But there is no evidence to show how long they had The o f l possessed it . earliest record the fami y which we have been able to meet with is an inscription o n a tombstone in Pattishall church in yard , which simply states Latin that under neath lie the bodies o f John Steward gentleman and Jane his wife, and that their two deeply a fll ic te d children Nicholas and John had in Th o f scribed the names . e dates their deaths r 1 5 1 59 1 The ecorded are 77 and . same stone contains also an inscription dedicated to the memory o f Nicholas Steward gentleman and f Anne his wi e, whose deaths took place 1 628 1 1 5 Th respectively in and 6 . is is said to have been placed there by Richard Steward . o r LL D . , but whether he was the son nephew n does o t appear. From its immediately follow o f ing the other, and the expression grief being l ed less strong, we may be to infer that he was not their son . If so, they probably died child less , and were succeeded in the family estate by Richard Steward eldest or perhaps only son o f v o u n the ge r brother John . At least it is EARLY LIFE AND EDUCATION 3 tolerably clear that he was a grandson o f the - first mentioned John and Jane Steward . He u 1 594 was born at Pattishall abo t the year , o r but at what school he was educated , whether at any public school, does not appear. The first record o f his life is that he was entered at Magdalen Hall in the Uni versity 1 609 his o f Oxford in , and that he took degree o f Bachelor of Arts there in regular course , and was elected a fellow o f Al l Souls College in 1 61 3 o f , where he proceeded in the study law accordin g to the provisions o f the statutes o f o f . that college .

It would be an interesting subject to describe the mode of life of an undergraduate at Oxford at the commencement o f the seventeenth r centu y, but we unfortunately possess no diaries o f the period to refer to for information o f the kind . We are al most entirely ignorant o f the habits of the place, and indeed are indebted to Anthony Wood for almost all ff that is known about university a airs , matters ll o f in co ege being of course less public interest , and in consequence having passed into oblivion . ’ But the few years o f Steward s residence in 4 LIFE OF RICHARD STEWARD Oxford were very remarkable in many points o f w Vie , and as the proceedings which marked them seem to have exercised considerable influence in forming his character, it may be worth while to say a few words about them . Theology of one sort or another certainly was more studied than it now is, and men, accord in g to the peculiar bent of their minds , devoted themselves to the reading o f favourite authors but amongst these Calvin’s works had decidedly - the pre eminence, and hence arose the absorbing interest in the topics which are generally called The after his name . five points were de bated as if there really were n o other questions possible in theology, neither indeed, if the principal o n e o f them be admitted and general iz e d n as , philosophically viewi g it, it ought to o n be, is there any room for further debate o r either Divine attributes human actions .

  • Faithful Stewards of the Mysteries of God
    Faithful Stewards of the Mysteries of God Report of the General Secretary Jerome King Del Pino Meeting of the Board of Directors General Board of Higher Education and Ministry October 13, 2005 Nashville, Tennessee hen at its gathering in 2004 General Conference brought into being the Connectional Table, it undertook a restructuring of Wour denomination’s corporate life that harbors far-reaching implications for how United Methodists will interpret and live out their mission in the twenty-first century.And to the extent that the church’s mission and ministry find expression through the work of the general agencies, the deliberations and actions of the Connectional Table will have a direct impact on the mission of the General Board of Higher Education and Ministry.This is unavoidable.After all, as the Book of Discipline makes clear, the Connectional Table is the venue where “ministry and money are brought to the same table to coordinate the mission, ministries, and resources of The United Methodist Church.”1 The Connectional Table represents a powerful opportunity for revital- izing the mission and ministry of The United Methodist Church in the new century. However, ironically, it also harbors the real danger of con- tributing to the further fracturing of the United Methodist connection. I submit that whether the Connectional Table will be blessing or bane depends vitally on the willingness of the church’s leaders to subject this new confluence of “connection,”“mission,”“money,”and “ministry” to deep-running theological scrutiny.The fact is, United Methodism’s unfortu- 2 nate penchant for a distorted pragmatism that says,“If it works, let’s do it,” is a bane to our church.

  • Fourth Quarter Program of Study ~2008~
    “THE STEWARD MINISTRY: IN PRINCIPLE AND IN PRACTICE” FFOOUURRTTHH QQUUAARRTTEERR PPRROOGGRRAAMM OOFF SSTTUUDDYY ~~22000088~~ WRITTEN BY: Clifford L. Harris, President CONNECTIONAL LAY COUNCIL OF THE DEPARTMENT OF LAY MINISTRY CHRISTIAN METHODIST EPISCOPAL CHURCH DR. VICTOR TAYLOR, GENERAL SECRETARY BISHOP THOMAS LANIER HOYT, JR., CHAIRMAN INTRODUCTION The Fourth and final 2008 Connectional Lay Council Quarterly Program of Study is based primarily on facts outlined and recorded in Chapter 35 of the 2006 CME Church Book of Discipline. The *process and duties recorded in this chapter, pertaining to the Steward Ministry, will be presented as “principles” and my comments relative to the approach or method of addressing the principles will be presented as “practices”. One should, in reading and digesting this document, have the Book of Discipline on hand. As you begin this lesson, please consider very sincerely Section 509, of Chapter 35, under the heading of “Spiritual Expectations”. It reads as follows: God calls God’s people to various ministries. In the local congregation such ministries are fulfilled in positions of leadership. Each is vital to the church’s effort to fulfill its mission as the body of Christ in every place. Accordingly, persons placed in positions of leadership should evidence the highest level of commitment to Christ and His/Her Church by participation in public worship, Sunday Church School, opportunities for prayer and Bible study, and such spiritual disciplines as tithing of self and resources. Taking into consideration the individual and collective relationships of Stewards to the Pastor and the on-going spiritual and financial health of the church, I find that section 509 is tremendously important.

