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

“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.

4/5: I found this book in an omnibus review on recent literature on the apocalypse and apocalyptical discourse in a German sociological review, and I was intrigued that it was by a theologian. (I didn't knew than that Keller is a very eminent theologian ;) I assumed this would be the standard eco-writing fare on climate change, but informed by theological view and religious history. Surprise, surprise: This is not such a book. It's very personal and very based in Keller's own faith, but on the other side very knowledgable and informative. I really learned a lot about the history of the Book of R...

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.
