This book is a work of political archaeology. It focuses on the people and events at a particular colonial farm in Germantown, Pennsylvania; their stories provide a micro and macro view of economic, social, demographic, and agro-ecological change. Cresheim Farm shows how one mostly unknown but strategically placed piece of land—home to an extraordinary array of people, including early anti-slavery and anti-Nazi activists, the first woman editor of the Saturday Evening Post and a robber baron—can tell, affect and reflect the history of a nation. The writing is historically grounded and academic, future-oriented, deeply researched, and immediate. Cresheim Farm serves as a lens through which to observe and understand social forces, such as the launching point of freedom and democracy movements, white privilege, slavery, and genocidal westward expansion. The past lives on in all of us.

Excerpt from Christian Fellowship, or the Church Member's Guide During the few past years, God has gra ciously poured out his Holy Spirit upon various regions of our country. Zion has broken forth on the right hand and upon the left, 'and has received a vast accession of converts from those whoiwere once aliens from the commonwealth of Israel. The church has gazed upon her new-born children with delight, and inquired, As for these, whence did they come? They are recruits from the world, they are deserters from the army of the prince of the powers of darkness, they have sworn allegiance to another Sovereign, one Jesus. They have identified themselves with his cause, they are the subjects of his kingdom, they have become strangers upon the earth, that they may be citizens in heaven, and they seek that better country.

Excerpt from Christian Fellowship in Thought and Prayer This book on Fellowship is of such high value that I trust it will be widely read by clergy and laity. It is not a book which can be mastered at a single reading; it demands study. It is as fine a bit of practical mysticism as has come to myxattention for some years. The fellowship which it advocates is not of' an easy - going sort. It requires a hallow ing of the wholenature. The beauty of it is that there is no mission however humble, no parish how ever struggling that cannot find in this beautifully Christian program new inspiration and power. These are days for promoting and developing uni ties. This little book is an aid to that end. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This Book unveils many unanswered questions in our life such as – Why do people die when God had created them to live forever on this earth? We never teach children to do bad things, but why are they naturally inclined towards displaying bad behavior as they grow up. These are a few of the outcomes of the inherited SINFUL NATURE within every human being born into this world. Why is the ritual of animal sacrifice practiced in all religions except Christianity? This is because when sin entered into the world, it entered through the blood of mankind. This means the blood is the seat of life, no blood no life. As this sinful nature passes down from generation to generation through the blood of the father, every human being, therefore, inherits this disease of sinful nature. So the only HOPE to be delivered forever from this sinful nature is by simply believing in the cleansing power of the sinless blood of Jesus Christ who sacrificed Himself on the Cross about 2000 years ago, and also by maintaining an intimate relationship and fellowship with God under the guidance of the Holy Spirit.

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1859 edition. Excerpt: ... CHAPTER VII. DUTIES OF CHURCH MEMBERS TOWABDS EACH OTHER. I. The first, and that which indeed seems to include every other, is Love. . This is enforced by our Lord as the identifying law of his kingdom.--John xv, 12. Jesus Christ was an incarnation of love in our world. He was love, living, breathing, speaking, acting, amongst men. "His birth was the nativity of love, his sermons the words of love, his miracles the wonders of love, his tears the meltings of love, his crucifixion the agonies of love, his resurrection the triumph of love." He has made his love to us, not only the motive, but the pattern, of our love to each other. "This is my commandment, that ye love one another as I have loved you." Sis love was real and great: free, disinterested, and fruitful: it was eternal and unchangeable; a love of forbearance and forgiveness, and a purely spiritual flame. These were the characteristics of his love, and should therefore be of ours. Love is the basis, cement, and beauty of the christian union, and in the best and purest ages of the church, it shone so brightly in the character of its members, and was expressed in actions so replete with noble, disinterested, and heroic affection, as to become a proverb with surrounding pagans, and call forth the well known exclamation, "See how these christians love one another!" Brotherly love will operate, 1. In peculiar complacency in our fellow members, viewed as the objects of divine love. Complacency is the very essence of love; and the ground of all proper complacency in the saints is their relation and likeness to God. The love of christians is of a very sacred nature, and is quite peculiar. It is an affection for them primarily for God's sake, and only secondarily for their own. They may...

NATIONAL BESTSELLER “Engrossing...studded with wisdom about long-held bonds.” —People, Book of the Week “Enthralling, masterfully written...rich with social and psychological insights.” —The New York Times Book Review “A magnificent storytelling feat.” —The Boston Globe The “utterly engrossing, sweeping” (Time) story of a lifelong friendship between two very different “superbly depicted” (The Wall Street Journal) women with shared histories, divisive loyalties, hidden sorrows, and eighty years of summers on a pristine point of land on the coast of Maine, set across the arc of the 20th century. Celebrated children’s book author Agnes Lee is determined to secure her legacy—to complete what she knows will be the final volume of her pseudonymously written Franklin Square novels; and even more consuming, to permanently protect the peninsula of majestic coast in Maine known as Fellowship Point. To donate the land to a trust, Agnes must convince shareholders to dissolve a generations-old partnership. And one of those shareholders is her best friend, Polly. Polly Wister has led a different kind of life than Agnes: that of a well-off married woman with children, defined by her devotion to her husband, a philosophy professor with an inflated sense of stature. She strives to create beauty and harmony in her home, in her friendships, and in her family. Polly soon finds her loyalties torn between the wishes of her best friend and the wishes of her three sons—but what is it that Polly wants herself? Agnes’s designs are further muddied when an enterprising young book editor named Maud Silver sets out to convince Agnes to write her memoirs. Agnes’s resistance cannot prevent long-buried memories and secrets from coming to light with far-reaching repercussions for all. “An ambitious and satisfying tale” (The Washington Post), Fellowship Point reads like a 19th-century epic, but it is entirely contemporary in its “reflections on aging, writing, stewardship, legacies, independence, and responsibility. At its heart, Fellowship Point is about caring for the places and people we love...This magnificent novel affirms that change and growth are possible at any age” (The Christian Science Monitor).

On February 5, 2000, the Institute of Mennonite Studies held a conference at Associated Mennonite Biblical Seminary entitled "Without Spot or Wrinkle: Reflecting Theologically on the Nature of the Church." This conference gave attention to ecclesiology, in direct response to challenges that Mennonite church bodies in Canada and the United States have been facing in recent times. The phrase "without spot or wrinkle" comes from Ephesians 5:27, a text addressing relationships between husbands and wives within the Christian household. Historically it has also come to symbolize what Mennonites have sometimes believed about the nature of the church. Anabaptists, and Mennonites who came after them, have often maintained that the true church is a gathering of reborn and spiritually regenerated Christians called to be a community free from moral failure. At present, however, some Mennonites are questioning elements of this conceptual legacy, and, in light of personal failings and hurtful church schisms, are expressing doubts about its practical adequacy and theological tenability. The essays in this book do not provide a unified argument. What the authors have in common is concern for the church and commitment to faithfulness. Readers are invited to reflect on the issues and make their own assessments.
