The Sullivan Heritage: Algernon Sydney Sullivan ? Mary Mildred Sullivan ? George Hammond Sullivan

In May, 1857, Algernon Sydney Sullivan and his wife, Mary Mildred, moved from Cincinnati, Ohio, to New York City to make a fresh start in life. He was 31 and she was 21. They had been married just a year and a half. They had very little money, since he had lost almost all his savings in the recession - then called a panic - that swept over the country the year before. They had virtually no friends or other connections in their new community.The Sullivans spent the rest of their lives in New York. Algernon Sydney became a highly successful lawyer and a much-respected public citizen. He founded the law firm Sullivan and Cromwell, still pre-eminent today. Mary Mildred became a leader in New York society, renowned for her many charitable activities. Although their endeavors helped them establish a lasting home in New York, both had their roots in the South, particularly in Virginia, and they always remained faithful to their Southern heritage. Their son, George Hammond Sullivan, also shared their affection for the South, and he became largely responsible for keeping their memories alive.Thus, when the Algernon Sydney Sullivan Foundation and the Algernon Sydney Sullivan and Mary Mildred Sullivan Awards were established, their primary mission was to support higher education in the South, with special attention to the often neglected region of Appalachia. The Sullivan Foundation now provides financial grants to 31 Southern schools and colleges, and oversees the Sullivan Awards that are offered at 67 such institutions.The biographies in The Sullivan Heritage not only tell the story of the Sullivans against the background of the eventful times in which they lived, but also seek to explain their lasting impact on others. The idealism, personal magnetism, and strength of character of Algernon Sydney and Mary Mildred Sullivan endeared them to those who knew them during their lifetimes and provided the inspiration for the Sullivan Foundation and Sullivan Awards that are their lasting monuments.

A woman with a lust for money and danger... A man with a hunger for risk and adrenaline... Can they con the Sydney underworld and get away with murder? Or will they both end up dumped in a dark alley? No one can be believed. No one can be trusted. Welcome to King's Cross... When Micky DeWitt sails into Sydney, Australia, his only assets are a run down yacht, his wits, and the skills he's picked up as a dedicated career criminal. Shiftless, cynical and dishonest, even with himself, Micky takes a job as a barman in Sydney's seedy red light district of Kings Cross. He's a chameleon, seeing himself as both master criminal and chilled-out world sailor. He wants a life on Easy Street, is driven by the desire to 'get away with it, ' and addicted to the adrenaline rush that comes with that life. Carol Todd is turned on by money and risk-taking. For Carol, there's no such thing as "enough". Being an escort to a few wealthy clients is just a means to an end. A couple of underworld connections help, too. But what she needs for her latest con is a fall guy-someone she can use and lose once she's done with him. And Micky DeWitt looks like the perfect man to fall into her sultry, seductive honey trap. Playing to Micky's twisted sense of chivalry, Carol leads him into a hedonistic free-fall. As Micky's life spins out of control it doesn't take long to graduate from burglary to arson, then accessory to murder. And no matter which way he moves, someone's going to get hurt... or die. What readers are saying: "Suspenseful, pithy, unpredictable, and laced with black humour, Flank Street perfectly captures the mood of Sydney's criminal underworld.""Bloody bold, and brilliant " "The dialogue is short, sharp, and terse, with just the right amount of street talk to make Flank Street a compelling read for fans of hard-boiled crime fiction." "This book is a page-turner for anyone who likes noir thrillers/mysteries."

Anglican Evangelicalism in Sydney 1897 to 1953

pokkari
John McIntosh attempts to describe more accurately and completely the spectrum of Evangelicalism (Anglican) that three successive principals of Moore Theological College appropriated and taught in the period. Each was an outstanding graduate of Oxford, Cambridge, and Dublin, respectively. The study traces the circumstances of their appointment and seeks to define the convictions they held--against the background of challenges and changes to their Christian faith they faced in their day. A close examination of their published and unpublished literary oeuvre clears away misunderstandings and even misrepresentations of their thought and influence. In so doing it explains how it was that those Evangelicals in the diocese who adhered more closely to their Reformation tradition finally prevailed decisively over those who were Protestant but liberal. ""Sydney Diocese occupies a strategic position in the world Anglican communion, and Moore College a uniquely influential role in the diocese. Except for a brief period before 1897, the college was always Evangelical in teaching, but the nature of its Evangelicalism varied over time. By explaining the stance of its three principals during the first half of the twentieth century, John McIntosh illuminates the trajectory of Australian Evangelicalism and global Anglicanism alike."" --David Bebbington, Professor, University of Stirling ""John McIntosh sets the portraits of these three principals of Moore College, Sydney, on a much larger canvas. One comes away not only with a clear understanding of the thought of each, but also with a nuanced account of how they fit into the larger picture of British thought and theology in the rich and pivotal era of the first half of the twentieth century."" --George Marsden, Professor, University of Notre Dame ""This is a valuable specimen, rare in Australia, of the genre of historical theology. It is the fruit of the careful research of a conscientious and proficient theologian. The views of three influential principals of Sydney's Anglican theological college are here inspected with 'a theological eye'. Since theology is Moore College's chief claim to fame, that is the best eye to view it. Yet John McIntosh is the first to make a comprehensive analysis of it or trace the influences on it or of it. He does not assume in advance that he knows what the views of his subjects must have been on the grounds that they were all committed Evangelicals. . . . In these days of the lazy tolerance of subjectivity, McIntosh's approach is as refreshing as it is rigorous."" --Stuart Piggin, Conjoint Associate Professor, Macquarie University ""Moore College in Sydney occupies a central place in the history of both Australian Evangelicalism and global Anglican education. John McIntosh's study uncovers a fascinating and neglected part of the story, from the early twentieth-century, full of theological rivalries and intriguing personalities with competing visions for the Anglican evangelical future."" --Andrew Atherstone, Latimer Research Fellow, Wycliffe Hall, University of Oxford It is an honor to write a pastor's appreciation for this feast of a book--meticulous and comprehensive. John McIntosh is a scholar-pastor-missionary who has traced the graph of theological leadership at Moore College in Sydney over a significant half century (1897-1953).
