Martin Luther King Jr. read the words of the apostle Paul to the church in Rome-"Be transformed by the renewing of your mind"-as a call not to retreat from the world but to lead the world into the kingdom of God, where peace and justice reign. In King’s day the presenting problem was entrenched racism; the movement of God was a revolution in civil rights and human dignity. Now Adam Taylor draws insights from that movement to the present, where the burden of the world is different but the need is the same. Jim Wallis writes in the foreword, Mobilizing Hope "is a story of how Adam and many of his cohorts are shaping the next strategies for faith-based social change; a theology for social justice; a spirituality for young activists; a handbook for those who want to experiment with activism and search out their own vocation in the world; and a strategy manual that draws lessons from past movements for change." See what today’s transformed nonconformists are doing at home and abroad to keep in step with the God of justice and love, and find ways you can join the new nonconformists in an activism of hope.

Civil war London Mobilizing for parliament, 1641-5


Free Download Jordan S. Downs, "Civil war London: Mobilizing for parliament, 1641-5 "
English | ISBN: 1526148811 | 2021 | 344 pages | PDF | 6 MB
This book looks at London’s provision of financial and military support for parliament’s war against King Charles I. It explores for the first time a series of episodic, circumstantial and unique mobilisations that spanned from late 1641 to early 1645 and which ultimately led to the establishment of the New Model Army. Based on research from two-dozen archives, Civil war London charts the successes and failures of efforts to move London’s vast resources and in the process poses a number of challenges to longstanding notions about the capital’s ‘parliamentarian’ makeup. It reveals interactions between London’s Corporation, parochial communities and livery companies, between preachers and parishioners and between agitators, propagandists and common people. Within these tangled webs of political engagement reside the untold stories of the movement of money and men, but also of parliament’s eventual success in the English Civil War.

English | ISBN: 3111110303 | 2022 | 230 pages | EPUB, PDF | 2 MB + 1217 KB
This collective work offers a historical approach to the issue of voters’ mobilisation and, through case studies, aims to expand the fi eld’s research agenda by taking into account less familiar mobilising strategies from various groups or parties, both in Britain and the United States. Two different yet complementary approaches are used, one from the top down with political parties, the other from the bottom up with grassroots organisations, to analyze how these groups either (re-)connect citizens with politics or give birth to social movements which durably occupy and change the political landscape of the United States and Britain.
