The Good, the Bad & the Ugly: the Second Great Awakening
This presentation explains the facts, causes and pros and cons of the effects of the Second Great Awakening upon American Christianity.
Second Great Awakening
The document summarizes the Second Great Awakening in American religious history. It began in the late 18th century and lasted into the mid-19th century, starting in the southern frontier and spreading northeast. Religious revivals promoted by camp meetings and preachers like Charles Finney converted many souls and established new denominations. The revivals had varied regional impacts and influenced the abolitionist movement through figures like Theodore Weld and Harriet Beecher Stowe's Uncle Tom's Cabin.
Second Great Awakening
The document summarizes the Second Great Awakening, a period of religious revival in the late 18th and early 19th centuries in the United States. It began in the southern frontier and spread northeast, with more emotional revivals in the west. Prominent preachers like Peter Cartwright and Charles Finney promoted camp meetings to spread the gospel. The Second Great Awakening converted many, shattered existing churches, and led to new denominations. It influenced social reforms and the establishment of colleges, and fueled opposition to slavery through figures like Theodore Weld and Harriet Beecher Stowe.
The 2nd Great Awakening
The Second Great Awakening from the late 1820s to 1830s was a religious revival in the United States that stressed the need to revive churches. It was fueled by other religions like Deism and spread through traveling preachers and large revival meetings that could last for days. Key figures like Charles Finney developed practices still used today, while William Miller founded the Millerites and Joseph Smith founded Mormonism, creating new denominations, as Baptists and Methodists also saw increased membership during this period of religious awakening and social reform.
The 2nd Great Awakening
The document discusses the Second Great Awakening, a Protestant religious revival in the United States from about 1801 to 1830. It was a response to the lack of religious observance as people moved westward. Camp meetings were established to gather large numbers of pioneers. Important figures included Barton Stone, who led the Cane Ridge Revival and the Stone-Campbell movement, as well as Methodist preacher Peter Cartwright and Presbyterian minister Charles Finney. The goals were to save souls and reform communities. The effects included the formation of reform groups like abolitionists and temperance movements, and the flourishing of religious denominations like Methodists and Baptists.
Martin luther the reformer
Martin Luther was a religious reformer who protested against the Catholic Church's practices and corruption. He studied religious texts deeply and developed his communication skills. Luther began campaigning against the Church's beliefs, selling of indulgences, and control over accessing God. This led the pope to order Luther's arrest. At his trial, Luther refused to renounce his writings and was almost burned at the stake. However, his ideas gained widespread popularity and support from the masses, leading to the beginning of the Protestant Reformation and reform of Christianity.
Religion and Politics ch2
The document discusses four views that were critical to the American constitutional formation on religious liberty: the Puritan view, Evangelical view, Enlightenment view, and Civic Republican view. These four views rejected the traditional Anglican establishment and commonly supported the separation of church and state, freedom from state control over religious institutions, and religion as an unalienable natural right.
Religion and Politics: Perception & Belief
By looking at the relation between beliefs and politics we can begin to see how religious beliefs often take on a political nature – sometimes violent and sometimes peaceful. We can also begin to see how often these beliefs develop because of a vacuum in the secular world.
As a way of illustrating this Dr Alexandre Christoyannopoulos explored with us “Christian Anarchism” because it highlights many of these points.
Talk of religion and politics tends to conjure up images and memories of religious intolerance and political violence, especially if the word 'radical' is added in. Yet many religious radicals are non-violent.
Gandhi, for instance, was a strictly non-violent religious and political radical. What few people know is that his inspiration for this strict non-violence was Christian anarchist Leo Tolstoy.
These slides are associated with a webinar where we discussede nonviolent religious radicalism using Tolstoy and others Christian anarchists as a starting point in order to reflect more broadly on the interaction of religion and politics, on where that leaves the intentions of secularism, and on why nonviolent activism tends to be eclipsed by violent alternatives.

