ABSTRACT THE ORIGIN, DEVELOPMENT, AND HISTORY OF THE NORWEGIAN SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTIST CHURCH FROM THE 1840s TO 1887 by Bjorgvin Martin Hjelvik Snorrason Adviser: Jerry Moon ABSTRACT OF GRADUATE STUDENT RESEARCH Dissertation Andrews University Seventh-day Adventist Theological Seminary Title: THE ORIGIN, DEVELOPMENT, AND HISTORY OF THE NORWEGIAN SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTIST CHURCH FROM THE 1840s TO 1887 Name of researcher: Bjorgvin Martin Hjelvik Snorrason Name and degree of faculty adviser: Jerry Moon, Ph.D. Date completed: July 2010 This dissertation reconstructs chronologically the history of the Seventh-day Adventist Church in Norway from the Haugian Pietist revival in the early 1800s to the establishment of the first Seventh-day Adventist Conference in Norway in 1887. The present study has been based as far as possible on primary sources such as protocols, letters, legal documents, and articles in journals, magazines, and newspapers from the nineteenth century. A contextual-comparative approach was employed to evaluate the objectivity of a given source. Secondary sources have also been consulted for interpretation and as corroborating evidence, especially when no primary sources were available. The study concludes that the Pietist revival ignited by the Norwegian Lutheran lay preacher, Hans Nielsen Hauge (1771-1824), represented the culmination of the sixteenth- century Reformation in Norway, and the forerunner of the Adventist movement in that country. -

SURVEYSOFRESEARCH—POLEMICS Kwartalnik Historyczny Vol. CXXV, 2018 Eng.-Language Edition no. 2, pp. 111–42 PL ISSN 0023-5903 PRZEMYSŁAW PAZIK Institute of History, University of Warsaw College of Europe, Natolin POLITICAL CATHOLICISM IN POLAND IN 1945–1948. * AN OVERVIEW OF POLITICAL ACTIVITY OF CATHOLICS Abstract: The article is a reconstruction of the most important strands in the histo- riography devoted to the political activity of the laity after 1945, especially the period between 1945 and 1948. The author first discusses pre-1989 literature and then the most recent studies devoted to political Catholicism in Poland. In the main part of the article he presents three strands in historiography: research into the Labour Party, re- search into groups associated with Catholic socio-political weeklies, and biographies and syntheses of the history of the Catholics and the Church. Keywords: political Catholicism, Catholic Church in the Polish People’s Republic, Christian Democracy. Introduction The aim of the article is to carry out an overview of the most important tendencies in the historiography devoted to social and political activities of lay Catholics in 1945–48. This, I hope, will make it possible to provide an important addition to the existing overviews of the literature on the rela- 1 tions between the Church and the state. The scope of the problems tackled in the article are determined by the use of the term ‘political Catholicism’ * The article is a result of research conducted thanks to a National Science Centre grant, no.2016/23/N/HS3/00380.I would like to cordially thank my research supervi- sor, Paweł Skibiński from the Institute of History, University of Warsaw, members of the editorial board of Kwartalnik Historyczny as well as the anonymous reviewers for their valuable remarks and suggestions. -
Catholic Poles in the USSR During the Second World War*
Religion, State and Society, Vol. 22, No. 1, 1994 Catholic Poles in the USSR during the Second World War* J6ZEFGULA The first of September 1939 was a tragic day in the history of Poland: the German army invaded the country from the west. Within a short time, on 17 September, a second invasion took place: in close cooperation with the Germans, the Soviet army invaded from the east, and some 1,500,000 Poles were subsequently deported to prisons, concentration camps and exile in the Soviet Union. In the Soviet Union, all forms of religious life were systematically suppressed. Those who openly professed their religious faith qualified for prison and death. Thus the Poles, the vast majority of whom were religious believers, were an endangered species in Russia. Ironically, it was the Germap. invasion of Russia in June 1941 which helped to relax for a year the deadly yoke of this oppression. At the time of this invasion, over 100,000 of the exiled Poles enjoyed, one may say, a degree of religious freedom. Their camps became oases of religious life unique in the country; and they are the subject of this article. Introduction: the Historical Context The written history of Poland from the tenth century onwards shows a strong link between church and state. The adoption of Christianity from Rome is seen now not only as a result of the zealous work of missionaries but also as a calculated political decision by the reigning prince. By accepting the influence of Rome, the Polish Kingdom was 'westernised' and under the leadership of the Piast family incorporated into a Christian Europe. -