  • The Wesleyan Enlightenment
    The Wesleyan Enlightenment: Closing the gap between heart religion and reason in Eighteenth Century England by Timothy Wayne Holgerson B.M.E., Oral Roberts University, 1984 M.M.E., Wichita State University, 1986 M.A., Asbury Theological Seminary, 1999 M.A., Kansas State University, 2011 AN ABSTRACT OF A DISSERTATION submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Department of History College of Arts and Sciences KANSAS STATE UNIVERSITY Manhattan, Kansas 2017 Abstract John Wesley (1703-1791) was an Anglican priest who became the leader of Wesleyan Methodism, a renewal movement within the Church of England that began in the late 1730s. Although Wesley was not isolated from his enlightened age, historians of the Enlightenment and theologians of John Wesley have only recently begun to consider Wesley in the historical context of the Enlightenment. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to provide a comprehensive understanding of the complex relationship between a man, John Wesley, and an intellectual movement, the Enlightenment. As a comparative history, this study will analyze the juxtaposition of two historiographies, Wesley studies and Enlightenment studies. Surprisingly, Wesley scholars did not study John Wesley as an important theologian until the mid-1960s. Moreover, because social historians in the 1970s began to explore the unique ways people experienced the Enlightenment in different local, regional and national contexts, the plausibility of an English Enlightenment emerged for the first time in the early 1980s. As a result, in the late 1980s, scholars began to integrate the study of John Wesley and the Enlightenment. In other words, historians and theologians began to consider Wesley as a serious thinker in the context of an English Enlightenment that was not hostile to Christianity.

  • The Evolution of George Hakewill's Apologie Or
    The Evolution of George Hakewill’s Apologie or Declaration of the Power and Providence of God, 1627-1637: Academic Contexts, and Some New Angles from Manuscripts William Poole George Hakewill’s An Apologie of the Power and Providence of God in the Government of the World stands in the first rank of philosophical and literary achievement in the early Caroline period. Hakewill first published his long text in 1627, but soon released a slightly expanded edition in 1630 and a greatly expanded one in 1635, adding or Declaration after An Apologie to the title of both new editions. (The revision in the title partially shifts the generic claim from apologia, literally a speech in defence, towards the more affirmative declaratio or declaration.) The first edition was printed by John Lichfield and William Turner, printers to the University of Oxford, and Turner printed the second and third editions too, to be sold by Robert Allott in London. Hakewill’s great work was therefore very much an Oxford publication, and he included in his later editions many testimonials from prominent Oxford academicians. The work grew by accretion from around 500 pages in 1627 to over 1000 in 1635. Discussions of The Apologie have always treated it as a solely vernacular and printed phenomenon, a text in the vein of Robert Burton’s Anatomy of Melancholy (1621), and a prompt for Sir Thomas Browne’s Pseudodoxia Epidemica (1646). All three texts, we may note, went through many authorial revisions. Hakewill proposed that in both the natural and human realms the world underwent cycles of decline and increase, and that therefore modern scholars and writers should not feel necessarily inferior to their ancient forbears.

    The History of Parliament Trust Oral History Project interviewees, clockwise from top: Baroness Helene Hayman, Baroness Ann Taylor, Jackie Ballard, Baroness Janet Fookes. All portraits by Barbara Luckhurst, www.barbaraluckhurstphotography.com © Barabara Luckhurst/History of Parliament Trust Review of Activities, 2017-18 Objectives and activities of the History of Parliament Trust The History of Parliament is a major academic project to create a scholarly reference work describing the members, constituencies and activities of the Parliament of England and the United Kingdom. The volumes either published or in preparation cover the House of Commons from 1386 to 1868 and the House of Lords from 1603 to 1832. They are widely regarded as an unparalleled source for British political, social and local history. The volumes consist of detailed studies of elections and electoral politics in each constituency, and of closely researched accounts of the lives of everyone who was elected to Parliament in the period, together with surveys drawing out the themes and discoveries of the research and adding information on the operation of Parliament as an institution. The History has published 22,136 biographies and 2,831 constituency surveys in twelve sets of volumes (46 volumes in all), containing over 25 million words. They deal with 1386-1421, 1509-1558, 1558-1603, 1604-29, 1660-1690, 1690-1715, 1715-1754, 1754- 1790, 1790-1820 and 1820-32. All of these articles, except those on the House of Lords 1660-1715, are now available on www.historyofparliamentonline.org . The History’s staff of professional historians is currently researching the House of Commons in the periods 1422-1504, 1640-1660, and 1832-1868, and the House of Lords in the periods 1603-60 and 1660-1832.