2nd Great Awakening Powerpoint
The Second Great Awakening was a period of religious revival in the United States from 1790-1840 following the American Revolution. Large outdoor camp meetings played a key role, attracting thousands of people to experience preaching and music. Women were especially active in spreading the teachings of the Awakening. Notable figures included Charles Finney, known as the "Father of Modern Revivalism", and circuit preacher Peter Cartwright, who helped establish the Awakening and baptized over 12,000 people. The religious fervor of the time also contributed to social reforms around issues like women's rights and abolitionism.
Religion and society beginning of the lesson
The document discusses religion and society in the USA since the 1890s. It begins by providing context on the Puritan settlers who founded colonies like Massachusetts Bay in the 1600s. In the late 19th century, the Scopes Trial highlighted tensions between modernists who accepted evolution and fundamentalists who advocated for biblical literalism. The trial brought national attention to the debate over teaching evolution in schools. Subsequently, Supreme Court cases reinforced the separation of church and state in public institutions through the 20th century. However, creationism continued to influence political and education debates in the USA.
Utopian Communities
This document summarizes several 19th century American utopian communities:
New Harmony, Indiana was founded in 1825 by Robert Owen with the goal of communal living and equality, but dissolved in 1827 due to conflict. Brook Farm, Massachusetts was started in 1841 by Transcendentalists seeking truth and cooperation, but collapsed in debt in 1846 after a fire. The Oneida Community in New York practiced complex marriage and eugenics from 1848-1879 before becoming a successful silverware company. The Shakers, founded in the 1700s, believed in simplicity, segregated sexes, and have nearly gone extinct due to their celibacy.
Onward christian soldiers chapter 2
This document discusses the origins and history of the Christian Right movement in the United States from the early 20th century to the present. It outlines the emergence of fundamentalism and Pentecostalism as the two religious movements that formed the base of support. It then examines the political activism of fundamentalists on issues like anti-evolutionism and anticommunism. It analyzes the rise of prominent Christian Right organizations like the Moral Majority and the changing constituencies they attempt to appeal to over time.
The multiplicity of religions in the usa isabel corrected
The document discusses the diversity of religions in the USA, including:
- Christianity is the largest affiliation at 78.5%, but there are also many other religions represented.
- Examples of different religious groups and their beliefs are given, including Creationism, Electronic Churches, and Mormons.
- Creationists believe the Bible literally and reject evolution. Electronic Churches combine evangelism, entertainment, and requests for donations on TV and online. Mormons believe Christianity degraded and the Book of Mormon contains the true gospel.
- The American Dream values both faith in God and self-reliance.
Midterm presentation
The document discusses three 19th century religious movements:
1) Mormonism, founded by Joseph Smith in 1830, which believes Smith was visited by Christ and restored true Christianity. They celebrate Pioneer Day on July 24th marking the arrival of Mormons in Salt Lake Valley.
2) Jehovah's Witnesses, founded in 1870 by Charles Taze Russell, which originated from the Bible Student movement and believes God's kingdom is a literal government in heaven ruled by Jesus Christ.
3) Christian Science, founded in 1879 by Mary Baker Eddy in the United States, which believes in spiritual healing and follows the 10 commandments.
The American Problem of "Religion"
Lecture slides from "Introduction to Religious Studies" at the University of Alabama. Written by Prof. Michael J. Altman
How did the Founders of the United States imagine the category "religion?"
The counter reformation
The Counter Reformation was a meeting of Catholic bishops and cardinals from 1545 to 1563 that had two main goals: to rid the Catholic Church of abuses and uphold traditional Catholic beliefs. It established reforms like prohibiting simony and nepotism, requiring proper training of priests in seminaries, and drawing up an index of forbidden books including works by Protestant reformers Luther and Calvin. The Jesuit order played an important role in the Counter Reformation through educational and missionary work aimed at combating the spread of Protestantism.
The Great Awakening
This document discusses lessons about Ben Franklin and the First Great Awakening. It includes objectives and questions about the reasons for the American colonies, Ben Franklin's contributions to society and inventions, key figures in the First Great Awakening like Jonathan Edwards and George Whitefield, and how the Great Awakening led to more religious toleration by emphasizing the individual over established church doctrine.
