Regularly called upon by Britain’s leading statesmen, and most significantly the Younger Pitt, to advise them on the best course of British economic development, in a large variety of writings he speculated on the consequences of North American independence for the global economy and for international relations; upon the complicated relations between small and large states; and on the related issue of whether low wage costs in poor countries might always erode the competitive advantage of richer nations, thereby establishing perpetual cycles of rise and decline.

  • Early Moravian Pietism
    EARLY MORAVIAN PIETISM BY MILTON C. WESTPHAL Lansdowne, Pennsylvania T HE visitor to the modern steel-town of Bethlehem, Penn- Tsylvania, is impressed with the noise and bustle of a com- munity which never would be suspected of having a distinctly spiritual origin. He might easily pass by the group of stone buildings on Church Street, which once housed the stalwart ad- herents of the Moravian Pilgrim Congregation, without noting that the historic edifices are essentially different from the many other closely built dwellings and business structures which en- croach upon them. Yet within the walls of these venerable piles were enacted scenes whose romance and passion have never yet been adequately appraised for their significance in the vari- colored history of American Protestantism. Even the townspeople of Bethlehem are almost entirely oblivi- ous of the fact that the name "Moravian Brethren" is one by which to conjure up a noteworthy succession of valiant religious characters, whose heroic deeds and pious strivings are still to be celebrated in an epic of the love of the Brethren for "The Christ of the Many Wounds." To be sure some of the remnants of the early fervor of the Moravian Church still remain to impress themselves upon the work-a-day minds of modern Bethlehemites, but American Moravianism has undergone a radical transforma- tion. The former holiness and the communal economy of that exclusive brotherhood have been surrendered. The fervent pietistic spirit, which prevailed when foot-washing and the "kiss of peace" were characteristic symbols, now lingers only as a pass- ing memory.

Rosell, Ph.D. Professor of Church History and Director Emeritus of the Ockenga Institute at Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary in South Hamilton, Massachusetts Greetings once again in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. Let me invite you to join me in prayer once again as we begin. Let us pray. Eternal God, we give You thanks for the privilege of studying together, and we ask that by Your Spirit You would guide us in our thought together today, through Jesus Christ our Lord we pray. Amen. Today I want us to think together about the issue of church renewal, the possibility of spiritual revitalization within our local congregations, in fact, within our own lives, as well as within our denominations and larger church movements. There are a number of good sources for this kind of study. Those of you who are reading along with us in Latourette, volume 2, will want to look especially at pages 884-898 and again, 1001-1059. An especially good source for the study of renewal in the life of the church is Richard Lovelace’s [book] Dynamics of Spiritual Life, by InterVarsity Christian Fellowship Press. Many of you will want also to read the work of Philipp Jakob Spener, about whom we’ll talk in just a few moments. His [work] Pious Desires is one of the classics of that period of time, translated by Theodore Tappert [and published by] Fortress Press [originally in] 1964.

  • NATIONAL COMMUNITY CHURCH October 25, 2020 Heaven on Earth Ephesians 4 Dr
    NATIONAL COMMUNITY CHURCH October 25, 2020 Heaven on Earth_ Ephesians 4 Dr. Mark Batterson From 1934 until 1961, a British historian named Arnold Toynbee published a 12 volume history on the history of civilization tracing the rise and fall of 19 civilizations. There's a question long debated by historians. Do all civilizations follow a predictable pattern a life cycle from birth to growth to decline to death? Or is it possible after a civilization experiences decline to experience a rebirth? Toynbee believed that civilizations could experience a rebirth but the key was something that he called a creative minority. According to Toynbee, the collapse of civilization does not happen because of outside attack or external threat. The disintegration of civilization is caused by the deterioration of this creative minority which begs the question, what is a creative minority. Toynbee actually cites the church as an example, but it's any minority that creatively responds to crisis and whose response makes revival, makes reformation, makes Renaissance possible. Now, let me push that envelope. The biblical word for creative minority is remnant. It's the 7,000 during the days of Elijah, who would not bow to Baal. They stayed faithful to Yahweh and they called the nation to renewal. The remnant is a creative minority, often a moral minority, who don't cave to cultural icons, who courageously and compassionately live out their convictions who exercise prophetic imagination in the face of impossible problems. I recently read a book by Roger Stronstad titled 'The Prophethood of All Believers'. Now he argues that the church has become a didactic community rather than a prophetic community.

