Brazil's Charismatic Catholic and Pentecostal populationmila veilleux
This document provides an overview of the history and growth of Pentecostalism and Catholic Charismatic Renewal in Brazil from the early 20th century to present day. It discusses how Catholicism was initially the only officially recognized religion but many also practiced folk religions like Umbanda. Pentecostalism first arrived in Brazil in 1910 and grew rapidly, challenging the Catholic monopoly on religion. A Catholic Charismatic Renewal also emerged in the mid-20th century. By 2010, the percentage of Catholics dropped significantly while Protestants, including Pentecostals and Charismatics, increased substantially.
This document discusses the nature and categorization of biblical law, focusing on whether the Sabbath command is part of the "new covenant" and still binding. It outlines four categories of biblical law: moral, ritual/ceremonial, civil, and health. While these categories can be helpful if defined carefully, assumptions about a law's binding nature can influence its categorization. The document argues that identifying certain laws as "moral" refers to universal principles governing relationships. It notes the Ten Commandments exemplify but are not the only expression of moral law. The ritual/ceremonial laws regulated interaction with God and ritual purity. Many civil laws applied moral principles. Health laws promoted physical and spiritual well-being
We are the Evangelical Christian Church in Canada (Christian Disciples). As a mainstream, nondenominational evangelical movement in North America, it traces its historical roots to the formal organization of the Christian Church in 1804 in Bourbon County, Kentucky, U.S.A., under the branch of the Evangelical Christian Church (Christian Disciples). The denomination in the United States was influenced by the leadership of Barton Warren Stone (1772-1844), a former Presbyterian minister. This group reformed their beliefs regarding Christian unity in the church during the Second Great Awakening of the early 19th century.
This is a presentation about the Hispanic history in the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ). It shows how they started, how they are organized, the purpose of the Central Pastoral Office, and some photos.
The Watkinson Family has been involved in evangelism in Mexico since the 1950s. Led by Philip Watkinson, they seek to plant churches and disciple believers across Baja California. Their mission is challenging as religious diversity in Ensenada exposes believers to many denominations and sects. The Watkinson Family continues preaching and teaching with the help of Philip's wife Miriam, though they require additional support in the form of volunteers, donations, and prayer to sustain and expand their ministry.
The Federal Council of Churches saw its budget and influence grow substantially in 1914 when Andrew Carnegie endowed the Church Peace Union with $2 million. This gave the controlling group of the Federal Council an annual income that allowed it to expand the budget for itself and affiliated organizations to millions. While some affiliated groups took more radical stances, the funding from Carnegie enabled the Federal Council to expand its activities beyond its original purpose of advising churches.

1) The document discusses how religion shapes and is shaped by society in the Philippines. It explores how Catholic imagery and practices have roots in pre-colonial traditions and indicate social hierarchies.
2) It argues that religious categories used to describe groups like Muslims in Mindanao blur ethnic and social realities and hinder government efforts. Religions take different forms depending on historical and social contexts in pluralistic societies.
3) The document examines the Church's capacity to transform society given political events and the fact that many Catholics do not follow Church leadership and millions live in poverty, revealing the Church's need to better address social concerns and articulate constructive reforms.
The document discusses anti-immigrant sentiment in the US, focusing on differences between Protestant and Catholic traditions and their influence on democracy. It notes that Mexican Catholicism has different approaches to government, freedom of thought, and relations with others compared to European Protestantism. The Puritans valued exclusivity over assimilation, which led to segregating or exterminating native populations rather than converting them. Over time, these religious differences in traditions of deliberation and discussion had effects on the development of democratic institutions and intellectual freedom.

