Similarities Between Charles Templeton And Billy Graham

Recognized as two of the greatest, most profound choreographers of the 20th century Martha Graham and Alvin Ailey forever changed the history and future of American Modern Dance. Both choreographers have such inspirational backgrounds that enhance the emotions throughout their pieces. In the peak of their careers, they fulfilled their accomplishments and goals. Being that they were both American choreographers, their work was different for the most part but was similar at some point. Martha Graham created a movement language based upon the expressive capacity of the human body.

On September 18, 1895, an African-American spokesman and leader Booker T. Washington spoke in the front of thousands of whites at the Cotton States and International Exposition in Atlanta. His famous “Atlanta Compromise” was one of the most influential speeches in American. regardless Washington soothed his listeners’ concerns about the what they said “uppity” blacks. Mr. Washington was a very well-known black educator. Even though he was born into slavery he strongly felt and believed that racism would in fact end once the blacks put effort into labor skills and proved themselves to society. He pressured industrial education for African-Americans so that they would gain respect from the whites. Washington often was good for ignoring discrimination because it didn’t phase him. But he was so nervous

belief of God, but throughout the events of World War II his faith slowly starts to wither away.

It is ironic how two men were both born during the same time period, in the same area, and had many similar ideas on one’s behavior, beliefs in God, and impacts on society; and they didn’t even know who they other person was! Both Ben Franklin and Jonathan Edwards were born in the eighteenth century, within three years of each other. They were both contemporaries and took time to write about themselves or their outlooks on life. They felt it was important to contribute to society and to share their ideas with others. Ben Franklin and Jonathan Edwards were similar and different in many ways, including their attitudes or perspectives on moral perfection, their beliefs in God, and their impacts on society throughout their life.

The Protestant Reformation began during the Renaissance time period, it was the attempt to reform the Roman Catholic church. It led to the creation of Protestant churches. This reformation began after multiple church leaders started demanding individuals to supply them with such large quantities of goods, food, and money that individuals did not have much left to provide to their own family. Several believed if they did not contribute and present the church with what they asked, they would be denied entrance to heaven once they passed away. People saw how the church thrived while those who contributed were ravenous and penniless. Martin Luther, a monk, noticed several inaccuracies between what the Roman Catholic Church practiced and the Bible as he studied the Bible. He decided to speak out by creating the 95 Theses, and nailing it on the entrance of a catholic church. Protestants who had similar view as Luther’s began Luther-ism. John Calvin, had very similar views as Luther and was even inspired by him to reform the Catholic Church as well. I most admire Martin Luther because of how he spoke up and protested against the Roman Catholic church when he knew it could put him in danger, but I am most similar to John Calvin because of how he believes in predestination and how faith is revealed by living a righteous life.

should be treated. For some people their definition of how we should treat other people is that treat others how you would like to be treated. These people are the type of people who have a once and shred of dignity. For others it to crush and exploit people that they believe are less than them. They like to treat children, elderly, and the mentally disabled as animals. Once these class of people receive or inherent the tiny piece of power they want to use it for the things that will benefit them and only them. This though has been the only two choices that man has believed for nearly all of existence. Friedrich Nietzsche to the great Martin Luther King Jr. people

Martin Luther and Martin Luther King Jr. are incredible individuals in the history of the world. And both have contributed a significant amount of knowledge and influence that have changed the lives of many individuals, and even today is being studied and researched. These two great individuals have more in common than many people know, and that resides in their names respectively. Martin Luther King Jr.’s birth name was Michael and not Martin.

Maya Angelou, Martin Luther King Jr., and Langston Hughes are three well known African Americans. They all have a few similarities, but the one that really brought these three together is the fact that they all faced racism. Their experiences with the racism inspired their dream, a dream that will permanently make America, our country, the great nation it is publicized as.

In the Old Testament of the Bible and in twentieth-century America, liberation from suppression and inequality, and the expedition of adamant people towards independence and equality prevail. At the forefront of these political, cultural, and social movements are Moses and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Both men have left lasting imprints on history. In Exodus and continued in Deuteronomy, through the leadership of Moses and his counsel of God, Moses frees the persecuted Hebrews from their enslavement to the Egyptians, and delivers them to the Promised Land. Similarly, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. successfully leads the Civil Rights movement to free the subjugated African Americans of racial inequality, and deliver them to the Promised Land where there is freedom for all. The Old Testament Prophet, Moses, and the modern day Prophet, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., are comparable through their leadership which is evident in their devotion to their respective people, causes, and God.

Living in a divided society based upon the religions of the Puritans and the Quakers, Evan Feversham sought out his own religious faith through his daily interactions with both religious groups.

Back in my days…! Jeffrey and Harris were both slaves. Jeffrey was also known as chattel No. 319 (prime cotton hand), and he was aged 23 years. Harris, whose first name was Wesley, was a slave eager to escape. Although the two had multiple differences, they had various similarities as well.

People that were his friends were not anymore and some people found it offensive that he was not being in

Barry, I truly enjoyed reading your discussion post and found while reading I did not focus as much on areas that are very much important in my own thread. While also finding it difficult to separate Martin Luther and John Calvin, I found through my reading that John Calvin seemed to have an approach that seemed to pull him ahead by just a little. In regard to the church and state he has a stance that I felt is more relatable with biblical principles and our walks with God. I felt that the church visible and church invisible situation would make the different in who I chose because that is such a large aspect of their time. In closing, very thought out post and great job really providing me with different insight into the three Reformers and

Protecting the rights and dignity of the poor and oppressed is the most important moral duty of the church.’ Critically evaluate this statement with reference to Dietrich Bonhoeffer and Martin Luther King.

In order to raise a son who could arguably be the most influential preacher in this century, one would think his parents must surely have been influential, devout, and pious. In reality, Graham's parents were quiet, humble people of God. On a small dairy farm in Charlotte, North Carolina, Billy Graham received his first lessons in the ways of the world and in the ways of the mysterious God. His father was a working man, comfortable only when his hands were immersed and occupied in the work of the farm. Secretly, he always felt some unanswered calling to the pulpit, to be a preacher; a feeling that was only resolved by living his calling through his oldest son, Billy Graham (Frady 33). His parents were God fearing people and strict Calvinists, and raised Graham to believe in hard work and honesty. Billy Graham was later to reject this Calvinistic upbringing, but there is no doubt that his parents were the initial influences on his spiritual life.
