Abstract:
“Seeing Sanctuary” explores the practice and labeling of immigrant sanctuaries in the Trump era of migration enforcement and family separation. The essay utilizes the case of a class visit to a migrant sanctuary in Amherst, Massachusetts, and explores the challenges, rewards, and sense of futility from this flawed but necessary form of accompaniment. In March of 2018, my “History of Deportation” class visited Lucio Pérez, a Guatemalan migrant and nineteen-year resident of Massachusetts, who resides in sanctuary at the First Congregational Church. At this writing, in August 2020, thirty-five months since he entered the church, Pérez is still in sanctuary. Facing deportation in October 2017, Pérez sought refuge, five months prior to our class visit. The essay, drawing from the public narrative of Pérez, distinguishes the open defiance of Pérez’s sanctuary from the broader “sanctuary city” efforts at non-compliance with federal enforcement schemes.

Abstract:
One Small Candle tells how the religious values of the Pilgrims prompted their settlement of the Plymouth Colony and how those values influenced the political, intellectual, and cultural aspect of New England life a hundred and fifty years before the American Revolution. It begins in early seventeenth-century England with their persecution for challenging the established national church, and their struggles as refugees in the Netherlands in the 1610s. It then examines the challenges they faced in planting a colony in America, including relations with the Native population. The book emphasizes the religious dimension of the story, which has been neglected in most recent works. In particular it focuses on how this particular group of puritan Congregationalists was driven by the belief that ordinary men and women should play the determinative role in governing church affairs. Their commitment to lay empowerment is illustrated by attention to the life of William Brewster, who helped organize the congregation in its early years and served as the colony’s spiritual guide for its first decade. The participatory democracy that was reflected in congregational church covenants played a greater role in the shaping of Massachusetts churches than has previously been accepted. This outlook also influenced the earliest political forms of the region, including the Mayflower Compact and local New England town meetings. Their rejection of individual greed and focus on community was an early form of an American social gospel.

Abstract:
For most of Terrell’s life, Christianity provided her with a social structure, a network, a community, and a set of ideals by which she aspired to live. A member of the Congregational Church, her liberal theology and embrace of the “Church Militant” focused on freedom in this world as well as the next. Theologically and socially liberal, Terrell’s ecumenical goal was unity and cooperation among all denominations. Terrell hoped for a racially integrated and activist militant church. Terrell’s encounter with the Oxford Group movement introduced her to a predominantly white nondenominational evangelical religious movement. Founded after World War I by Frank Buchman, the Oxford Group was at the peak of its popularity in 1936, when almost 10,000 people, including Terrell, attended its First National Assembly, in Massachusetts. But the Oxford Group could not become ballast for her because its members did not treat her or other African Americans as equals. In the late 1940s, Terrell finally felt optimistic when Christian ministers began to engage in the Civil Rights Movement. The interracial Fellowship of Reconciliation and the Congress of Racial Equality (CORE) began bringing blacks and whites together to practice a Christianity based on love, freedom, and racial justice.

Abstract:
During the 1620s the colony faced various challenges, some centering on a settlement to the north that came to be dominated by Thomas Morton. Morton was accused of selling guns and liquor to Natives and carrying on revels around a maypole he had erected. Plymouth sent Myles Standish and a small armed force to arrest Morton, and they sent him back to England. In 1628 the first settlers of what was to be the Massachusetts Bay Colony arrived in Salem. These puritans were not separatists but turned to Plymouth for advice on how to organize their religious life. Samuel Fuller, Plymouth’s physician and a deacon of the church, visited Salem to aid those suffering from scurvy, but also persuaded John Endecott, the settlement’s leader, of the congregational principles on which the Plymouth congregation was based. The Salem settlers thereafter drew up their own covenant and subsequently chose their own ministers.

Abstract:
Abstract In May 1840, following several frustrating years of stand-in preaching, Dwight was ordained as minister of the Congregational Church in Northampton, Massachusetts. Beloved by a few, he was ultimately dismissed for his crimes of Transcendentalism. Dwight also wrote for The Dial (1840–1844), an organ designed to spread the gospel of Transcendentalism. His first essay was a Northampton sermon, “The Religion of Beauty,” a lesson steeped in Transcendentalism and one that unearths Dwight’s youthful aesthetic stance. Dwight was involved in the effort to remake his old Harvard club, the Pierian Sodality, into a more permanent and impactful group, the Harvard Musical Association, which sought to organize, encourage, advocate, and develop a framework for the advancement of music in Boston. Dwight’s essays “Music, as a Branch of Popular Education” and the “Address Delivered before the Harvard Musical Association” congratulate his audience “on the brightening omens of our cause.”