2ndgreatawakening
The Second Great Awakening was a major Protestant religious revival in the United States from the late 18th century to the middle of the 19th century. It involved highly emotional revivals led by evangelical Protestant ministers, who traveled and preached in camp meetings. Major figures included Charles Grandison Finney, Lyman Beecher, Barton Stone, and Peter Cartwright. The revival encouraged the growth of new denominations and the expansion of Methodism and Baptism, especially on the Western frontier. It reflected the diversity and expansion of the young American nation during this period.
The 2nd Great Awakening
The document discusses the Second Great Awakening, a Protestant religious revival in the United States from about 1801 to 1830. It was a response to the westward expansion, as religious leaders felt people had become less religious. Camp meetings were established to gather large numbers of pioneers. The first was the Cane Ridge Revival led by Barton Stone. The Awakening lasted from 1801 to 1830 and was led by important figures like Peter Cartwright, James McGready, Charles Finney, Nathaniel William Taylor, and Ellen Gould White. The goals were to save souls and reform communities, and effects included new reform groups and the flourishing of multiple religious denominations.
Great Awakening & the Enlightenment
This document discusses religion, education, and politics in colonial America between the 1730s-1750s. It describes the Great Awakening religious revival that appealed especially to women and younger sons. Prominent evangelists included the Wesleys, Whitefield, and Edwards. This led to divisions between "New Light" and "Old Light" Christians. Concurrently, the Enlightenment emphasized reason, science, and human progress. Education was emphasized but opportunities were limited, especially for women, slaves, and Native Americans. The first colleges were founded including Harvard, William & Mary, Yale, Princeton, and Columbia. Benjamin Franklin's scientific experiments and Cotton Mather's inoculation work spread scientific knowledge. Colonial governments had self-rule
SHE - THE RELIGION IN ENGLAND
This document provides an overview of the history of religion in England. It discusses how England originally followed Catholicism until the Reformation divided people into Catholics and Protestants. The Church of England (Anglicanism) was then established under Henry VIII and Queen Elizabeth, adopting some Catholic traditions but rejecting the authority of the Pope. Over time, various dissenting groups emerged such as Methodists, Baptists, Congregationalists, Presbyterians, Quakers, Unitarians, and Adventists who disagreed with aspects of the Church of England. The document describes the key beliefs and origins of these religious groups in England.
2011 AP US PP - Reformers 1800 - 1850
The Second Great Awakening was a religious revival movement in the early 1800s that spread across America. It revived old churches like the Methodists and Baptists and attracted many converts. Circuit-riding preachers traveled across the frontier to spread the gospel. Charles Finney was a leading preacher of this movement who advocated for social reforms like abolishing slavery and allowing women to pray aloud in church. Joseph Smith claimed to receive golden plates from an angel and founded Mormonism in 1830, publishing the Book of Mormon. However, Mormonism faced opposition and controversy over beliefs like polygamy and modern prophets. The Seneca Falls Convention in 1848 was an important event that began the movement for women's rights in America. Transc
The Great Awakening
The Great Awakening was a religious revival movement that originated in the 1730s and 1740s in Britain and its American colonies. It arose in response to a perceived loss of piety due to the Enlightenment and a lack of traditional church structure on the frontier. The movement emphasized emotional religious experiences and justification by faith alone rather than good works. It promoted the idea that salvation was open to all and challenged the emphasis on predestination. The Great Awakening had consequences such as disputes over religious practices, the splitting of some churches, and a new vision of expanded religious liberty for individuals.
Jonathan Edwards and "The Great Awakening"
The document discusses Jonathan Edwards and the religious movement known as the Great Awakening that occurred between 1734-1750. It describes how Edwards sought to promote a "religion of the heart" that moved converts beyond moral duties to an ecstatic spiritual experience. While Edwards writing synthesized Puritan piety and Enlightenment philosophy, he wished to liberate humans from their senses rather than define them by senses. Edwards played a key role in revitalizing religious commitment through powerful sermons, but his dismissal from his church in 1750 showed the limits of the Awakening.
Religion during American Occupation and The Great Schism in the Catholic Church
1. The document discusses the history of Protestantism in the Philippines, which was introduced by Americans during the colonial period following the Spanish-American War in 1898.
