbols and dramatic representations was closely guarded by a very powerful secret society that was primarily religious in its organ­ ized activities. Entrance into its sanctum sanctorum or holy of holies, could only be gained by a long process of initiatory work on the part of the neophyte, for the Masters or Priests of the Inner Shrine all possessed a secret Word, an Omnific Name, that gave them command of a power that transcended the powers of those not initiated into the secret wisdom.

SZASZ THE PHOTOGRAPHIC DIVISION OF THE LIBRARY OF CONGRESS contains several stereo-cards of a remarkable scene. It was the Fall of 1895 and over a thousand people were lined up in Denver to be touched by a German immigrant who bore a startling resem­ blance to the pictures of Jesus. They would walk up a wooden plat­ form, grasp the hands of the man-he would then offer a short prayer-and they would walk away. Ma~y testified to miraculous cures. Moreover, the man took no payment for any of this. "I have no use for money," he said. Whenever people thanked him, he replied, "Don'tthank me; thank the Heavenly Father. Put your faith in him, not in me. I have no power but what he gives me through my faith. He will give you the same."

    Author: Tom Beaver Category: Beaver Memos Date: 2017 The Life and Legacy of John E. Fetzer A Series of Memos Researched and Compiled By Tom Beaver John E. Fetzer Memorial Trustee © 2018 The John E. Fetzer Memorial Trust, Inc. 2 Preface Brian C. Wilson Professor of American Religious History Department of Comparative Religion Western Michigan University I am pleased to have been asked to write a brief introduction to Tom Beaver’s collected memos on the spiritual legacy of John E. Fetzer. During my own research into the life, times, and spiritual development of John Fetzer, I have found Tom’s memos to contain a wealth of information and insights, all of which have considerably deepened my appreciation for this complex and fascinating figure. John Fetzer and the Institute he founded were the products of many influences, several of which were esoteric in origin; but given Fetzer’s private nature, few suspected the breadth of his spiritual explorations or were in a position to recognize the various strands from which Fetzer wove his metaphysical worldview. One who did, however, was Tom Beaver, who from personal study and experience, not to mention his close friendship with the man, understood very well where Fetzer was coming from, and where he wished to go in his spiritual journey. Tom was born in 1951 in Grand Haven, Michigan. Being raised a Christian Scientist among staunchly evangelical Dutch Reformed neighbors made Tom something of an outsider in his small west Michigan community. This, along with some notable psychic experiences as a child, led to an interest in metaphysical matters, which in turn inspired him to take initiation in the Ancient and Mystical Order Rosae Crucis (AMORC), said to be the oldest such Rosicrucian order in the United States.
