Jarena Lee was born on February the 11th 1783, in Cape May, New Jersey. She was born into freedom, but Cape May was entangled by just enough commerce and culture, with Maryland’s Eastern Shore and Virginia’s northern borders, that she probably was exposed at an early age, to the inhumanities that characterized southern enslavement. At the age of seven, Lee was separated from her parents and sent to live as a servant maid for a Caucasian family sixty miles away from her home. The names and occupations of her parents are unknown, but what is about them is that they were entirely ignorant of the knowledge of God and because of that had not instructed her in any way regarding the matter of God or religion. Lee’s lack of the knowledge of …show more content…
In 1821 at a church service, Lee became so overwhelmed by the Holy Spirit that she sermonized extemporaneously, without the elders’ permission. This happened when a visiting Reverend was to preach. He began to give his text which was from Jonah; he began with saying “Salvation is of the Lord”. But he must have lost the Spirit or something because he suddenly became silent and in that same moment Mrs. Lee was prompted by the Spirit of God, jumped to her feet and gave an exhortation on the very text that the Reverend had began to preach from! Lee describes this experience as God’s way of showing the world that she was truly called. But she also describes herself as being incredibly frightened of the repercussions that she would face because of what she had done. She thought that she might be expelled from the church. But to her surprise the Bishop announced to the congregation that she had come to him eight years prior asking to be permitted to preach and that he had denied her, but now believed that she was indeed called to the work. This and subsequent sermons established her as an evangelist whose words could heal hopeless penitents and encourage dying backsliders of any denomination.
In 1822 Lee again approached Allen for ordination, she wanted to be ordained as part of the larger system. Allen refused her again worried of what might be said
The role of the clergy was a major part of Civil war propaganda, but it primarily occurred in the context of Lee’s massive conversion policies that inspired men to join his ranks. More so, the North and the South had built many chapels for soldiers to find salvation and inspiration for fighting the war in military life: “Chapels often were built in soldiers’ quarters. In 1864, the Army of Northern Virginia alone boasted 15 chapels. One chapel built by the Army of the Tennessee seated more than 1,000 people.” In this manner, Lee’s
In her writing titled “A Narrative of the Captivity and Restauration of Mrs. Mary Rowlandson”, Mary lies out for the reader her experience of being held in captivity by Indians during the King Philip’s War. Perhaps one of the most significant aspects of this writing is the glimpse that the reader gets into Rowlandson’s faith and religion. Faith was a major aspect of life in the Colonial Period. It was of widespread belief that God was to be feared, and that he was the only way to redemption (Kizer). Mary Rowlandson was no different, but the extreme conditions of her captivity caused her faith to occasionally waiver. Most of the time throughout her journey in captivity, she depended on God, and the
Kathryn Kuhlman was born in Missouri on May 9, 1907 to a Methodist mother and a Baptist father. When Kathryn was at the age of fourteen, she went to a Methodist church with her mother and encountered the Holy Spirit for the first time. Kathryn recounts her testimony in a video and she said, “We were sitting there, it was time for the last song and I was holding the old fashion Methodist hymnal, whether anyone has ever been converted in that church before or since I’ll never know, but when the last song was being sung and I was holding that old fashion Methodist hymnal in my hand, I was only fourteen years of age, sometime happened to me. I cannot tell you one word the preacher said, not one. But I only know that in that moment, the Holy Spirit came upon me, I did not recognize, I did not even know there was such a thing as a holy spirit, and I began to shake. I began to tremble. So much so that I had to lay the hymnal down in the pew.” In that moment she became a believer of Christ.
A woman living in the MA Bay colony with the belief that if God had already decided what a person’s fate was (predestination), they had no reason to follow the laws of the society nor of God. She was brought to trial in 1638 and banished from the colony.

Jonathan Edwards was one of the most famed evangelical preachers in the Age of the Great Awakening. He is best known for his most impactful sermon, “Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God.” Edwards preached with fury and conviction of the All Great our God. He preached for the wanderers; those lost in their spiritual belief. Edwards uses a wide variety of figurative language and rhetorical techniques to urge unregenerate Christians to sanctify their lives and walk devoutly before God, using fear. During this time of recognition, renewal and self-reliance in one’s connection with God, Edwards’ sermon did nothing but illustrate the exact conception of the age of the Great Awakening.

The story of Jarena Lee is one of great lows and great triumphs. It begins in Cape May, New Jersey, where on February 11, 1783 Jarena Lee was born. Lee’s parents were both free African Americans, but at the age of seven Lee went to work as a domestic servant for a Mr. Sharp. It was during this work where Lee first found the spirit of God after lying to Mrs. Sharp about completed a task she had not. After telling this lie, Lee felt the spirit of God move throughout her and filled her with feelings of guilt. Lee promised herself she would never lie again and consequently beginning her long journey of finding the spirit of God. In 1804, Lee went to listen to a Presbyterian missionary preach the word of God. After listening to the missionary, Lee felt the full weight of her sins. Because she had not yet learned how to turn to God, Lee instead turned to Satan and felt the need to destroy herself. Fortunately, the unseen arm of God stopped Lee from acting on these feelings. After this, Lee left her job as a domestic servant and moved to Philadelphia.
In 1918, at the age of twenty six, Sarah’s life encountered a major turning point. While joining her father on a trip to Philadelphia she met many well-known Quakers. While talking with the men, Sarah found that she was interested in their beliefs and views on life and what was occurring in society. This intrigued her to ask them their opinion on male and female equality. When they responded that they were in favor of equality, she left the Anglican religion, as well as her family, and moved to Philadelphia to become a Quaker. (VanBurkleo, 2000) However, as she studied and lived with them, she soon discovered how they felt about slaves and African Americans in general. At this time, her younger sister Angelina came to live with her and the two began protesting at Quaker meetings.

Stacy Tuttle, has briefly mentioned that the quotes aren’t exactly from Pastor Lee, but rather from him and his wife. Tuttle takes the setting and the background into a play script format. Then she gets into the quotes Pastor Lee and his wife say. Tuttle uses a pattern, by saying the question first and then proceeding to Pastor Lee’s answer to the question. Tuttle includes a few facts after the interview. The quotes are credible for they hold Pastor Lee’s opinions which are then supported by
An exceptional poem can move the reader to a new consciousness. It becomes more than words pieced together to make a rhyme, and evokes true emotion that is palpable. One of the most influential authors that contributed to this experience was Edgar Allan Poe. His work is almost immediately recognizable due to his common motif that is both melancholy and mysterious. Much of his writing concerns love and loss, such as in his poem “Annabel Lee.” The essence of this work is endless love and the death of a beautiful young girl. It is thought by many that most of his literature mirrors his actual life, which was riddled with heartbreak and sorrow. It is evident from the mood and setting of his writing that he dealt with a lot of
