Podcasts about Julia Ward Howe

This show is for mom! It's a celebration of mothers from Children's Hour listeners and our kids crew. We'll also learn the history of Mother's Day, beginning 1872 when Julia Ward Howe made the first Mother's Day Proclamation. Plus we find out about bird moms, and hear great music honoring motherhood.

In Part 3 of our series The Big Questions, David Armstrong helps us explore the tension between violent depictions of God in Scripture and the radical peace of Jesus. While wars have been justified in God's name throughout history—including today in Ukraine and Gaza—Jesus reveals a different path: love for enemies, rejection of violence and vengeance, and the peaceable Kingdom (Matthew 5:38-48, Revelation 5:5-6).In fact, Jesus teaches his disciples that we should understand God as a divine parent, and throughout Scripture, maternal imagery portrays God as a mother—nurturing, caring, and protecting (Matthew 23:37, Isaiah 49:15). Julia Ward Howe's Mother's Day Proclamation in 1870 called women to oppose war and work for reconciliation—advocacy that flows from the transformative vision of what God is like: not a vengeful warrior, but a protective mother who seeks peace and wholeness for all.This podcast recording begins with a 7min reflection and prayer on Mothering Sunday by Andrew Farmer & Libby Ryans. Andrew performs a reading of his poem ‘Knitting & Kicking' — a studio recording is available on his album Amelanchier at https://frmr.bandcamp.com/album/amelanchier

Det amerikanska inbördeskriget är USA:s blodigaste krig som det fortfarande går att skönja spåren efter idag. Inbördeskriget kom att förebåda de totala krig som kom att föröda Europa på 1900-talet.Trots den enorma skalan var det ett amatörernas krig vilket resulterade stora förluster på bägge sidor. Det var också det första moderna kriget där nya militära teknologier som pansarbåtar och repetergevär kom att utnyttjas i stora slag med enorma förluster till följd.I detta avsnitt av Historia Nu samtalar programledaren Urban Lindstedt med professor Martin Hårdstedt om kriget som delade USA. Detta är första delen av tre i vår serie om det amerikanska inbördeskriget.I början av 1861 gick sju amerikanska delstater samman för att gemensamt lämna Amerikas Förenta Stater och bilda Amerikas Konfedererade Stater. Stora dispyter om slaveri mellan det nordliga och sydliga USA hade lett till en spänd politisk situation och valet av Abraham Lincoln till USA:s sextonde president 1860 fällde avgörandet.Så småningom utgjordes de konfedererade staterna, eller sydstaterna, av sammanlagt elva delstater. För den nytillträdda presidenten i nord väntade en svår uppgift – att åter ena landet till en gemensam union. Detta skulle utmynna i en fyra år lång väpnad konflikt och ett krig som skulle sätta djupa spår i den amerikanska historien.Mellan 1861 och 1865 utkämpades det amerikanska inbördeskriget mellan Amerikas Förenta Stater och Amerikas Konfedererade stater. Kriget kännetecknas av sina framträdande generaler, de politiska val som präglat bilden av Abraham Lincoln och det faktum att det anses vara konflikten som satte stopp för slaveriet i USA.Trots att sydstaterna utkämpade ett defensivt krig som inledningsvis gick till deras fördel brukar man ofta betrakta 1863 som den avgörande vändpunkten. Nordstaterna fick övertaget och 1865 kapitulerade sydstaterna. Totalt dog mellan 500 000 och 1 000 000 människor till följd av kriget.3000 svenskar eller svenskättlingar slogs i det amerikanska inbördeskriget. De flesta för nordstaterna men även för konfederationen. Det fanns även ett svenskt kompani som ingick 57:e Illinoisregementet.Bild: Slaget vid Antietam. Potomac-armén: Gen. Geo. B.

Julia Ward Howe led one of the most significant lives in US history. She was a poet, feminist, political reformer, champion of international pacifism, and much more. Dr. Elaine Showalter joins us to discuss Julia Ward Howe's life, and the various civil wars she witnessed and had to fight. From composing “The Battle Hymn of the Republic” to writing the Mothers' Day Proclamation for peace, she was a very strong force in an America that was growing up to become a world power. Episode 270.

We're dedicating this week to shows about Julia Ward Howe and “The Battle Hymn of the Republic.” She wrote it in 1862 during America's most serious crisis. As the 2024 Presidential Election looms, we're facing another threat to our liberties and our future. We need something inspirational, something like Julia Ward Howe offered the nation during the Civil War. This brief episode sets what our shows this week will be.