The document discusses the British Ministry of Defence's secret mission after 9/11 to use psychic remote viewing to locate Osama bin Laden. It describes how 12 psychics were recruited to go into a trance-like state to envision details of where bin Laden was hiding. The document also discusses historical experiments with remote viewing conducted by the CIA and an experiment done by astronaut Edgar Mitchell with telepathy while in outer space. Finally, it provides an example of a dream someone reported having before 9/11 that seemed to predict the attacks.
Rural America is in the midst of unprecedented economic, cultural, and ecological change. These dynamics demand both new strategies for engagement and a reappraisal of what outcomes are most meaningful to an individual community. This panel incorporates a diversity of leadership approaches, each of which fluently incorporates many sectors and disciplines in its approach, while also reflecting holistic and multi-generational emphasis in its change agency.

Religion and the adaptation of Catholic and Jewish minorities in the U.S.A., ...Marie Klein
The document discusses the adaptation of Catholic and Jewish minorities in the U.S. between 1840-1960. It focuses on how these two religious groups integrated into American society while maintaining their religious identities in the face of nativism and discrimination. The Irish Catholic immigrants faced significant hostility as the first large non-Protestant group, but overcame this by building strong religious communities. They set a precedent for how later immigrant groups could both adopt American values and culture while keeping their own traditions.
FINAL - Cloninger_Outsourcing Ministry to and with the PoorErin Cloninger
This document discusses how modern American Methodism has increasingly viewed ministry to and with the poor as a specialized task rather than a mission for all Christians. It examines three groups from the early-mid 20th century that served the poor on behalf of Methodists - deaconesses, the Women's Division, and the Methodist Federation for Social Service. While these groups engaged in important work, the document argues that outsourcing concern for the poor to specialized groups fails to embody John Wesley's vision that caring for the poor is essential to the holistic discipleship of all Methodists. It examines Wesley's commitment to practices like communal living, visiting the poor, social justice advocacy, and evangelical economics that the United Methodist
The Millerites utilized periodical literature and camp meetings to spread their message of Christ's imminent return. Joshua V. Himes played a key role in establishing the Signs of the Times newspaper in 1840 to publicize William Miller's teachings. Camp meetings began in 1842, with the large East Kingston meeting attracting around 7,000-10,000 people. These meetings featured preaching, singing, and resolutions affirming the 1843 date for Christ's return. The Millerites also constructed large tents and buildings like the Boston Tabernacle to accommodate increasing crowds.
The Second Great Awakening led to increased evangelicalism and denominationalism in the early 19th century. Revivalists like Charles Finney promoted the idea that humans could actively cause religious revivals through new measures. This led to the rise of new Protestant denominations and divisions between those who accepted or rejected revivalism. By the late 19th century, conservative Protestantism sought to strictly defend traditional doctrines, while the emerging Pentecostal movement emphasized faith healing and a premillennial theology.
The document discusses the spread of Christianity in early America. It notes that the earliest settlers brought the religions of their home nations like Anglicanism. The Pilgrim Fathers established the Plymouth colony as Congregationalist Puritans seeking religious freedom. The Great Awakening of the 1730s-1750s saw influential preachers like Jonathan Edwards and George Whitefield preach to vast crowds and spark revivals across the colonies. Figures like Roger Williams established separation of church and state, allowing religious diversity and freedom to grow.

The Texas insurrection occurred due to underlying political, economic, and social factors between Mexican settlers, Tejanos, Anglo immigrants, and the Mexican government. Anglo settlers in Texas wanted more autonomy from the distant and weak Mexican government, while the Tejanos and Mexicans wished to maintain ties to Mexico. Leaders like Santa Ana shifted Mexico between various forms of centralized and decentralized governance. The insurrection ultimately saw Anglo settlers and some Tejanos revolt against Mexican rule in Texas and establish an independent Texas republic with its own economic and political goals separate from Mexico.
The Eschatology of Victory in the Greatest Century of MissionsPeter Hammond
This document discusses the Protestant missionary movement of the 19th century. It describes how Protestant Christianity expanded from being concentrated in Europe and North America to becoming a worldwide religion by the end of the 1800s. The missionary movement was unprecedented in scale, reducing languages to writing, pioneering schools, introducing modern medicine, and ending many social evils. This expansion was driven by an eschatological belief in the coming universal reign of Christ over all nations, inspired by figures like John Calvin and William Carey who helped launch the modern missionary movement through voluntary societies that mobilized resources on a massive scale.
The document provides a historical overview of Mexicanos in the United States from pre-Columbian civilizations through the present day. It covers major periods and events including the Spanish conquest in the 1500s, the Mexican-American War of the 1840s which ceded Mexican territory to the US, waves of Mexican immigration in the early 1900s and again starting in the 1960s, the development of the Chicano movement in the 1960s-70s advocating for civil rights, and recent debates around immigration and the growing influence of Mexican culture in the US. The document traces the integration and adaptation of Mexican culture over time as the population increased and dispersed throughout the US.
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 document summarizes the early colonial history of America. It discusses the various European powers that established colonies, including the English, French, Dutch, Swedes, and Spanish. It then focuses on the Puritan settlers in New England and their religious motivations for establishing the Massachusetts Bay colony. Finally, it explores the political ties that the colonies maintained to Britain as part of the British Empire, which eventually led to tensions and the American Revolution.