The Attlee Governments
Vic07 10/15/03 2:11 PM Page 159 Chapter 7 The Attlee governments The election of a majority Labour government in 1945 generated great excitement on the left. Hugh Dalton described how ‘That first sensa- tion, tingling and triumphant, was of a new society to be built. There was exhilaration among us, joy and hope, determination and confi- dence. We felt exalted, dedication, walking on air, walking with destiny.’1 Dalton followed this by aiding Herbert Morrison in an attempt to replace Attlee as leader of the PLP.2 This was foiled by the bulky protection of Bevin, outraged at their plotting and disloyalty. Bevin apparently hated Morrison, and thought of him as ‘a scheming little bastard’.3 Certainly he thought Morrison’s conduct in the past had been ‘devious and unreliable’.4 It was to be particularly irksome for Bevin that it was Morrison who eventually replaced him as Foreign Secretary in 1951. The Attlee government not only generated great excitement on the left at the time, but since has also attracted more attention from academics than any other period of Labour history. Foreign policy is a case in point. The foreign policy of the Attlee government is attractive to study because it spans so many politically and historically significant issues. To start with, this period was unique in that it was the first time that there was a majority Labour government in British political history, with a clear mandate and programme of reform. Whereas the two minority Labour governments of the inter-war period had had to rely on support from the Liberals to pass legislation, this time Labour had power as well as office. -
Apprentice Strikes in Twentieth Century UK Engineering and Shipbuilding*
Apprentice strikes in twentieth century UK engineering and shipbuilding* Paul Ryan Management Centre King’s College London November 2004 * Earlier versions of this paper were presented to the International Conference on the European History of Vocational Education and Training, University of Florence, the ESRC Seminar on Historical Developments, Aims and Values of VET, University of Westminster, and the annual conference of the British Universities Industrial Relations Association. I would like to thank Alan McKinlay and David Lyddon for their generous assistance, and Lucy Delap, Alan MacFarlane, Brian Peat, David Raffe, Alistair Reid and Keith Snell for comments and suggestions; the Engineering Employers’ Federation and the Department of Education and Skills for access to unpublished information; the staff of the Modern Records Centre, Warwick, the Mitchell Library, Glasgow, the Caird Library, Greenwich, and the Public Record Office, Kew, for assistance with archive materials; and the Nuffield Foundation and King’s College, Cambridge for financial support. 2 Abstract Between 1910 and 1970, apprentices in the engineering and shipbuilding industries launched nine strike movements, concentrated in Scotland and Lancashire. On average, the disputes lasted for more than five weeks, drawing in more than 15,000 young people for nearly two weeks apiece. Although the disputes were in essence unofficial, they complemented sector-wide negotiations by union officials. Two interpretations are considered: a political-social-cultural one, emphasising political motivation and youth socialisation, and an economics-industrial relations one, emphasising collective action and conflicting economic interests. Both interpretations prove relevant, with qualified priority to the economics-IR one. The apprentices’ actions influenced economic outcomes, including pay structures and training incentives, and thereby contributed to the decline of apprenticeship. -
Heroes of Peace Profiles of the Scottish Peace Campaigners Who Opposed the First World War