2. It describes the key Protestant beliefs like sola scriptura and justification by faith alone. It also explains the comity agreement that divided missionary work among Protestant denominations to avoid conflicts.
3. The document then covers the Great Schism between the Catholic and Orthodox churches in 1054 over issues like the use of religious icons and whether the Pope or Byzantine Emperor had ultimate authority. It outlines some of the differences in practices and beliefs that emerged between the Western and Eastern branches of Christianity.
Harisa religious not
G.W. Foote was a 19th century British secularist who attacked religious thought and founded The Freethinker newspaper. He was charged with blasphemy for his cartoons criticizing the church and sentenced to hard labor. Foote argued against the idea that it "pays" to be religious on one's deathbed, as popularly believed. He believed that what one is taught as a child in matters of faith tends to remain with them throughout their life and in death. Foote advocated for freethought and maintaining one's own beliefs independently rather than reverting back to childhood religious teachings due to pressure near the end of life.
Precepts of the Church
The October session of Journey of Discipleship. Jonathan F. Sullivan and Deacon Patrick O’Toole discussed the precepts of the Church, the Ten Commandments, and the Beatitudes.
First Great Awakening
The document discusses the First Great Awakening, a religious revival in American Protestantism that occurred in the 18th century. It notes key leaders like Jonathan Edwards and George Whitefield who preached to large crowds and traveled throughout the colonies. Their preaching helped spread the Great Awakening and convert people. The document also discusses the Methodist movement founded by John and Charles Wesley and how the Great Awakening divided people into groups like the "Old Lights" who opposed the revivals and the "New Lights" who supported them. The Great Awakening increased religious diversity and tolerance in the colonies.
Bosch chapter 12
The chapter discusses shifts in the paradigm of mission theology, including understanding mission as the church-with-others, as missio Dei (God's mission), as mediating salvation, as the quest for justice, and as evangelism. Key points are that mission is the essence of the church, the local church is fundamental to mission, and the church must hold the tension between being called out of the world and sent into the world.
Who is Paul Tillich?
Paul Tillich was a German-American theologian and philosopher. He had a varied career including being a pastor, professor in Germany until the Nazis came to power, after which he emigrated to the US. He contributed notable works on theology and the relationship between God and humanity. His main ideas included correlating theology with human experience, understanding God as the ground of being rather than a being, and interpreting religious symbols existentially. He sought to bridge dialectical and sacramental ways of thinking through focusing on both human estrangement from God and God's self-revelation.

Theology and the Public Sphere - Prof. David Ford
Theology professors must consider why theology is still relevant today, how to best teach students theological thinking, and whether theologians should contribute to public debates or focus solely on academic teachings. Effective theology education balances teaching students with serving the wider community through engagement in contemporary issues.
A History of the Defenders of the Faith
Ken will give an overview of various defenders of the faith during various periods in Church History, starting with the early Christological debates through Augustine to Aquinas and Natural Theology in the Middle Ages.
We will look at the challenge of the Enlightenment and Modernity and the answers given by the great defenders of the faith in the 20th century, from G.K. Chesterton to Lewis to Francis Schaeffer to Ravi Zacharias and Tim Keller today, and others along the way. Clearly, we will be limited to broad strokes as we attempt to paint this picture
Martin luther king leadership
Martin Luther King Jr. was born in 1929 in Atlanta, Georgia and became a prominent civil rights leader in the 1950s and 1960s. He led the Montgomery Bus Boycott and founded the Southern Christian Leadership Conference to advance nonviolent protests against racial segregation and discrimination. King delivered his iconic "I Have a Dream" speech during the 1963 March on Washington, calling for an end to racism. Though he faced threats and imprisonment for his activism, King inspired millions with his message of equality and justice. He was assassinated in 1968 but remains one of the most celebrated figures in the American civil rights movement.

5 challenges for mission and ministry from postmodern assumptions
This document discusses challenges and opportunities for Christian mission and ministry from a postmodern perspective. It outlines how postmodern assumptions have led to the end of the modern era and Christendom. New models of mission are emerging that focus on personal spirituality, community, social justice, and using various media. The document also notes potential weaknesses like lack of biblical reflection and holding personal views over doctrinal truths.