THE IMPENDING CRISIS
· LOOKING WESTWARD
· EXPANSION AND WAR
· THE SECTIONAL DEBATE
· THE CRISES OF THE 1850s
LOOKING AHEAD
1. How did the annexation of western territories intensify the conflict over slavery and lead to deeper divisions between the North and the South?
2. What compromises attempted to resolve the conflicts over the expansion of slavery into new territories? To what degree were these compromises successful? Why did they eventually fail to resolve the differences between the North and the South?
3. What were the major arguments for and against slavery and its expansion into new territories?
UNTIL THE 1840s, POLITICAL TENSIONS between the North and the South remained relatively contained and, other than African American writers and clerics, few predicted that sectional tensions could ever lead the country into a civil war.
But midcentury brought a rash of explosive issues that politicians struggled—and ultimately failed—to resolve peacefully. In the North the abolitionist movement picked up steam and inspired legions of supporters, the most aggressive of whom sought to fight slavery with the sword as well as the pen. The South birthed a generation of militant pro-slavery spokesmen who brooked no compromise over a state’s right to embrace slavery and the society based on it. From the West emerged raging controversies over the political fate of the territories and whether they would enter the Union as either slave or free states. Partisans recruited sympathizers from across the nation and even took up arms to win their point.LOOKING WESTWARD
More than a million square miles of new territory came under the control of the United States during the 1840s. By the end of the decade, the nation possessed all the territory of the present-day United States except Alaska, Hawaii, and a few relatively small areas acquired later through border adjustments. Many factors accounted for this great new wave of expansion, but one of the most important was an ideology known as Manifest Destiny.
Manifest Destiny
Manifest Destiny reflected both the growing pride that characterized American nationalism in the mid-nineteenth century and the idealistic vision of social perfection that fueled so much of the reform energy of the time. It rested on the idea that America was destined—by God and by history—to expand its boundaries over a vast area.
By the 1840s, publicized by the rise of inexpensive newspapers dubbed “penny press,” the idea of Manifest Destiny had spread throughout the nation. Some advocates of Manifest Destiny envisioned a vast new “empire of liberty” that would include Canada, Mexico, Caribbean and Pacific islands, and ultimately (for the most ardent believers) much of the rest of the world. Countering such bombast were politicians such as Henry Clay and others, who warned that territorial expansion would reopen the painful controversy over slavery. Their voices, however, could not compete with the enthusiasm over expansion in the 18 ...
The implementation of public education in the early-mid 1800s varied significantly based on race, gender and immigrant status:
- Access to education was most limited for black Americans, both enslaved and free. Many Southern states prohibited the education of slaves while access was also limited for free black children.
- Opportunities for girls' education were expanding but still limited compared to boys as many were pulled from school earlier to help at home. Literacy rates remained lower for women.
- Immigrant children, especially those whose first language wasn't English, often faced barriers to education from nativist attitudes. Resources and support varied significantly between urban immigrant communities.
- Reforms led by Horace Mann expanded access but schooling remained