6-23-24 Biblical-Literacy Mark continued A Study in Revelation with lesson 18 in this series. As an intro to the lesson, Mark shared a rendition of the “Battle Hymn of the Republic” whose lyrics, written by Julia Ward Howe, were partially based on passages from Revelation. Mark then continued the lesson with three parts emphasizing the fundamental and biblical truth that Jesus will come again! 1. Earlier Vignette's - a recap from Revelation: 1-16 show the age of the church to the second coming. Themes include: The world is in darkness; The church is light; Jesus is ever present; live like it. The church is persecuted by the world, but God wins in the end. Warnings to the world of coming judgment to cause repentance. There's a spiritual war ongoing. 2. The 7th Bowl - an angel poured out His bowl of wrath followed by Jesus's return. 3. Points for home: Trust and obey Wait in hope God will finish His work Listen to Mark expound on Revelation 1-16, referring to apocalyptic writings from 4th Ezra and Biblical Scripture.

      Slam the Gavel welcomes back Laurie Smith, LMSW to the podcast. Laurie was last on Season 3, Episode 170 and Season 4, Episodes 37, 74 and 153.      We discussed the dilemma of forced celebratory traditions such as Mother's Day and Father's Day. Laurie discussed the history behind Mother's Day which dates back to the Civil War. These clubs later became a unifying force in a region of the country still divided over the Civil War. In 1868 Jarvis organized “Mothers' Friendship Day,” at which mothers gathered with former Union and Confederate soldiers to promote reconciliation. Another precursor to Mother's Day also came from the abolitionist and suffragette Julia Ward Howe. In 1870 Howe wrote the “Mother's Day Proclamation,” a call to action that asked mothers to unite in promoting world peace. In 1873 Howe campaigned for a “Mother's Peace Day” to be celebrated every June 2nd. https://www.history.com/topics/holidays/mothers-day     Even if a parent can't be with their children there are other ways to celebrate or not celebrate these holidays.  What does a person do when everyone wants them to put on a smiling face, 'everything is going to be okay,' turns into a boundary violation. A person doesn't need to perform and mask for someone else and have a smile on their face in order to make someone else feel comfortable, is a nuance boundary violation. Not everyone needs to celebrate them or celebrate them in the same way. Find a way to celebrate in a way that has meaning for you.Laurie's information:  https://www.facebook.com/share/p/kKyEVgR9ThcpjX3s/?mibextid=qi2OmgThis episode of Slam the Gavel is sponsored by CPSprotect Consulting Services.

As I, Jesse Cope, wander through the verdant fields of my homestead, the idea of raising pigs becomes more than a quaint notion—it symbolizes the nurturing of our nation's spirit, which I'm eager to share with you on the American Soul podcast.

This episode isn't just a historical recount; it's a clarion call for humility and prayer in our political discourse, drawing inspiration from the steadfast faith of the House of Burgesses.

Have you ever paused to consider the wellspring of gratitude that bubbles up from a simple canine caper? Join me, your host Jesse Cope, as I recount the charming mayhem a puppy can unleash with a mere cardboard box, and how such moments of levity intertwine with our deeper expressions of thanks and prayer. In the latest episode of American Soul, we navigate the currents of our nation's heritage, with special emphasis on the treasures held within the pages of William J. Federer's "America's God and Country Encyclopedia of Quotations." Together, we'll uncover the profound impact Julia Ward Howe's advocacy and artistry had on the American narrative, and why her voice still resonates in the quest for justice and equality.As the journey through our past continues, we cast our gaze upon the Portsmouth Compact, a document that not only shaped Rhode Island but also illuminated the path for religious freedom entwined with Christian values. We seek out the echoes of these bygone days, yearning for leadership imbued with divine reverence and a renewal of the principles that once served as the bedrock of our society. I wrap up with heartfelt blessings for your loved ones and our nation, inviting you to join in the contemplation of the spiritual foundations that have sculpted the landscape of America.

In this episode Kelly talks about how the mothering and nurturing we do makes the world go ‘round. She talks about how being a nurturing leader and mothering are synonyms, even if we have a complicated relationship with the word Mother. She talks about the fears she had about becoming a mother and why self-mothering (or being your own inner-mom) is so important. She also tells the interesting origin story of Mother's Day and the badass, feminist organizer, Julia Ward Howe, who started the special day as an effort to bring women together in the name of world peace. Just wait until you hear the Mother's Day Proclamation of 1870! And we end with a super cute feature song that you *may* want to share with a loved one.

