Book Description
We hope you are enjoying Sacred Stories: Stained Glass of Rhode Island Episcopal Churches in which we share with you the beauty of some of the stained glass windows in our Episcopal churches in Rhode Island. Stained glass windows, both as an art form, and as a sacred offering to God have adorn chapels, churches, and cathedrals since the Middle Ages. Beyond their beauty they are an important means of sharing our faith by depicting Bible stories of our saints and significant moments in our sacred history. Our Rhode Island Episcopal churches have a unique collection of windows that are wonderful examples of all of this. We invite you to explore in person by visiting the churches where they can be found. For more information about the windows and churches featured in this our first coloring book, please go to www.episcopalri.org/charities. Proceeds from our coloring book support the efforts of Episcopal Charities which works in partnership with our churches and local nonprofits to provide basic human needs for our neighbors all around Rhode Island. Since its creation in 1952, Episcopal Charities has raised millions of dollars to meet critical needs in Rhode Island. We are thankful for your support of this project and for our participating churches, Thea Ernest our artist, and Archdeacon Grace Swinski for their work in creating this coloring book. The Rt. Rev. W. Nicholas Knisely Bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Rhode Island

Grappling with Legacy
Author: Sylvia Brown
Publisher: Archway Publishing
ISBN: 1480844187
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 419
Book Description
This is a fascinating and intellectually honest work about a remarkable family that has played a major role in the history of Providence and Rhode Island. Sylvia Brown has made a tremendous contribution in writing this wonderful book. It is clearly a labor of love, and we should all be grateful to her for it. Vartan Gregorian, President of Carnegie Corporation of New York, former President of Brown University A splendid work of history---an honest, clearly written, and solidly based account of the private and public lives through four centuries of one of Americas most important and fascinating families. Gordon Wood, Pulitzer Prize for History, Alva O. Way University Professor and Professor of History Emeritus at Brown University What fuels a familys compulsion for philanthropy? Self-interest? A feeling of guilt? A sense of genuine altruism? Charitable giving is such an intrinsic part of American culture that its story deserves to be told, not in a dry, academic tome but through the tale of a colorful, multifaceted family. Since 1638, the Browns of Rhode Island have provided community leaders in one of the nations most idiosyncratic states. In the 18th century, they excelled at maritime commerce, were pioneers of the American industrial revolution, and adorned their hometown of Providence with public buildings, churches, and a university. In the 19th century, they pioneered the modern notion that universities can be forces for social good. And, in the 20th century, they sought to transform the human experience through great art and architecture. Over three hundred years, the Browns also wrestled with societys toughest issuesslavery, immigration, child labor, the dispossessedand with their own internal family tensions. Author Sylvia Brown tells the story of the ten generations of Browns that came before her with warmth and lucidity. Today, in an era of wealth creation and philanthropic innovation not seen since the Gilded Age, Grappling with Legacy provides fascinating insights into a unique aspect of Americas heritage.
