Reinventing American Protestantism

Reinventing American Protestantism

Donald E. Miller

University of California Press
1999
pokkari
During the past thirty years the American religious landscape has undergone a dramatic change. More and more churches meet in converted warehouses, many have ministers who've never attended a seminary, and congregations are singing songs whose melodies might be heard in bars or nightclubs. Donald E. Miller's provocative examination of these 'new paradigm churches' - sometimes called megachurches or postdenominational churches shows how they are reinventing the way Christianity is experienced in the United States today. Drawing on over five years of research and hundreds of interviews, Miller explores three of the movements that have created new paradigm churches: Calvary Chapel, Vineyard Christian Fellowship, and Hope Chapel. Together, these groups have over one thousand congregations and are growing rapidly, attracting large numbers of worshipers who have felt alienated from institutional religion. While attempting to reconnect with first-century Christianity, these churches meet in nonreligious structures and use the medium of contemporary twentieth-century America to spread their message through contemporary forms of worship, Christian rock music, and a variety of support and interest groups. In the first book to examine postdenominational churches in depth, Miller argues that these churches are involved in a second Reformation, one that challenges the bureaucracy and rigidity of mainstream Christianity. The religion of the new millennium, says Miller, will connect people to the sacred by reinventing traditional worship and redefining the institutional forms associated with denominational Christian churches. Nothing less than a transformation of religion in the United States may be taking place, and Miller convincingly demonstrates how 'postmodern traditionalists' are at the forefront of this change.

Genocide involves significant death and trauma. Yet the enormous scope of genocide comes into view when one looks at the factors that lead to mass killing, the struggle for survival during genocide, and the ways survivors reconstruct their lives after the violence ends. Over a one hundred day period in 1994, the country of Rwanda saw the genocidal slaughter of at least 800,000 Tutsi at the hands of members of the Hutu majority government. This book is a powerful oral history of the tragedy and its aftermath from the perspective of its survivors. Based on in-depth interviews conducted over the course of fifteen years, the authors take a holistic approach by tracing how victims experienced the horrific events, as well as how they have coped with the aftermath as they struggled to resume their lives. The Rwanda genocide deserves study and documentation not only because of the failure of the Western world to intervene, but also because it raises profound questions about the ways survivors create a new life out of the ashes of all that was destroyed. How do they deal with the all-encompassing traumas of genocide? Is forgiveness possible? And what does the process of rebuilding teach us about genocide, trauma, and human life?

Between 1915 and 1923, over one million Armenians died, victims of a genocidal campaign that is still denied by the Turkish government. Thousands of other Armenians suffered torture, brutality, deportation. Yet their story has received scant attention. Through interviews with a hundred elderly Armenians, Donald and Lorna Miller give the "forgotten genocide" the hearing it deserves. Survivors raise important issues about genocide and about how people cope with traumatic experience. Much here is wrenchingly painful, yet it also speaks to the strength of the human spirit.

Armenia

A remarkable view of how geopolitics affects ordinary people, this book documents, in words and pictures, the lives of Armenians in the last two decades. Based on intimate interviews with three hundred Armenians and featuring Jerry Berndt's superb photographs, it brings together firsthand testimony about the social, economic, and spiritual circumstances of Armenians during the 1980s and 1990s, when the country faced an earthquake, pogroms, and war. At times shocking and deeply emotional, Armenia: Portraits of Survival and Hope is a story of extreme suffering and hardship, a searching look at the fight for independence, and an exceptionally complex portrait of the human spirit. A companion to the Millers' highly acclaimed work Survivors: An Oral History of the Armenian Genocide, which documented the genocide of 1915, this book focuses on four groups of people: survivors of the earthquakes that devastated northwestern Armenia in 1988; refugees from Azerbaijan who fled Baku and Sumgait because of pogroms against them; women, children, and soldiers who were affected by the war in Nagorno-Karabakh; and ordinary citizens who survived several winters without heat because of the blockade against Armenia by Turkey and Azerbaijan. The Millers' narrative situates these accounts contextually and thematically, but the voices of individuals remain paramount. The Millers also describe their personal experiences in repeated research trips, inviting us to look beyond the headlines and think beyond the circumstances of our own lives as they bring contemporary Armenia to life.
Global Pentecostalism