"The Fires of Fear" - ICA Presentation
This document analyzes media coverage of Terry Jones and the planned "International Burn a Qur'an Day" event in 2010. It examines how local versus national news outlets and print versus broadcast media framed the intersection of Christianity and Islam. The analysis found that local media framed Jones as distancing himself from Christianity and the local community, portraying local Muslims as victims. National media delegitimized Jones and extremist Christianity. Both local and national media framed the issue as a debate between constitutionality and morality. The document concludes that coverage portrayed Islam as fitting into an "Us vs. Them" dichotomy and that media reporting was influenced by the timing of related news stories.
Portrayals of religious activism and politicisation on British television
This document outlines a study on the portrayal of religious activism and politicization in British television. It discusses how such portrayals contribute to a sense of "moral panic" about the role of certain faiths in public life, especially Islam and Christianity. It analyzes how programs use terminology, imagery, and narratives to present religiously-motivated groups as a threat to mainstream British values through their influence on issues like abortion, LGBTQ rights, and women's rights. The document considers how these portrayals frame such groups as abnormal and otherize them from mainstream British identity and culture.
Television and religious activism etc
This document outlines how British television, particularly documentary and current affairs programs, portrays religiously motivated activism and politics. It discusses how this coverage contributes to a sense of "moral panic" about the role of certain faiths, especially Islam and Christianity, in public life. The document analyzes examples from programs to show how religious groups are othered and portrayed as threats through their depiction as abnormal, politically dangerous, and exploitative of vulnerable groups. It concludes that these representations align certain types of religious politicization with fundamentalism in a way that creates new moral panics.
Ch 10 fundamentals of the new age
This document summarizes the expansion and contraction of religious movements in America from the 1970s onward. It describes the rise of the New Age movement and new forms of spirituality emphasizing personal experience and healing. It also outlines the resurgence of evangelical Christianity and fundamentalism through organizations, media, and engagement in politics. Both religious trends showed expansion through grassroots communities but also contraction into distinct subcultures. The document concludes that patterns of both religious expansion and contraction are normal and interdependent parts of the pluralistic American cultural system.
Politics as a noble calling church history ii lesson 7
This document discusses the rise of self-expression in American culture starting in the 1960s-70s and the religious and political responses to it. It describes how psychology and television led to a focus on personal fulfillment over self-denial. This caused mainstream churches to decline while evangelical churches grew. It also led to the rise of the Religious Right and megachurches catering to personal tastes. The document contrasts traditionalists who saw this as moral decline with liberationists who saw it as freedom, dividing the nation.
Case Study 2
1) A group of 9 Christian university students in Port Moresby debate whether to continue dialoguing with two Mormon missionaries to learn more about their faith and address cultural issues important to locals.
2) The missionaries were able to address questions about ancestry that Christians struggle with from a biblical perspective.
3) The students were unprepared to respond to the missionaries' teachings and argue why Mormonism differs from Christianity, pointing to a need for better discipleship.
Religion and secularism
This document provides an overview of key concepts related to religion and secularism in international relations. It discusses definitions of religion, secularism, and atheism. It examines the historical causes of secularism in Western societies. It also outlines the resurgence of religion globally and challenges of integrating religion into theories of international relations. The document considers the Islamic revival movement and its potential implications for the future development of international relations.
Creationism lecture
The document discusses several key court cases related to teaching creationism and intelligent design in public schools in the United States. It summarizes the Scopes Trial of 1925, Edwards v. Aguillard in 1981 which prevented balanced treatment acts, McLean v. Arkansas in 1987 which established that creationism is not science, and Kitzmiller v. Dover Area School District in 2005 which prevented intelligent design from being taught. It analyzes how the desire to influence education and social discourse has driven the creationism movement to keep challenging separation of church and state through different legal strategies over the decades, despite consistently losing in court.