  • The Pennsylvania Dutch in the 21St Century
    Plain, Fancy and Fancy-Plain: The Pennsylvania Dutch in the 21st Century Rian Linda Larkin Faculty Advisor: Alex Harris Center for Documentary Studies December 2017 This project was submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in the Graduate Liberal Studies Program in the Graduate School of Duke University. Copyright by Rian Linda Larkin 2017 Abstract In 1681, William Penn traveled to Europe’s Rhineland-Palatinate and invited Anabaptist and Protestant groups to live and worship freely in Pennsylvania. Over the next century, 111,000 German- speaking men and women sailed to America, many settling in southeastern Pennsylvania.1 During this period, English-speaking residents began to use the term, “Pennsylvania Dutch” to describe the new settlers who spoke Deitsch or Deutsch (German). Today, the term Pennsylvania Dutch conjures visions of bonnets, beards, suspenders and horse- drawn buggies. However, this imagery only applies to the Old Order Anabaptist sects, which constitute less than half of Pennsylvania’s total PA Dutch population.2 3 Therefore, this project will examine and document four Pennsylvania Dutch communities in order to present a more accurate cultural portrait and contextualize the Pennsylvania Dutch populace in the 21st century, from anachronistic traditionalists to groups that have fully integrated into modern society. The project documents the following religious communities: the Old Order Amish, Horning Mennonites, Moravians and Lutherans of southeastern Pennsylvania. Each section includes a historical overview, an interview with a community member and photographs taken on-location. I conclude that church-imposed restrictions and geographical location shaped each group’s distinctive character and impacted how the groups evolved in the modern world.

One of the more popular versions is that of ‘antinomianism,’ which has reappeared throughout the centuries since the Reformation with an increased and intriguing frequency. It has crept up again and Colby Dickinson again as a major, defining political force of reform and has sparked some of the fiercest theological debates the western world has ever known. My thesis in this essay is that we often misunderstand what the ‘antinomian impulse’ is really about, how it actually plays an essential role in giving shape to the Christian faith.

Signature:………………………………… iii Abstract My thesis re-situates the work of modernist writer, Hilda Doolittle (H.D., 1886–1961) at the intersection of modernism, psychoanalysis, spirituality and passivity. Although H.D. is often claimed to be a feminist writer, there are very few active expressions of feminist anger in her work. Instead, we might turn to psychoanalytic discussions to consider where the anger resides in H.D. Melanie Klein argues that aggression is an innate instinct and art is a means of sublimating that instinct. For H.D, a bisexual mother who experiences war trauma, betrayal, death, stillbirth and breakdown, aggression and anger become a form of artistic energy that allows her to create herself anew.

Image courtesy Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission, Ephrata Cloister. illustrations found in the papers of Jacob Martin, a member of the eighteenth-century Ephrata Community, have turned up some interesting results that may shed more light on the beliefs and world views of the Ephrata Community and one of its more interesting members. 83 Introduction: The Ephrata Community The Ephrata Cloister, now a historic site and museum administered by the Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission, began as a religious communal society (one of America’s earliest), founded by Georg Conrad Beissel on the banks of Cocalico Creek in 1732. Born in Eberbach, Germany, in 1691, Beissel immigrated to Pennsylvania in 1720. Before 1724 he moved into an area drained by the Conestoga River, seeking to live in a small fellowship of hermits. Eventually he became involved with the Brethren, or Dunkers, a group founded in 1708 in Schwarzenau, Germany. In 1724, Beissel was baptized into this new group and became one of their ministers. Beissel emphasized unusual practices, such as worship on the Sabbath and the superiority of celibacy.