Global Pentecostalism

Donald E. Miller; Tetsunao Yamamori

University of California Press
2007
pokkari
How and why is Christianity's center of gravity shifting to the developing world? To understand this rapidly growing phenomenon, Donald E. Miller and Tetsunao Yamamori spent four years traveling the globe conducting extensive on-the-ground research in twenty different countries in Africa, Asia, Latin America, and Europe. The result is this vividly detailed book and accompanying online material, which together contain the most comprehensive information available on Pentecostalism, the fastest-growing religion in the world. Rich with scenes from everyday life, Miller and Yamamori dispel many stereotypes about this religion as they build a wide-ranging, nuanced portrait of a major new social movement. The online ancillary material features footage of Pentecostal religious worship, testimony, and social activism, and includes interviews with Pentecostal pastors and leaders from around the world.

Despite the masses still lining up to enter mega-churches with warehouse-like architecture, casually dressed clergy, and pop Christian music, the "Post-Boomer" generation-those ranging in age from twenty to forty-is having second thoughts. In this perceptive look at the evolving face of Christianity in contemporary culture, sociologists Richard Flory and Donald E. Miller argue that we are on the verge of another potential revolution in how Christians worship and associate with one another. Just as the formative experiences of Baby Boomers were colored by such things as the war in Vietnam, the 1960s, and a dramatic increase in their opportunities for individual expression, so Post-Boomers have grown up in less structured households with working (often divorced) parents. These childhood experiences leave them craving authentic spiritual experience, rather than entertainment, and also cause them to question institutions. Flory and Miller develop a typology that captures four current approaches to the Christian faith and argue that this generation represents a new religious orientation of "expressive communalism," in which they seek spiritual experience and fulfillment in community and through various expressive forms of spirituality, both private and public.