SociologyExchange.co.uk Shared Resource
This document provides an overview of key perspectives on the sociology of religion including:
1) Functionalism which sees religion as fulfilling important social functions like strengthening social solidarity. Theorists discussed include Durkheim, Malinowski, and Parsons.
2) Criticisms of functionalism note its emphasis only on positive functions and inability to explain religion's origins.
3) Marxism views religion as maintaining capitalist rule and oppressing the working class. Neo-Marxism sees examples where religion encouraged liberation and social change.
4) Postmodernism argues religion has declined due to factors like increased information, consumerism and globalization, though some seek strict fundamentalism in response to change
Project 2 slideshow (2)
The document discusses the history and current state of religion in America. It begins with how religion first emerged among human societies and then formally in America in the 1600s as colonists arrived seeking religious freedom. Today, around 77% of Americans identify as Christian and religion remains an important part of life and society for many, though over 16% do not affiliate with any religion. The document also examines functionalist and conflict perspectives on the role and influence of religion.

Memory Theory, Politics and Identity- An Examination of Mormon Polygamy
This document provides background information on Lauren V. Steinman's examination of Mormon polygamy through analyzing the 1878 US Supreme Court case Reynolds v. United States. The document discusses how Mormonism originated plural marriage based on biblical examples, though it was outlawed. It introduces how memory theory will be used to analyze how Reynolds appealed to Mormon scripture and history to justify his polygamous lifestyle, showing tension between religious and secular legal views of polygamy. The document provides context on biblical polygamy, Mormon founder Joseph Smith, the religious doctrine allowing plural marriage, and the First Amendment right to religious freedom.
Media general notes
The document discusses religious attitudes towards media and technology. It begins by defining media and explaining why religion is connected to media given its influence. It then examines three types of messages in media that concern religions: 1) behavioral norms around portrayals of religion and sexuality, 2) specific issues like blasphemy and child protection, and 3) positive opportunities like proselytism. Christianity and Islam are used as examples when discussing these types of messages. The document aims to understand religious perspectives on modern media.
Dominant U.S. Religions and the Growing Ethics-Based Environmental Movement
This document discusses the changing relationship between religion and environmentalism in dominant U.S. religions over the 20th century. It describes how religion gradually shifted from governing all institutions to becoming one institution among many as science grew in influence. More recently, religious institutions have adapted to stay relevant by integrating environmental ethics. Major religious leaders speaking out on environmental issues, like several Popes, has helped shift public attitudes and support for environmental causes within religious communities in the U.S.
Religion In a Global Context- Slideshow.
This document discusses religion in a global context and covers three learning objectives:
1) The role of religion in economic development.
2) Explanations of religious fundamentalism.
3) The role of religion in international conflict.
It analyzes theories of religious fundamentalism in response to globalization from scholars like Giddens, Bauman, and Castells. Fundamentalism is contrasted with cosmopolitanism. Examples of religion providing cultural defense in Poland and Iran are discussed. The document also considers Huntington's theory of a clash of civilizations and criticisms of this perspective. Finally, it explores the relationship between religion and economic development in India in the context of globalization.
Lecture 4 religion & terrorism
1. The document discusses the relationship between religion and terrorism, examining how religiously motivated terrorist groups use sacred texts and beliefs to justify violence.
2. It explores various causes of religious terrorism, such as crises in their environment and a desire to establish religious rule.
3. Religious terrorism is distinguished from secular terrorism by its extreme brutality and seemingly irrational goals like destroying the world to create a new one or establishing a theocracy through violence.
Lecture 4 religion & terrorism
1. The document discusses the relationship between religion and terrorism, examining how religiously motivated terrorist groups use sacred texts and beliefs to justify violence.
2. It explores various types of religious terrorism including apocalyptic terrorism aimed at fomenting the end of the world, and terrorism seeking to create a religious government or cleanse a region of non-believers.
3. Religious terrorism is argued to be uniquely motivated by extreme beliefs in divine duty and salvation through violence, making negotiations more difficult compared to secular terrorism.

Core Values
Excellence
No name University is an educational enterprise. All of us, individually and collectively, work hard to ensure that our students develop the character, learn the skills, and assimilate the knowledge essential to become morally responsible leaders. The success of our University depends upon a conscientious commitment to our mission, vision, and goals.
