  • Greater Jeffersontown Historical Society Meetings Are Now Held on the First Monday of the Even Numbered Months of the Year
    GREATER JEFFERSONTOWN HISTORICAL SOCIETY NEWSLETTER December 2015 Vol. 13 Number 6 December 2015 Meeting The December meeting will be held Monday, December 7, 2015. We will meet at 7:00 P.M. in the meeting room of the Jeffersontown Library at 10635 Watterson Trail. The speaker will be Robert Prather who is going to tell us about The Strange Case of Jonathan Swift and the Real Long John Silver. Swift was a miner in the 1700s and is said to have owned the largest mansion in Alexandria, Virginia. Was the mine in Kentucky or Virginia or Tennessee? Some traditions say it is/was in Kentucky. What is the true identity of the mysterious silver miner? Sources of information provided in Kentucky history books were generally attained through verbal accounts; therefore, no written verifiable description has ever been provided to disclose the miner’s full identity. Mr. Prather says that the identity of the mysterious silver miner is revealed in his book. The author also states, “As with all folk stories and legends, only basic information regarding any particular story is passed on by verbal accounts and in most instances the stories have been embellished and altered from one telling to the next.” Swift’s mining activities took place during the late 1700’s, so how much truth has survived? The Greater Jeffersontown Historical Society meetings are now held on the first Monday of the even numbered months of the year. Everyone is encouraged to attend to help guide and grow the Society. February, 2016 Meeting As part of Black History Month along with the Jeffersontown Branch Library we will have a program presented by local author, Carridder Jones, “Voices from Historical African American Communities Near Louisville, Kentucky.” October Meeting Kadie Engstrom, Education Coordinator for the Belle of Louisville, has worked with the historic steamboat Belle of Louisville in several capacities since 1972, and has been Education Coordinator since 1992.

    Morse Telegraph Club Station Calls 540 – NEW YORK CENTRAL SYSTEM – 540 Source: "Telegraph Calls of the New York Central Lines," Gordon M. Meints, compilor (Kalamazoo, Mich: Michigan Classic Railroad Reprints, 1980). Meint's work is a 36 page, two-column, single spaced softback. In the introduction, Meints mentions that his work is "arranged by operating divisions of the NYC and its leased lines as they existed around 1940." But his only reference to his sources is the statement that the work was "compiled from New York Central publications and employee timetables." His center-fold map is taken from the 1924 "NYC Director of Stations." Bill Dunbar has marked several mistakes and a number of ommissions in the Meints work.

  • Bruxy Cavey and the Meeting House Megachurch: a Dramaturgical Model of Charismatic Leadership Performing “Evangelicalism for People Not Into Evangelicalism”
    Bruxy Cavey and The Meeting House Megachurch: A Dramaturgical Model of Charismatic Leadership Performing “Evangelicalism for People Not Into Evangelicalism” by Peter Schuurman A thesis presented to the University of Waterloo in fulfilment of the thesis requirement for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Religious Studies Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, 2016 © Peter Schuurman 2016 ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! Author’s Declaration I hereby declare that I am the sole author of this thesis. This is a true copy of the thesis, including any required final revisions, as accepted by my examiners. I understand that my thesis may be made electronically available to the public. ! ii ! Abstract Megachurch pastors—as local and international celebrities—have been a growing phenomenon since the 1960s, when megachurches began to proliferate across North America. Why are these leaders and their large congregations so popular in an age of increasing “religious nones”? Commentators in both popular and academic literature often resort to characterizing the leadership with stereotypes of manipulative opportunists along the lines of Sinclair Lewis’ Elmer Gantry (1927) or narrow characterizations of savvy entrepreneurs who thrive in a competitive religious economy. Similarly, writers assume megachurch attendees are a passive audience, or even dupes. This dissertation challenges the Elmer Gantry stereotype and the religious economic perspectives by examining one particular megachurch pastor named Bruxy Cavey in the context of his “irreligious” megachurch community called