2011 AP US PP - Religious Movements 1800 - 1850 jbstubb77
The Second Great Awakening was a religious revival movement in the United States from 1800-1850. It began as a reaction against liberalism and spread rapidly across the country through camp meetings and preachers like Peter Cartwright and Charles Finney. Membership increased most in Baptist and Methodist churches, which stressed personal conversion and emotionalism. The revival encouraged evangelicalism and resulted in reforms like prison reform and the abolition movement. It also contributed to the growth of new denominations and the split between northern and southern churches, especially over the issue of slavery.
The document discusses Westward expansion and Manifest Destiny in the United States during the 19th century. It provides background on the various motivations for expansion, including the search for natural resources and farmland, as well as the belief that it was America's destiny to expand across the continent. It also examines the routes taken by settlers moving West, such as the Oregon and Santa Fe Trails, and some of the hardships faced along the way.
Religion during American Occupation and The Great Schism in the Catholic ChurchAys Archival
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.
The document summarizes United Methodism's legacy of embracing diversity and welcoming strangers. It discusses how John Wesley and early Methodists ministered to all people, regardless of differences, based on biblical passages. It provides examples of how Methodists established institutions like schools, hospitals, and orphanages that welcomed strangers. While United Methodism has strived to live out its inclusive heritage, the path has not been straightforward, as societies and denominations struggled with exclusiveness at times. The conclusion calls United Methodists to continue welcoming strangers through preaching, teaching, and social outreach guided by their Wesleyan values.

After retiring from football, Pittsburgh Steelers center Mike Webster suffered from severe health problems including dementia, memory loss, and erratic behavior. An autopsy after his death revealed he had chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE), caused by repetitive brain injuries from his football career. Dozens of other deceased NFL players have also been found to have CTE. Thousands of former players are now suffering from symptoms of CTE and other concussion-related disorders, and have sued the NFL for deliberately misleading players about the long term effects of concussions.

“Making Good Citizens
Out of the Mexicans”
MOTIVATIONS FOR PROTESTANT MISSION
WORK AMONG MEXICAN AMERICANS
We hold the key to Mexico’s evangelization and to the re-
demption of the whole Southwestern frontier of the United
States . . . [because] Methodism appears first on the field
in most of this territory.
Texas Christian Advocate (1885)
The work of educating these people in the knowledge of
Christ Jesus is a great work. The Spanish speaking people
know more about saints and images than they know about
Christ. Nothing but the Spirit of God can lead them to see
that God is to be worshipped without an image, and that
they can pray to Christ without the aid of a saint.
John Menaul (1891)
[P]atriotism and home missions are inseparably united.
Neither can stand, in the mind of the Christian citizen,
without the other.
Sherman H. Doyle (1905)

4. THE PREVIOUS CHAPTER DESCRIBED THE “PROBLEM” AS PERCEIVED
by American Protestant mission agencies: Mexican Catholics
had been accepted as U.S. citizens and these people were not fit
for the privilege. This situation served, in turn, as the chief mo-
tivator for Protestant mission work among the Mexicans of the
Southwest. The Mexican population needed to hear the Protes-
tant message to be freed from Catholicism. Closely tied to this
message was Anglo American culture, perceived by Protestant
leaders to be the logical result of living out the Protestant mes-
sage. To preach a Protestant understanding of the gospel was
also to promote the best of Anglo American cultural, social, po-
litical, and economic values. Both theological and cultural un-
derstandings of Anglo American Protestantism motivated mis-
sionaries to evangelize Mexican American Catholics.
Doubts about Evangelizing Mexican Americans
The rhetoric used to justify the conquest of the Southwest did
not translate into a strong missionary enterprise, however.
Many Protestants questioned whether there should even be a
missionary effort among the Mexican American population.
Many home missions leaders were convinced that mission agen-
cies should focus their energies on the Anglo American immi-
grants entering the newly conquered Southwest. When Melinda
Rankin visited churches in the eastern United States to raise
funds for her missionary efforts in Texas, she found that many
Protestant leaders and members were not interested in reaching
the Mexican American population. She reported that “the prej-
udices existing against the Mexicans, engendered during the
late war, often proved great barriers to my success.” One Pres-
byterian leader told her that “the Mexicans were a people just
fit to be exterminated from the earth.” Another person, a Pres-
byterian minister, even stated, “We had better send bullets and
gunpowder to Mexico than Bibles.”1

