Book Description
Building on the history documented in Chronicles of Religious Science Volume I, this second volume opens with the transition of Ernest Holmes in 1960. Each chapter highlights the growth and decisions of the Church of Religious Science and Religious Science International as the organizations grew and eventually merged back into one whole in 2012. Based on interviews, quotes, meeting minutes and commentary, these two volumes capture the essence of Religious Science and preserve its history for future generations. Chronicles of Religious Science Volume II is truly a work of heart by Dr. Marilyn Leo, “Living Treasure” and former neighbor to Ernest and Hazel Holmes. Dr. Leo delves deep into the oracles and wisdom of the Science of Mind Archives to share key events in the evolution of Science of Mind. In this book, we honor the transition of our founder, Dr. Ernest Holmes, in 1960, and we celebrate the healing and uniting of our movement in 2011-12. "This is a valuable resource and an essential read for anyone who has been touched by this profound teaching." — Rev. Kathy Mastroianni Executive Director, Science of Mind Archives and Library Foundation This latest volume of Chronicles of Religious Science embodies the spirit of our founder, Dr. Ernest Holmes’, statement that Religious Science should always remain “open at the top.” It opens the reader to the unfolding story of this amazing movement. In so doing, it is a valuable resource to every practitioner of the Science of Mind. "Dr. Marilyn Leo has a way of answering the questions of the curious in this, her latest contribution to Religious Science. Enjoy your journey through the annals of one of the major contributors to the Science of Mind." — Rev. Stephen Rambo, Spiritual Leader, CSL Simi Valley "Ernest Holmes writes, “When, through intuition, faith finds its proper place under Divine Law, there are no limitations, and what are called miraculous results follow.” The Chronicles of Religious Science II is one of those miraculous efforts. I offer deep gratitude to Marilyn Leo for capturing the essence and details of so many aspects of the life of Holmes and the Religious Science movement and honor the keen minds and huge hearts who worked tirelessly to bring it to you. Holmes also writes, “A thought of love is always healing.” May this work be a loving support to you on your spiritual path. The journey continues." — Rev. David Goldberg, Ph.D. Past Publisher and Editor, Science of Mind Magazine, Science of Mind Publishing

Courting Science
Author: Damon V. Coletta
Publisher: Stanford University Press
ISBN: 0804798966
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 249
Book Description
In Courting Science, Damon Coletta offers a novel explanation for the decline of American leadership in world affairs. Whether the American Century ends sooner rather than later may depend on America's capacity for self-reflection and, ultimately, self-restraint when it comes to science, technology, and engineering. Democracy's affinity for advanced technology has to be balanced against scientific research and progress as a global enterprise. In an era of rising challengers to America's lead in the international order and an increasingly globalized civil society, a "Scientific State" has a better chance of extending its dominance. In order to draw closer to this ideal, though, the United States will have to reconsider its grand strategy. It must have a strategy that scrutinizes how tightly it constrains, how narrowly it directs, and how far it trusts American scientists. If given the opportunity, scientists have the potential to lead a second American Century through domestic science and technology policy, international diplomacy, and transnational networks for global governance.

Summer for the Gods
Author: Edward J Larson
Publisher: Basic Books
ISBN: 1541646029
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 368
Book Description
The Pulitzer Prize-winning history of the Scopes Trial and the battle over evolution and creation in America's schools In the summer of 1925, the sleepy hamlet of Dayton, Tennessee, became the setting for one of the twentieth century's most contentious courtroom dramas, pitting William Jennings Bryan and the anti-Darwinists against a teacher named John Scopes, represented by Clarence Darrow and the ACLU, in a famous debate over science, religion, and their place in public education. That trial marked the start of a battle that continues to this day-in cities and states throughout the country. Edward Larson's classic Summer for the Gods -- winner of the Pulitzer Prize in History -- is the single most authoritative account of this pivotal event. An afterword assesses the state of the battle between creationism and evolution, and points the way to how it might potentially be resolved.

Sufi Women, Embodiment, and the ‘Self’
Author: Jamila Rodrigues
Publisher: Taylor & Francis
ISBN: 1000833410
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 145
Book Description
This book is an ethnographic case study of Sufi ritual practice and embodied experience amongst female members of the Naqshbandi community. Drawing on fieldwork in Cape Town, South Africa, and Lefke, Cyprus (2013/2014), the author examines women’s experiences within a particular performance of Sufi tradition. The focus is on the ritual named hadra, involving the recital of sacred texts, music, and body movement, where the goal is for the individual to reach a state of intimacy with God. The volume considers Sufi practice as a form of embodied cultural behavior, religious identity, and selfhood construction. It explains how Muslim women’s participation in hadra ritual life reflects religious and cultural ideas about the body, the body’s movement, and embodied selfhood expression within the ritual experience. Sufi Women, Ritual Embodiment and the ‘Self’ engages with studies in Sufism, symbolic anthropology, ethnography, dance, and somatic studies. Contributing to discussions of religion, gender, and the body, the book will be of interest to scholars from anthropology, sociology, religious ritual studies, Sufism and gender studies, and performance studies.
