Book Description
Excerpt from Memorials of the Life of John Gregg D.D: Bishop of Torh, Elonne, and Boss, and Formerly Minister of Trinity Chruch, Dublin Many requests were made by friends that I should prepare a memoir of my father's life; but the materials at hand did not supply the information usually to be found in a biography. He never was in the habit of keeping a journal of his acts or of his opinions, nor was he in the habit Of recording his Views on men and things in letters, or of entering upon a discus sion of general topics in his correspondence. I felt, too, that to enter into the details of his private life, and thus attempt to give import ance to ordinary occurrences, would be to do that which, if he could speak, he would forbid.

The Protestant Orphan Society and its social significance in Ireland 1828–1940
Author: June Cooper
Publisher: Manchester University Press
ISBN: 1847799868
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 232
Book Description
The Protestant Orphan Society, founded in Dublin in 1828, managed a carefully-regulated boarding-out and apprenticeship scheme. This book examines its origins, its forward-thinking policies, and particularly its investment in children’s health, the part women played in the charity, opposition to its work and the development of local Protestant Orphan Societies. It argues that by the 1860s the parent body in Dublin had become one of the most well-respected nineteenth-century Protestant charities and an authority in the field of boarding out. The author uses individual case histories to explore the ways in which the charity shaped the orphans’ lives and assisted widows, including the sister of Sean O’Casey, the renowned playwright, and identifies the prominent figures who supported its work such as Douglas Hyde, the first President of Ireland. This book makes valuable contributions to the history of child welfare, foster care, the family and the study of Irish Protestantism.

Waterford’s Anglicans
Author: Eugene Broderick
Publisher: Cambridge Scholars Publishing
ISBN: 1443815772
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 390
Book Description
This book explores the religious, political and social fortunes of Waterford’s minority Church of Ireland community during a turbulent period in Irish history. In the decades under consideration, an emerging and strident Catholic democracy eroded the power and social position of a once powerful ruling class. Waterford’s fearful and confused Anglicans took refuge and found consolation in a community which defined itself increasingly in denominational terms. This denominationalism came to be characterised by its Protestant evangelicalism and loyalty to the union with Britain. A unique insight is given into provincial Anglicanism, with a detailed examination of the character of its religious life and practice. There is a particular focus on one of the most controversial figures in the nineteenth century Anglican Church, Robert Daly, Bishop of Waterford, 1843-1872. Described by a contemporary as ‘a Protestant Pope’, this cleric inspired admiration and loathing, as he strove to resist the advances of an increasingly confident and vibrant Catholic Church. Studies of bishops of the nineteenth century Protestant Church have been largely conspicuous by their absence, but this book makes a valuable and original contribution to a glaring hole in this area of historiography. This study of Waterford’s Anglicans adds significantly to our understanding of the nature of Irish Protestantism at a time of crisis and decline.