5. titution of its own people, Spanish-speaking and otherwise. But
the missionaries were also necessary because Providence had
pointed out “Texas as an agent to operate upon the Papal
power in Mexico.”23
The relationship between reaching tejanos in southwest
Texas and the evangelization of Mexico was also an important
consideration for the Blanco Baptist Association. They recog-
nized the importance of reaching the Mexican Americans of
their area because it “would be an important step toward evan-
gelizing the border states of Mexico.”24
If there were enough
money to support missionaries there might soon be Baptist
churches among tejanos, which “would honor and advance the
cause of truth even beyond our borders.”25
Presbyterians in Texas viewed their ministry among Mexi-
can Americans in the same light. The first Presbyterian Church
formed in San Antonio in the 1840s transmitted the following
resolution to its Foreign (Mission) Board:
Whereas the town of San Antonio, in Western Texas,
contains a population of more than two thousand
Mexicans, and whereas this town carries on consid-
erable trade with Eastern Mexico and affords facili-
ties for distributing Bibles, etc., among that deluded
people, Therefore, Resolved that, should Texas be
transferred to the Domestic Board, that town be rec-
ommended to the Foreign Board to be continued un-
der their care as a suitable station for operating upon
the population there and also for introducing the
gospel into Mexico.26
Walter Scott, called the “Father of Spanish-speaking Presby-
terianism” in Texas, approached ministry among the Spanish-
speaking communities of that state from a similar perspective.
For him, the presbytery of western Texas had “no western
boundary—it can take in the entire republic of Mexico.” Be-
cause of the constant comings and goings of Mexicans across
the international border, evangelizing both tejanos and Mexi-

6. From 1887 to 1892 the San Marcos congregation, with
sixty-seven members, was the only existing Spanish-language
PCUS church in central Texas. After Scott’s ordination to min-
istry, new churches were organized in Martindale and Uvalde in
1893. Scott was the official pastor of all three congregations be-
cause he was the only ordained pastor, and all organized PCUS
churches had to have an ordained minister as titular pastor.
Nonetheless, Scott had valuable assistance: Juan Hernández,
originally licensed to work with the San Marcos congregation,
served in Uvalde, and Julio Avila was licensed to serve in Mar-
tindale.13
In 1896 new congregations were also organized in
Corpus Christi and Laredo. The Presbytery assigned Hernández
to Laredo, and Scott continued as the principal worker in the
Central Texas congregations. Henry Pratt, former missionary to
Colombia, joined the work in Laredo in 1896.14
Under these
leaders, new congregations were established in Reedville

than in New Mexico from 1894, and by 1900 there were almost
as many Mexican American Protestants in Texas as in New
Mexico. The overwhelming majority (87.9 percent) of all Mex-
ican American Protestants lived in New Mexico and Texas. Col-
orado accounted for 8.3 percent of Mexican American Protes-
tant church members. California and Arizona together had less
than 4 percent of the total (Graph 4).
Mexican American Protestant membership growth was
most consistent in New Mexico. It was not rapid, but it was
steady throughout the nineteenth century.38
Texas, on the other
hand, went through spurts. From 1870 to 1880 the tejano Prot-
estant population boomed, and by 1880 there were twice as
many Spanish-speaking Protestants in Texas as in New Mexico.
But there was little growth during the 1880s in Texas and by
1887 there were, once again, more Mexican American Protes-
tants in New Mexico. From 1888 to 1895 growth was roughly
parallel in both areas. After 1895 it leveled off in New Mexico
while growth continued in Texas, so that by the beginning of