Major social and political forces led to the establishment of Mother's Day as a major and official holiday. This episode explains those forces, and also tells us who founded Mother's Day. Was it Julia Ward Howe with her famous "Appeal to Womanhood" Peace Proclamation in 1870? Or did Anna Marie Jarvis found it, honoring her own mother in 1908? And what did war and campaigns for international disarmament have to do with the history of Mother's Day? Encore episode.

I wanted to approach the subject of Mother's Day history not only as a matter of interest, but as a reminder for our listeners to appreciate their mom or even a friend's mom. I appreciate the women who have spent a great amount of energy and time raising families, many times while balancing a career and other responsibilities. As I think about Mother's Day, I am remembering my own mother who made all of my sister's and my clothes until she taught us to sew on our own. What I didn't realize at the time was that she probably didn't even grow up with a sewing machine and learned how to sew when it became necessary as there was very little money. My mother is gone now, but her example as well as many others have influenced my life and my role as a mom. Listen & Follow Podcast here: https://goalsforyourlife.com/womenathalftimepodcast The original Mothers' Day Proclamation was given by Julia Ward Howe in 1870. It was an appeal to unite for peace to womanhood throughout the word. In 1872 Julia asked for the celebration of a “Mother's Day for Peace” on June 2 of every year but was unsuccessful. Then, the modern Mother's Day was first celebrated in the United States in 1908 by Anna Jarvis, who wanted to honor her mother whom she lost in 1905. She worked tirelessly to promote the holiday and President Woodrow Wilson signed a proclamation making it a national holiday in 1914. Today, the holiday is celebrated in many countries around the world. The United States celebrates on the 2nd Sunday in May with cards, gifts and special meals.

After seeing last week's episode summary that acknowledged the strange timing of women's reproductive health being threatened on the same week we celebrate Mother's Day, a friend shared Heather Cox Richardson's newsletter written on the eve of Mother's Day. I felt compelled to share the history of the original Mothers' Day and Julia Ward Howe's conviction that women must make their voices heard.   May we all continue to promote women's right to have a say in American government. May we honor Howe's strong belief that women, as mothers, have a special role to perform in the world. May the mothers of mankind have the courage to interfere in the madness. May I, and all mothers, continue to teach our children charity, mercy, and patience. May I and all mothers, be too tender of those of another country to allow our children to be trained to injure people from another country. May Mama Bears throughout the world be inspired by Julia Ward Howe's devotion to creating the next great development in human history, a lasting Women's Peace Movement!  Enjoy the podcast!

Jarvis, who championed efforts toward better health, welfare, peace, and love. It essentially began as a women's movement to better the lives of other Americans. Listen in, it's a great story of how the day finally came to be and how it almost ended.   For all the moms listening, Happy Mothers Day.  I hope you are able to celebrate yourself today whether that means enjoying your children and doing something fun with them, or spending time with your friends or volunteering or even spending some time alone, relaxing and unwinding.  Whatever your plans, or lack thereof, I hope you are able to acknowledge yourself and give yourself some grace and understanding.   How will you spend your Mothers Day?  Share what you did in the comments of this episode.  I'd love to hear how you honoring yourself, your own mother or the mother figures in your life.   To learn more about how YOU can become a No-Problem Parent, go to www.noproblemparenting.com   Hugs & High Fives,   Jaci  

“When you redirect your reactivity, you choose to communicate in a peaceful way,” explains host Alejandra. With Mother's Day on the horizon, Alejandra understands that communicating with your mother can be challenging. Today, Alejandra breaks down helpful language tools that you can use with your mother to ensure reconciliation and peace on this day. The best gift you can give your mother on Mother's day is the gift of peace. Although it can be easy to give into past wounds or react to specific triggers, you can take a step towards connection and make a more positive choice. By reminding yourself of your intention before communicating, the relationship can lead towards healing, and your mother will have what she wants most of all: to feel the connection with your child. Tune into this week's episode of Language Alchemy Podcast for a loving conversation on communicating with your mother. Learn more about the origins of Mother's Day, how to redirect your reactivity, and ways to remind your mother that you care. Quotes • “When you redirect your reactivity, you choose to communicate in a peaceful way.” (8:20 - 8:26) • “Think about your mother and do something that reminds you of your intention before you call her or talk to her.
