  • Methodist History, 30:3 (April 1992)
    ···------- Methodist History, 30:3 (April 1992) JOHN BENNET: "SERVANT OF JESUS CHRIST IN THE WORKE OF THE GOSPEL" S. R. VALENTINE Many scholars, particularly those within Methodism, have either ig­ nored John Bennet or dismissed him as being "an incorrigible Dissenter." 1 Mainly because of his involvement with Grace Murray, a woman appar­ ently already engaged to John Wesley himself, those with a denomina­ tional axe to grind have branded Bennet as "a treacherous, unfriendly man."2 Others, sometimes in a highly romanticized fashion, have presented Bennet as a cowardly figure, suffering from a "sensitive nervous tempera­ ment," in contrast to John Wesley, "in all his virile frame." 3 After almost two hundred fifty years of neglect by ecclesiastical scholarship, Bennet is still regarded by some as "the first authentic Methodist agitator. " 4 However, if we peer through the considerable mist of prejudice which has gathered around the name of Bennet since his death in 1759, it becomes clear that this traditional image hardly does credit to the historical details of Bennet's life. As certain writers have stated, not only was he "one of Wesley's most responsible helpers in Yorkshire, Lancashire and Derby­ shire," 5 but :Bennet has also been described as "the most outstanding of Wesley's young preachers." 6 His usefulness as an itinerant evangelist is further evidenced in a remark made by Charles Wesley when he stated concerning Bennet: "there is not one of all our labourers whom I esteem and love or with whom I am more united." 7 Such a weight of both con­ temporary and recent testimony supports the designation of Bennet as "the apostle of the Northwest.

  • Coercive Control in Domestic Relationships
    Submission No 109 COERCIVE CONTROL IN DOMESTIC RELATIONSHIPS Name: Professor Marilyn McMahon and Mr Paul McGorrery Position: Deputy Dean Date Received: 3 February 2021 3 February 2021 Natalie Ward MP Chair, Joint Select Committee on Coercive Control CC: Trish Doyle MP (Deputy Chair) Abigail Boyd MP (Member) Justin Clancy MP (Member) Steph Cooke MP (Member) Rod Roberts MP (Member) Peter Sidgreaves MP (Member) Anna Watson MP (Member) Dear Ms Ward and Committee Members, RE: CRIMINALISING COERCIVE CONTROL IN NSW Thank you for the invitation to make a submission in response to the discussion paper published in October 2020 about whether NSW criminal law should be extended to capture what is now commonly referred to as coercive control. The discussion paper discusses a broad range of issues. There are no doubt many reforms across the criminal law and related areas that would benefit from review in light of our contemporary understanding of domestic abuse. Our submission is, however, limited to the issue of whether a new, standalone offence should be enacted to criminalise the behaviours known as ‘coercive control.’ We understand the term ‘coercive control’ to refer to a pattern of control and domination in a domestic relationship that can include verbal, economic and psychological abuse, as well as sexual and physical violence. The term is commonly associated with the work of Evan Stark but should not be dependent on that single stream of research and advocacy. The issue of criminalising ‘coercive control’ is significant because many of these abusive behaviours are not yet criminalised, and those that are directly or indirectly criminalised do not adequately recognise the harms caused and/or are difficult to enforce.

  • 1 Glasgow 2014, the Media and Scottish Politics
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Oxford Brookes University: RADAR Glasgow 2014, the media and Scottish politics – the (post)imperial symbolism of the Commonwealth Games Stuart Whigham, Jack Black Abstract This article critically examines print media discourses regarding the 2014 Glasgow Commonwealth Games. The forthcoming analysis considers the political symbolism of the Commonwealth Games with regards to the interlinkages between the British Empire, sport and the global political status of the UK, with specific consideration given to the UK’s declining global power as well as the interconnections between the 2014 Games and the Scottish independence referendum. Hechter’s (1975) ‘internal colonialism’ thesis, which portrays Scotland’s marginalised status within the UK, is drawn upon to critically explore the political symbolism of sport for Scottish nationalism, before discussion focuses upon the extent to which the modern Commonwealth is symptomatic of the UK’s declining status as a global power. Finally, the existence of these narrative tropes in print media coverage of the Commonwealth Games is examined, allowing for critical reflections on the continuing interconnections between the media, sport, nationalism and post-imperial global politics. Keywords British Empire, media discourse, post-imperialism, nationalism, sport, Commonwealth Games 1 Introduction The link between empire and the UK’s various ‘nationalisms’ has proved a valuable line of enquiry for those considering contemporary renditions of Britishness (Mycock, 2010). Advocates of the ‘new imperial history’ have recited a ‘shared … determination to demonstrate that it was [and is] impossible to separate the histories of Britain and its Empire because they were, politically and culturally, mutually constitutive of each other’ (Vernon, 2016: 21).

  • Proceedings Wesley Historical Society
    Proceedings OF THE Wesley Historical Society Editor: E. ALAN ROSE, B.A. Volume 51 May 1998 SIGNIFICANT INROADS INTO 'SATAN'S SEAT' Early Methodism in Bradford: 1740-1760 Introduction radford by the mid-eighteenth century was beginning to emerge as an important industrial centre. Woollen manufacture, a trade Bwhich had begun in the Aire Valley in the medieval period, had become, by 1750, the economic basis of the town.! The improvement of roads such as that from Leeds to Halifax via Great Horton, which was turnpiked in 1734, and Bowling Lane, providing a route to Huddersfield in 1740, and the extension of the Leeds -Liverpool Canal to Thackley in 1744, provided cheap and convenient transport links necessary for economic growth. With the building of the Bowling and Low Moor Iron Works in the reign of George Ill, and the erection of the textile mills at Whetley and Manningham in the Victorian period, Bradford became 'Worstedopolis', the undisputed wool capital of the world. This rapid industrialisation brought about a significant rise in the town's population as labourers began to drift in from the surrounding rural districts, and from Ireland, in search of employment. By 1750 Bradford had grown from being nothing more than a village to a town of about 8,000 people. This industrial expansion provided the socio-economic context for the development of local religious dissent. Several ministers in the vicinity of Bradford, had been ejected from their livings in 1662 due to their refusal to give their 'unfeigned assent and consent to all and everything contained and prescribed in and by the book intituled "The Book of Common Prayer"'.