Hatemonger Lib/E: Stephen Miller, Donald Trump, and the White Nationalist Agenda
"A vital book for understanding the still-unfolding nightmare of nationalism and racism in the 21st century." -Francisco Cantu, author of The Line Becomes a RiverStephen Miller is one of the most influential advisors in the White House. He has crafted Donald Trump's speeches, designed immigration policies that ban Muslims and separate families, and outlasted such Trump stalwarts as Steve Bannon and Jeff Sessions. But he's remained an enigma.Until now. Emmy- and PEN-winning investigative journalist and author Jean Guerrero charts the thirty-four-year-old's astonishing rise to power, drawing from more than one hundred interviews with his family, friends, adversaries and government officials.Radicalized as a teenager, Miller relished provocation at his high school in liberal Santa Monica, California. He clashed with administrators and antagonized dark-skinned classmates with invectives against bilingualism and multiculturalism. At Duke University, he cloaked racist and classist ideas in the language of patriotism and heritage to get them airtime amid controversies. On Capitol Hill, he served Tea Party congresswoman Michele Bachmann and nativist Alabama Senator Jeff Sessions.Recruited to Trump's campaign, Miller met his idol. Having dreamed of Trump's presidency before he even announced his decision to run, Miller became his senior policy advisor and speechwriter. Together, they stoked dystopian fears about the Democrats, "Deep State" and "American Carnage," painting migrants and their supporters as an existential threat to America. Through backroom machinations and sheer force of will, Miller survived dozens of resignations and encouraged Trump's harshest impulses, in conflict with the president's own family. While Trump railed against illegal immigration, Miller crusaded against legal immigration. He targeted refugees, asylum seekers and their children, engineering an ethical crisis for a nation that once saw itself as the conscience of the world. Miller rallied support for this agenda, even as federal judges tried to stop it, by courting the white rage that found violent expression in tragedies from El Paso to Charlottesville.Hatemonger unveils the man driving some of the most divisive confrontations over what it means to be American--and what America will become.
Epilepsy-Zen Memoir: There are no stupid questions about epilepsy Zen and I can answer most through E-Zen meditation, an anthology of copin
There are no stupid questions about epilepsy Zen milepost 1-A Detour From the "Normal Life"Gentlemen, Line Up Your Cars, Start Your Engines, Green Flag, Gun Your Engines, Go The birth of misdiagnosed paranoid schizophrenia, panic attacks, social anxiety, depression, psychiatric issues My first neurologist, Dr. Greyson White, MD said, "I've seen these many times before, when adolescence ends your seizures will stop, ' he lied; when adolescence ends my seizures will stop, that would be 7, maybe 8 years, 7 years seemed like a lifetime and 8 seemed an eternity, so began the mounting frustration exasperation with the medico, the whitecoats-the medical establishment-and later on those damn psych people, in 2001, again in 2003, again in 2013, and yet again in 2019-although, I actually like my psychiatrist in 2019. They slapped a paranoid schizophrenia label on me and I can't shake it off. Even Jamie thinks I'm a schizophrenic that is cool and understandable, there are worse things like suicide rooms and being incarcerated in a psych ward for 5 days, been there, and done that. It just took the right woman, an attractive woman I'll add to make me spin in a 180 and become pro-psychiatry. I believe that my cousin Roberta put it best, they really had me pegged, put Don with a beautiful woman and he'll do almost anything. I'd like to revise that a tad, put Don in a room with a beautiful woman trained to listen and help out if she can and I'll talk about almost anything. But not about my dark writing. There are some things that I write that are dark and I don't understand why I'm writing what I do write. I don't know if that makes any sense to you because I just wrote it and it doesn't make any sense to me. There is a lot of cynicism in regards to psychiatry and I was the most cynical of the bunch; just how the H is talking to someone supposed to help your mental health. The thing is I actually look forward to these appointments, I don't know, maybe I just need to talk. Not much talking as the length of time for the appointment for Medicare patients is only 15 to 20 minutes. After what happened at factory B and I quit I tell classmates that I'm probably the only one in the class that retired at age 37. It sure puzzled the heck out of Roger Farmer and June Farmer, the parents of Amy Farmer, she's married now Amy Farmer Brass-worthy, hmm, Lead-worthy, nope, copper-worthy, nope, silver-worthy, not that either, Amy Farmer Goldsworthy, that's what it has to be. Some metal and worthy.I think I found a producer for a sci-fi mystery series, Alpha Force versus the Legion of death, quite a few bites on this one. Steve Hudson plays an interstellar fugitive and warrior; the Hudson Special Team Private Investigators are survivors of a nuclear war. It's an Armageddon series, neon flame, radioactivity sickness, fallout's finally reached the point that you can walk at night if you happened to survive the infernal unholy light. I've been a mysteries fan from years back, I think I read my first Agatha Christie-a mysterious affair at styles-back in 1972, that would have been 4 years before she passed away in 1976. In 2001, a misdiagnosis of paranoid schizophrenia-according to my file a history of psychoses-in 2003 a correct diagnosis of stress anxiety syndrome, and in 2013 a correct diagnosis of panic attacks syndrome, in 2019 an updated diagnosis of social anxiety. So, my shrink thinks I'm schizophrenic, I suppose that there are worse things, like being force committed to a psych ward but I'm getting ahead of myself. They can only involuntary commit you if you are a threat to yourself or a threat to others, I never said I wanted to off myself or kill somebody, even so, I spent 5 days incarcerated in a Behavioral Health Unit-a BHU is the politically correct for psych ward-met with psychiatrist or psychologist-I'm still not certain what the difference is-Erwin Rommel for 20 minutes, that was it, 20 minutes in 5 days, 120 hours, he took

"No ""Don't tell me no " cried Darquelnoy. "I "saw" it " He was obviously at his wit's end."It's unbelievable," said Ebor."I know," said Darquelnoy. He led the way into his quarters, motioned Ebor to a perch, and rang for his orderly. "It was just a little remote-controlled apparatus, of course," he said. "The fledgling attempt, you know. But it circled this Moon here, busily taking pictures, and went right back to the planet again, giving us all a terrible fright. There hadn't been the slightest indication they were planning anything "that" spectacular.""None?" asked Ebor. "Not a hint?"

This is the biography of James E. Keeler (1857–1900), a distinguished pioneer of astrophysics, the application of the methods of physics to understanding the nature of the stars, nebulae, planets, comets, and other objects that populate the universe. Keeler was an outstanding scientist, and his fellow astronomers and physicists at the end of the nineteenth century considered him the leading astronomical spectroscopist of his generation. His career was closely linked with that of George Ellery Hale, founder of Yerkes Observatory. Keeler himself was the first astronomer at Lick Observatory, and the story of his life tells much of the early history of these two early American ‘big-science’ research institutions.
