Cut from the Cloth of Fogo is Stewart Payne’s memoir, tracing his humble beginnings on Fogo Island in the 1930s and his journey to becoming one of the most respected Anglican clergymen in Newfoundland and Labrador. With modesty and humour, Stewart describes his early upbringing on Fogo Island, his first trip to the big city to enter Memorial College, his teaching years at Indian Islands and Fogo, and the ministerial calling that put him on the path to a long and rewarding life of humanitarian work.

Stewart’s first pastoral charge was Happy Valley, followed by Bay Roberts and St. Anthony. He went on to become bishop of the Diocese of Western Newfoundland and retired as metropolitan in the Ecclesiastical Province of Canada. Besides his role in the church, Stewart has also been an activist for social issues affecting his congregation. When the cod moratorium was declared in 1992, he was invited to form a coalition with other churches to help unemployed fishermen and plant workers. In partnership with other concerned fisheries organizations, Stewart helped form a committee to reach out to people in distress, to listen to their concerns, and to bring their issues before government.

From his early years in Fogo to his election as metropolitan, Stewart Payne tells his life story as a series of anecdotes involving the people who helped him along the way, including his devoted wife, Selma (née Penney), his equal partner in a lifetime of sharing in other people’s joys and supporting them in times of distress.

2022 Choice Outstanding Academic Title. Cree and Christian develops and applies new ethnographic approaches for understanding the reception and indigenization of Christianity, particularly through an examination of Pentecostalism in northern Alberta. Clinton N. Westman draws on historical records and his own long-term ethnographic research in Cree communities to explore questions of historical change, cultural continuity, linguistic practices in ritual, and the degree to which Indigenous identity is implicated by Pentecostal commitments. Such complexity calls for constant negotiation and improvisation, key elements of Pentecostal worship and speech strategies that have been compared to jazz modes. The historical sweep of Cree and Christian considers the dynamics of Pentecostal conversion in relation to the strengths and weaknesses of other denominations and the underlying foundation of Cree cosmological worldviews. Pentecostalism has remained open to recognizing the power of spirits while also benefiting from its own essential flexibility. Pentecostals often seek to gain a degree of temporal and spiritual autonomy and authority that may not have seemed possible under previous Christian practices or Cree traditions. Cree and Christian is the first book to provide a fully historicized account of Indigenous Pentecostalism, connecting contemporary religious practices and pluralism to historical Pentecostal, Evangelical, Catholic, and mainstream Protestant missions since the nineteenth century. By tracing religious practices and discourses since the 1890s, Westman paints a picture of the transformations and encounters from the earliest conversions (and resistance) to today's pluralistic, mediatized, and bilingual religious landscape.

Le dialogue continue … ... ce changement de paradigme exigera une grande sagesse, un grand courage et une détermination massive. Car la Peur va frapper au coeur de ces concepts et les qualifier de faux. La Peur va dévorer le coeur de ces magnifiques vérités et les fera paraître vides. La Peur va déformer, dédaigner, détruire. Ainsi, la Peur sera votre plus grand ennemi. Vous ne pourrez vivre dans, ni même créer, le monde dont vous avez toujours rêvé si vous ne reconnaissez pas, avec sagesse et clarté, la vérité ultime : ce que tu fais aux autres, c'est à toi-même que tu le fais; ce que tu négliges de faire aux autres, c'est à toi-même que tu négliges de le faire; la douleur des autres est tienne et la joie des autres est tienne; et lorsque tu désavoues quelque partie que ce soit, tu désavoues une partie de toi-même. Le temps est venu de te réapproprier. Le temps est venu de chercher à nouveau Qui Tu Es Vraiment, et ainsi, de te rendre à nouveau visible. Car lorsque toi et ta vraie relation à Dieu deviendrez visibles, alors Nous serons indivisibles. Et rien ne Nous divisera plus jamais.

Written shortly after he became Biship of Hippo, "Confessions" highlights Augustine's childhood in Numidia and his riotous youth and early manhood in Carthage, Rome, and Milan. It also chronicles his continuing struggle with sin and his efforts to find satisfaction in Manichaenism and Neoplatonism. Particularly poignant are his mother's tireless efforts to rescue him from self-destruction and his dramatic conversion to the Christian faith at age 32.