Heroes of Peace Profiles of the Scottish peace campaigners who opposed the First World War a paper from the Introduction The coming year will see many attempts to interpret the First World War as a ‘just’ war with the emphasis on the heroic sacrifice of troops in the face of an evil enemy. No-one is questioning the bravery or the sacrifice although the introduction of conscription sixteen months after the start of the war meant that many of the men who fought did not do so from choice and once in the armed forces they had to obey orders or be shot. Even many of the volunteers in the early stages of the war signed up on the assumption that it would all be over in a few months with few casualties. We want to ensure that there is an alternative – and we believe more valid – interpretation of the events of a century ago made available to the public. This was a war in which around ten million young men were killed on the battlefield in four years, about 120,000 of them were Scottish. Proportionately Scotland suffered the highest number of war dead apart from Serbia and Turkey. It was described as the ‘war to end wars’ but instead it created the conditions for the rise of Hitler and the Second World War just twenty years later as a result of the very harsh terms imposed on Germany and the determination to humiliate the losing states. It also contributed to some of the current problems in the Middle East since, as part of the war settlement, Britain and France took ownership of large parts of the Ottoman Empire and divided up the territory with no reference to the identities and interests of the people. -
British Domestic Security Policy and Communist Subversion: 1945-1964
View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Apollo British Domestic Security Policy and Communist Subversion: 1945-1964 William Styles Corpus Christi College, University of Cambridge September 2016 This dissertation is submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy William Styles British Domestic Security Policy and Communist Subversion: 1945-1964 This thesis is concerned with an analysis of British governmental attitudes and responses to communism in the United Kingdom during the early years of the Cold War, from the election of the Attlee government in July 1945 up until the election of the Wilson government in October 1964. Until recently the topic has been difficult to assess accurately, due to the scarcity of available original source material. However, as a result of multiple declassifications of both Cabinet Office and Security Service files over the past five years it is now possible to analyse the subject in greater depth and detail than had been previously feasible. The work is predominantly concerned with four key areas: firstly, why domestic communism continued to be viewed as a significant threat by successive governments – even despite both the ideology’s relatively limited popular support amongst the general public and Whitehall’s realisation that the Communist Party of Great Britain presented little by way of a direct challenge to British political stability. Secondly, how Whitehall’s understanding of the nature and severity of the threat posed by British communism developed between the late 1940s and early ‘60s, from a problem considered mainly of importance only to civil service security practices to one which directly impacted upon the conduct of educational policy and labour relations. -

Samodzielna Brygada Spadochronowa. Streszczenie Artykuł omawia kilka wydarzeń z dziejów zwycięskiego szlaku bojowego 1. Dywi- zji Pancernej, nazwanej od nazwiska dowódcy dywizją generała Maczka. Poprzez nie, autor stara się zwrócić uwagę na emocje żołnierzy i ich zróżnicowanie, w zależ- ności od wymiaru osiąganych zwycięstw. Przypomina mordercze walki o wzgórza Mont Ormel, dalej wyzwolenie mieszkańców Bredy z jednoczesną, rzadko w bojo- wych warunkach stosowaną, troską o zachowanie bezcennych zabytków architek- tonicznych miasta, następnie uwolnienie 1728 kobiet, żołnierzy AK – uczestniczek powstania warszawskiego, z jenieckiego obozu Stalag VI C w Oberlangen, wresz- cie kapitulację wojsk hitlerowskich w udekorowanym biało-czerwonymi flagami Wilhelmshafen, będącym dumą niemieckiej marynarki. Po trudnym, ponaddwulet- nim zarządzaniu polską strefą okupacyjną w niemieckiej Fryzji i księstwie Olden- burgskim – tzw. ,,Emslandzie” została ujawniona informacja o jałtańskiej zdradzie, z czym wiązało się cofnięcie uznania dla Rządu Polskiego na Wychodźstwie. Arty- kuł kończy refleksja przyrównująca te emocje do innych, znanych z wcześniejszych kart historii Polski. 201 Krzysztof Bąkała Koniec II wojny światowej zastał poszczególne formacje bojowe sprzymierzonych w różnych rejonach Europy. Przez szereg lat w prze- strzeni symbolicznej, dotyczącej kontekstu finału polskiego czynu zbrojnego w II wojnie światowej, utrwaliła się Brama Brandenburska i stojący w jej pobliżu czołg T-34/85.