Community
No name University develops hospitable Christian learning communities everywhere we serve. We foster a spirit of belonging, unity, and interdependence based on mutual trust and respect to create socially responsible environments that challenge all of us to listen, to learn, to change, and to serve.
Respect
Animated in the spirit of Jesus Christ, we value all individuals’ unique talents, respect their dignity, and strive to foster their commitment to excellence in our work. Our community’s strength depends on the unity and diversity of our people, on the free exchange of ideas, and on learning, living, and working harmoniously.
Personal Development
No name University stresses the development of every person’s mind, spirit, and body for a balanced life. All members of the No name University community must demonstrate their commitment to personal development to help strengthen the character of our community.
Responsible Stewardship
Our Creator blesses us with an abundance of resources. We foster a spirit of service to employ our resources for University and community development. We must be resourceful. We must optimize and apply all of the resources of our community to fulfill no name University’s mission and goals.
Integrity
The commitment of no name University to excellence demands that its members live its mission and deliver on its promise. The faculty, staff, and students pledge to be honest, just, and consistent in word and deed.
SuMMARIZING THE OPTIONS
There was a time when it seemed that religion might just dis-
appear. Throughout the modern period secularism continued
to grow. It appeared that the religions of humankind would be
superseded by science and left behind as historical artifacts, like
Egyptian temples, the Greek gods, and many Christian churches
in Northern Europe today. Certainly the hope of a world with-
out religion continues to motivate some thinkers. Richard Daw-
kins’ ‘Beyond Belief ’ movement and advertising campaigns in
Britain and Canada have precisely this outcome as their goal.
And yet at present the outcome they strive for appears unlikely.
If anything, there has been a resurgence of religious commitment
in many cultures. Any decline in religion in Europe and North
America has been more than compensated for by the rapid
growth of Pentecostal and charismatic movements in churches
around the world. Even non-religious thinkers, such as Jürgen
Habermas, one of Germany’s leading philosophers, now speak
of moving – contrary to their and others’ expectations – into a
‘post-secular society.’1
Religion, then, it appears, is.

It's Election Year - So What?!
This document discusses declining voter turnout in New Zealand elections, particularly among young people, Māori, and recent migrants. It analyzes reasons for lower participation, including lack of efficacy (belief that voting can make a difference), lack of habit or social norms around voting, and lack of interest or knowledge about the political system. The document proposes approaches to increase turnout through programs targeting underrepresented groups, education resources, and community initiatives to build efficacy and establish voting as a social norm and habit.

Participatory Budgeting & Public Finance Planning in New Zealand
This document discusses public finance planning in New Zealand local government. It provides an overview of the local government structure, the legislative environment governing public finance, and the planning and reporting cycles used. It also examines trends in public participation, noting it has traditionally involved older, wealthier residents. The document argues opportunities exist to improve public participation, such as by formalizing local government commitments to empowering citizens and establishing funds to allocate portions of budgets to specific community groups.
Rod Oram - Sustainable Dunedin March 2013
Rod Oram presented on New Zealand's economic challenges and opportunities for sustainability. He argued that New Zealand suffers from slow economic growth ("slowth") and needs to develop business strategies to build capacity and value to increase wages and living standards. While the government aims to double the size of the economy in 15 years, the current commodity-focused primary sector model will not support that level of growth. Oram also emphasized the need to reinvent urban communities and economies to make them more sustainable and reinvigorated for the 21st century. Facing resource constraints and a responsibility to sustain its land and oceans, New Zealand must develop new values and systems of collaboration.
RMA Changes Workshop
The document summarizes proposed reforms to New Zealand's resource management system that are aimed at streamlining processes and increasing economic growth. Key concerns with the proposals include undermining environmental protections, reducing local democracy through increased centralization of power, and a lack of proper community consultation. Specific changes discussed include weakening environmental principles, limiting appeals rights and public participation, and granting more centralized control over planning and consenting.
