Congregational Communion
Author: Francis J. Bremer
Publisher: UPNE
ISBN: 9781555531867
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 686
Book Description
Puritan studies is one of the most heavily researched areas of scholarship in both England and the United States. In this in-depth exploration of the relationship between Puritans in England and New England, Francis J. Bremer challenges the view that the colonists turned away from English Puritans in the 1640s. Rather, he convincingly demonstrates that the two communities retained a complex, symbiotic connection - a communion - throughout the seventeenth century, and that the clergy on both sides of the Atlantic saw themselves as closely linked in their spiritual mission. Focusing on the interaction between social experience and the shaping of belief, Bremer thoroughly analyzes how Puritan clergymen of a congregational persuasion came together in a godly communion and examines how that communion sustained them in times of trouble and physical dispersal. He explains the social forces that led to the articulation of early Congregationalism and details the significance of trans-Atlantic religious exchanges through correspondence, associations, publications, and other devices. Bremer traces the first-generation Puritans from their formative years at Cambridge University through the creation of a network of clerical friendships, through the flight to Holland and to New England, to the death of Oliver Cromwell and the beginnings of division within Congregationalism. This thought-provoking volume makes a solid contribution to Puritan studies and offers a basis for further discussions of the trans-Atlantic aspects of the Congregational community.

The Sons of St. George
Author: Peter Langford
Publisher: Createspace Independent Publishing Platform
ISBN: 9781548896638
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 520
Book Description
This book tells the intriguing history of a little-known secret society, known as the Order of the Sons of St. George - a fraternal organisation - whose members have helped shape what is widely recognised today as the Anglo-American 'Special Relationship'. It was founded by English migrants in the United States during the year 1870 - initially as a self-defence league - to protect Englishmen and their families from the murderous outrages of an Irish criminal gang known as the Molly Maguires. The order was later credited with having helped defeat the terrorist band, after which it quickly expanded, establishing a network of lodges amongst the English diaspora throughout North America. The brotherhood soon turned into a cultural organisation, with the object of celebrating and preserving the Anglo-Protestant identity of its members. It also became a benevolent society, with an insurance programme for the benefit and welfare of its members and their families. At its peak it boasted more than 500 lodges, and around 45,000 members, which included not only thousands of working men, but city mayors, councillors, police chiefs, newspaper editors, state senators, British consular and embassy staff, and also members of Britain's secret intelligence agencies. Throughout the one-hundred year history of this mysterious order, its members have involved themselves in numerous - sometimes clandestine - activities, with a view to strengthen the ties of friendship between Great Britain and the Untied States. Some have accused the society of being part of a broader political conspiracy, which ultimately led to the United States entering both World Wars on the side of the British. This fascinating expos� brings to light the activities of this secretive society, and explores the impact that its members have had on Anglo-American bilateral diplomacy, and consequently, global geopolitical events. In the modern-age, many English people feel they have lost their national identity and culture. This book shows that in the recent-past, the English had very strong sense of their own unique Anglo-Protestant identity. Englishmen who migrated to the United States formed the Sons of St. George as a means to celebrate and preserve this national-identity.

Anglo-American Relations
Author: Alan Dobson
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1136164146
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 322
Book Description
This book provides an examination of contemporary Anglo-American relations. Sometimes controversially referred to as the Special Relationship, Anglo-American relations constitute arguably the most important bilateral relationship of modern times. However, in recent years, there have been frequent pronouncements that this relationship has lost its ‘specialness’. This volume brings together experts from Britain, Europe and North America in a long-overdue examination of contemporary Anglo-American relations that paints a somewhat different picture. The discussion ranges widely, from an analysis of the special relationship of culture and friendship, to an examination of both traditional (e.g. nuclear relations) and more recent (e.g. environment) policies. Contemporary developments are discussed in the context of longer-term trends and contributing authors draw upon a range of different disciplines, including political science, diplomacy studies, business studies and economics. Coupled with a substantive introduction and conclusion, the result is an insightful and engaging portrayal of the complex Anglo-American relationship. The book will be of great interest to students of US and UK foreign policy, diplomacy and international relations in general.

The fascinating and lavishly illustrated history of the Pilgrims, a remarkable trans-Atlantic society that has fostered good relations between the UK and the USA for 100 years The Pilgrims Society of Great Britain was founded in 1902 to promote 'good-will, good-fellowship, abiding friendship, and everlasting peace between the United States and Great Britain'.

Culture matters
Author: Robert Hendershot
Publisher: Manchester University Press
ISBN: 1526151413
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 440
Book Description
This book examines how intangible aspects of international relations – including identity, memory, representation, and symbolic perception – have helped to shape the development and contribute to the endurance of the Anglo-American special relationship. Challenging traditional interpretations of US-UK relations and breaking new ground with fresh analyses of cultural symbols, discourses, and ideologies, this volume fills important gaps in our collective understanding of the special relationship’s operation and exposes new analytical spaces in which we can re-evaluate its strengths and weaknesses. Designed to breathe new life into old debates about the relationship’s purported specialness, this book offers a multidisciplinary exploration of literary representations, screen representations, political representations, representations in memory, and the influence of cultural connections and constructs which have historically animated Anglo-American interaction.
