    “Let’s talk it over at Mohonk Mohonk.” DECEMBER Consultations 2018 The beauty of the natural surroundings at Mohonk, along with its Quaker traditions of peaceful inclusiveness, provide a unique atmosphere for exchanging ideas and creating solutions. 2018 was a year of community building. Mohonk Consultations has helped communities face challenges and find solutions since our beginning in 1980. Our non-profit organization engages and convenes a diverse group of Hudson Valley residents to collaborate on regional issues with global significance. Our past conferences, forums, award ceremonies, and publications have focused on agriculture and food security, water resources, land conservation, social justice, peace building, and climate change. Mohonk Consultations’ mission has remained the same—to foster a clearer awareness of the interrelationship of all life on earth and help develop practical solutions. Throughout 2018, Mohonk Consultations kept its attention on building community, conservation, landscape connectivity, and sustainable agriculture in the Hudson Valley. We focused on pressing issues facing our local area while also incorporating national and global perspectives. Embraced by the inspiring venue of Mohonk Mountain House, our attendees shared their viewpoints, expertise, and experiences. As we look back, it’s worth recapping our final conference of 2017 that served as the foundation for our first 2018 event. On Monday, November 6, 2017 a sold-out conference, Nature Across Boundaries: Keeping Lands and Waters Connected was held in the Mohonk Mountain House Conference Center. Speakers and attendees came from throughout our region. Laura Heady, Mohonk Consultations board member and Conservation and Land Use Program Coordinator at the NYSDEC Hudson River Estuary Program kicked off the conference, putting “connectivity” into a Hudson Valley context.

Today, Mohonk Mountain House is still intent upon providing recreation and renewal for guests and continues its 149-year commitment to environmental stewardship through earth-friendly activities and design features, an extensive energy saving and recycling program, and green initiatives that preserve the land and educate people. The resort received an award on its 125th anniversary from the United Nations Environment Programme—recognizing the Smiley Family and Mohonk Mountain House “for generations of dedicated leadership and commitment to the protection and enhancement of the environment and for their inestimable contribution to the cause of peace, justice, and sustainable human development.” In October 2011, the Smiley family and Mohonk Mountain House staff were honored for 143 years of land stewardship by the Open Space Institute. “My great-grand-uncle understood the need to provide guests with an opportunity to experience nature directly,” says Mohonk’s current President Albert K. Smiley III. “People today have little free time, so it’s increasingly important to provide a place where people can easily connect with a strikingly beautiful natural environment and immediately feel nurtured by that connection.” Earth-Friendly Design Features: The Spa at Mohonk Mountain House A geothermal heating and cooling system moderates the temperature of the spa using the constant temperature of the earth, ensuring an emission- and noise-free zone.

  • Neo-Evangelical Identity with American Religious Society of Friends (Quakers): Oregon Yearly Meeting, 1919-1947
    Neo-Evangelical Identity within American Religious Society of Friends (Quakers): Oregon Yearly Meeting, 1919 - 1947. BY TIMOTHY JAMES BURDICK A thesis submitted to the University of Birmingham for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY School of Philosophy, Theology and Religion College of Arts and Law University of Birmingham 4 January 2013 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties.

Further distribution or reproduction in any format is prohibited without the permission of the copyright holder. ABSTRACT This thesis is an historical case-study using archival written data to analyse the formation of a neo-evangelical identity within Oregon Yearly Meeting (OYM) of the Religious Society of Friends, with emphasis on the years 1919-1947. The argument of this thesis is that by 1919 there were fundamentalist thinking patterns developing within the corporate religious identity of the Yearly Meeting (YM) marked by ecumenical separatism, world-rejecting views, biblical literalism and decreasing social action. The values of this fundamentalist identity became dominant by 1926, pervading the mindset of the YM until the late 1940s when it was replaced with a more socially-concerned, world-engaging expression of evangelicalism. This neo-evangelicalism attempted to highlight positive Christianity, while maintaining the supernatural orthodox theology of its fundamentalist predecessors.

  • River of Dreams Chapter 2 Life and Labor in The
    Chapter 2 Life and Labor in the Hudson Valley Rapid change marked the history of the Hudson Valley in the nineteenth century. As the conflicts of previous times receded into a storied past, its farms and towns became laboratories in which the new nation experimented itself into modernity. Major changes in agricultural production, the stirrings of big-business enterprise, and a transportation revolution that would trans- form both state and nation were only part of its tumult. The Hudson Valley also fostered alternative lifestyles and the first great school of American artists. Many members of the American leisure class chose to settle and frequent the region. The story of the century is often telescoped as the rise of New York City as the national metropolis, but the domination of Manhattan makes far more sense when considered in conjunction with events in the valley. The New Hudson Valley No state suffered more from the Revolution than New York. Its borders were ravaged, the Hudson corridor was a battlefield, and its greatest city was de- populated and forlorn. When rebuilding began in the 1780s, the flight of tens of thousands of loyalists along with their money and expertise posed a severe challenge. New York’s recovery would have been long delayed had not a major shift of population occurred to replenish the loss. A wave of new immi- gration flooded into the state from the countryside of New England after Life and Labor in the Hudson Valley 37 This content downloaded from 137.140.1.131 on Thu, 09 Apr 2020 02:04:02 UTC All use subject to https://about.jstor.org/terms peace opened a convenient route west from its unyielding soil.