Climate Campaigning
This document discusses issues related to deep sea oil drilling including:
1) It outlines several technical challenges of drilling in deep and isolated offshore environments such as high pressures, temperatures, poor well design, and failure of blowout preventers.
2) Relief well drilling is needed to stop a blowout but requires multiple rigs. Deep sea rigs in New Zealand would be isolated from infrastructure.
3) The Deepwater Horizon disaster cost $37 billion and highlighted the lack of an international oil spill liability treaty and potential economic impacts to fishing and tourism industries from a spill.

7 Lessons to my 20 year old self.
Presentation delivered to Powershift NZ/Pacific, 7 December 2012
GOOD STUFF TO SUSTAIN GOOD STUFF
1. Good causes
Be discerning on what you put your energy into.
Specialise in something.
East Timor was my entry into activism.
2. Good context
Focus energy and action on situations where there is a real opportunity for change – topical issues, where you have something unique to contribute and there is a decision to be made by the public, business or politicians.
Saving the rail.
3. Good alternatives
Authentic alternatives are always hard to find.
My parents place.
4. Good info& analysis
Don’t rush into:
- assuming the worst
- sharing sensitive information
- making claims that can’t be substantiated with robust evidence.
Pulling off effective actions can sometimes be luck but more often takes much planning.
5. Good communication
Don’t preach to the converted,
Find out what the skeptical, ignorant and apathetic care about and address that stuff creatively
Waihopai was relatively successful, because it was well planned and communicated.
6. Good attitude
Stay humble, don’t sweat the small stuff, anger is a gift, use it wisely.
Having courage is important, having patience and grace even more so.
7. Good friends & good times
PowerShift is a great example of friends doing amazing things together.
Find a few key people you can trust to both support and challenge you.
Have fun!
8 reasons to lock the gate
This document lists 8 reasons for locking the gate to one's property to prevent oil and gas companies from drilling or engaging in extraction activities: 1) To avoid unacceptable noise, light and traffic that could occur 24/7. 2) To protect the health of one's family and livestock from potential risks. 3) To safeguard one's groundwater supply from adverse effects. 4) To prevent a reduction in one's property value. 5) To maintain control over day-to-day property management. 6) To preserve one's community and social wellbeing. 7) To avoid potential regrets about not supporting clean, sustainable energy. It advises not negotiating or signing anything with oil/gas companies and seeking legal advice.
Parihaka presentation
Parihaka was a Maori village in Taranaki, New Zealand that was the center of non-violent resistance to the confiscation of Maori land by the New Zealand government in the late 19th century. It was led by Te Whiti-o-Rongomai and Tohu Kākahi who advocated peaceful resistance to government surveying and land seizures. In 1881, over 1,500 armed constabulary troops invaded Parihaka, arrested Te Whiti and Tohu, imprisoned Parihaka residents, and destroyed the village. However, Parihaka was later rebuilt and continued its peaceful resistance under the leadership of Te Whiti and Tohu until their

Who killed the electric car?
The document discusses the history of electric vehicles and how they were produced but then destroyed to protect oil industry profits. It describes some early electric vehicles like the GM EV1 and Nissan Hypermini that showed promise but were taken back and dismantled by the automakers. Alternative fuel vehicles like hydrogen and water-powered cars are also mentioned but have not been widely adopted, likely due to oil industry lobbying against promoting alternatives to gasoline. The document calls people to spread awareness of these issues and to demand electric or alternative fuel vehicles from automakers.

It seems that current missionary work requires spending a lot of money, preparing a lot of materials, and traveling to far away places, so that it feels like missionary work. But what was the result they brought back? It's just a lot of photos of activities, fun eating, drinking and some playing games. And then we have to do the same thing next year, never ending. The church once mentioned that a certain missionary would go to the field where she used to work before the end of his life. It seemed that if she had not gone, no one would be willing to go. The reason why these missionary work is so difficult is that no one obeys God’s words, and the Bible is not the main content during missionary work, because in the eyes of those who do not obey God’s words, the Bible is just words and cannot be connected with life, so Reading out God's words is boring because it doesn't have any life experience, so it cannot be connected with human life. I will give a few examples in the hope that this situation can be changed. A375
