THE HISTORY OF RELIGION
From ancient rituals to modern spirituality, religion tells the story of humanity’s search for meaning.
For me, that search led from organized religion into a personal spiritual path—rooted in peace, openness, and conscious living.

📢 NEW ARTICLE 📢
SHOSHI MUKHI DASS (1868 - 1921), missionary, teacher and nurse
'In Glasgow, she was actively involved with the Welsh National Union while further south, in Wales, she delivered several public lectures to Methodist audiences. Wearing a sari to demonstrate the typical dress of women in north-east India, she spoke in English about the history and culture of her country, her education and missionary work, and sang hymns in Bangla. During her second year in Britain, she frequently lectured together with Kate E. Williams, Pwllheli, to crowded audiences. These appearances were part of the qualification process for outgoing missionaries to India for the Welsh Calvinistic Methodist Church. Shoshi had been accepted by the General Assembly at Bootle by May 1893.' -- Rita Singer

Josie Riesmann (@abrahamjoseph ) has startet out on a (probably) highly accurate and really highly funny webcomic to tell the #Genesis of the Book of Genesis.

“Any one killed from an aeroplane would be lost (to God)” ... it turns out this statement is likely not fictional or a distortion, but rather, accurately summarizes the views of Seven Day Adventist church founder, Ellen White.

As they say, just because some deluded dude made it all up doesn't mean there are not millions of other deluded dudes who believe it. #HistoryofReligion

🗣 The call for papers of the international conference "Religious Consciences and Colonialism: Experiences and Legacies" was extended until 21 October.
The meeting will explore religious figures and institutions which raised their voices and took action again colonialism and the dictatorship of the Estado Novo.

According to a letter from a cousin, Elisha Khamis, to a #WelshMethodist preacher in #USA, Issac was killed in 1915 in an anti-Christian massacre in the Ottoman Empire, broadly in the Kurdistan region. It looks as if Elisha later emigrated and settled in the US.
Judging from the way in which the 1890s articles report about Issac's lectures, he was genuinely welcomed by the #Welsh congregations and held quite dear.
If anyone might have any further info on Issac Kamis, who also spoke under the name of "Isaac of Persia" during his lecturing tours in #Wales and #England, please get in touch.

It feels a little like following a closely laid trail from one ninteenth-century #Welsh #missionary to another.
Rev. Rai Bhajur, born into a small village in the Khassia Hills, India. He converted to Christianity as a teen, studied and took up a job as a school inspector in India before leaving his employment and become a missionary. During his stay in the UK, he studied medicine at Liverpool and extensively travelled around #Wales speaking about the work of the Welsh Mission in India and collecting funds before returning home to continue his spiritual work and continue his links with the Welsh ministers.
He is one of the good number of new contenders to have his biography added to the #Bywgraffiadur. Would YOU like to write his life for us?

"The Liberation of Lilith."
Remembered as Adam’s first wife, a child-killing demon and a feminist hero, who was Lilith?

I'm definitively not a scholar of #HistoryOfReligion, #ReligiousStudies, or #catholicism so am unsure how to interpret this, an inventory after death reporting that the will of the deceased, a wealthy woman from #Québec in 1886, directed that 800 low masses be said for the souls of herself and her already deceased husband. This seems like an awful lot. What do you say #histodons? @histodons
Ulrich Lehner’s book successfully addresses the historiographical gaps of the Catholic Enlightenment from the lenses of theology and history. Due to its brevity, topics like controversies that shook Catholicism as well as early modern authors and works, information about popes, and religious orders are left out, giving readers the room to simultaneously explore other books on these topics.
