    The Burned Over District Summary

    Mormonism has usually been described as a frontier religion. But study of the circumstances of its origins and its continuing appeal in the area which bred it suggests a different view. The church did not rise during the pioneering era of western New York. Its early recruits came from many sects, but invariably from the longest settled neighborhoods of the region. Joseph’s peregrination during the period when he was pregnant with the new religion were always eastward, not westward, from his Manchester home. The first congregations of the church formed at Manchester, Fayette in Seneca County, and Colesville in Broome County. These facts together with the realization of Mormonism’s dependence on current excitements and upon myths and doctrines built by the passage of time into the locality’s very fabric, demonstrate that the Church of the Saints was not a frontier phenomenon in origin.…

    Mormonism: Comparisons to Monotheism and If It Is Truly Monotheistic

    Mormonism is the predominant religious tradition of the Latter Day Saint movement of Restorationist Christianity. This movement was founded by Joseph Smith, Jr., in the 1820s. During the 1830s and 1840s, Mormonism gradually distinguished itself from traditional Protestantism. Mormonism today represents the new, non-Protestant faith taught by Smith in the 1840s. Mormonism in itself is its own religion. It has its own beliefs and customs. But it has some connections to other mainstream monotheistic religions. These religions are Judaism, Islam, and Christianity. Mormonism shares some commonalities with these religions and some differences.…

In 1823, Smith would claim that an angel directed him to a buried book written on golden plates containing the religious…

    John Wesley's Fourth Sermon On The Sermon Of The Mount.

    This mission reminds us that for the Kingdom of God to continue to break in, individual lives need to be changed, while being motivated and equipped for transformation. Our Book of Discipline offers this cue: “God has used our church to save persons, heal relationships, transform social structures, and spread scriptural holiness, thereby changing the world.” When we change lives and introduce people to the all-loving nature of God, we indeed transform the world. When making disciples, the Church welcomes people into community, educates them on God’s call for Christians, and equips them toward using their spiritual gifts to serve as change agents playing a role in bringing about the Kingdom of…

    Ancient Greece: The Golden Age Of Greece

    Painting is silent poetry, and poetry is painting that speaks. – Plutarch. It would be remiss to discuss any genre of visual art and not give credit to the influence that the ancient Greeks, especially during the Golden Age, have had on the arts. The Greek's Golden Age was a time of peace and cultural prosperity, and it was the time that most of Greece's contributions to Western civilization came. Their influence can be seen in any sculpture or painting especially those that depicts the human form. The most significant advances in art during the Greek Golden Age were in sculpture, architecture and pottery. Golden Age of Athens is the foundation for the different forms of art that is present today.…
