Samuel Noble
Samuel Noble (1779–1853) was an English engraver, and minister of the New Church (Swedenborgian). Life He was born in London on 4 March 1779, son of Edward Noble (died 1784), a bookseller and author of a work on perspective, and brother of George Noble the engraver, and William Bonneau Noble the painter. His mother provided him with an education including Latin, and he was apprenticed to an engraver. In his professional life, Noble became a skilled architectural engraver, and made a good income. Religious views and journalism Noble's religious convictions were the result of his reaction in 1796 against Tom Paine's ''The Age of Reason''. About 1798 he encountered ''Heaven and Hell'' by Emanuel Swedenborg, in the translation (1778) by William Cookworthy. He attached himself to the preaching of Joseph Proud, at Cross Street, Hatton Garden. Proud had urged Noble to take on the ministry of the New Church by 1801, and he occasionally preached. He declined, in 1805, an invitati ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
The New Church (Swedenborgian)
The New Church (or Swedenborgianism) is any of several historically related Christian denominations that developed as a new religious group, influenced by the writings of scientist and mystic Emanuel Swedenborg (1688–1772). Swedenborgian organisations acknowledge what they believe to be the universal nature of God's church: all who do good in accordance with the truth of their religion will be accepted into heaven (since God is goodness itself), and doing good joins one with God.TCR, n. 536. Swedenborg published some of his theological works anonymously; his writings promoted one universal church based on love and charity, rather than multiple churches named after their founders and based on belief or doctrine.Swedenborg, Emanuel. ''Heavenly Arcana'' (or ''Arcana Coelestia''), 1749–58 (AC). 20 vols. Rotch Edition. New York: Houghton, Mifflin and Company, 1907, in ''The Divine Revelation of the New Jerusalem'' (2012), n. 1799(4). History Although Swedenborg spoke in his ...

John Clowes (cleric)
John Clowes (20 October 1743 – 29 May 1831) was an English cleric and Fellow of Trinity College, Cambridge. Despite his position in the Anglican church, for which he served as Rector of St John's Church, Manchester from 1769 until 1831, he was a noted disciple of Emanuel Swedenborg and did much to propagate his ideas in the Manchester area. Early life John Clowes was born in Manchester on 20 October 1743 and baptised on 17 November of that year at St Ann's Church in the town. He was the fourth son of a barrister, Joseph Clowes (1700–79), and Catherine née Edwards (1712–52), who father may have been curate at Llanbedr in North Wales. Although his mother died when he was less than ten years old, it was she who encouraged an understanding of religion and that encouragement was continued by his father after her death. Clowes was educated at an academy run by John Clayton in Salford and may also have gone to a grammar school in the same area. He was admitted to Trinity Colle ...

Thomas Child (Swedenborgian)
Thomas Childs (1839–1906) was a Scottish minister of The New Church and writer. Life The son of John Child, a heckle-comb maker, and his wife Grace M'Kay, he was born at Arbroath on 10 December 1839, and brought up in the Free Church of Scotland. He was put under a relative at Darlington to learn tanning, but ran away. After serving apprenticeship to a chemist, Child was employed by manufacturing chemists at Horncastle; there he joined the Congregationalists and, with a view to its ministry, studied at Airedale College (1862–7). As a congregational minister he was at Castleford in the West Riding of Yorkshire (1867–8), and Sittingbourne in Kent (1870). Reading the ''Appeal'' by Samuel Noble led Child to accept the doctrines of Emanuel Swedenborg. As a preacher of the New Church, he officiated at Newcastle-on-Tyne (1872), moving to Lowestoft (1874) and to Bath, Somerset (1876), where he was ordained on 15 October 1878.

George Beaumont (minister)
George Beaumont ( fl. 1800–1830) was a British nonconformist minister and controversialist of the Ebenezer Chapel, Norwich. He is known as an early pacifist writer. Background According to an 1836 gazetteer, the Ebenezer Chapel in Norwich's Ber-Street was originally a Baptist meeting-house, and then was used by the Methodist New Connexion. George Beaumont represented Norwich at the New Connexion conferences of 1813 and 1814. When Beaumont wrote ''The warrior's looking glass'' of 1808, British pacifists, outside of the Society of Friends, were isolated. An article in the ''Monthly Repository'' in 1809, taking a cue from the recent abolition of the slave trade of 1807, and Thomas Clarkson's 1808 book on it, speculated on the abolition of war (attribution by Ceadel of a letter from "J. H." is to John Holland (1766–1826)). Also in 1809, in the ''Monthly Magazine'', "H. W." (Henry Wansey, of Unitarian views) called for a peace association. David Bogue's "first clear call to form ...

Cataract
A cataract is a cloudy area in the lens of the eye that leads to a decrease in vision. Cataracts often develop slowly and can affect one or both eyes. Symptoms may include faded colors, blurry or double vision, halos around light, trouble with bright lights, and trouble seeing at night. This may result in trouble driving, reading, or recognizing faces. Poor vision caused by cataracts may also result in an increased risk of falling and depression. Cataracts cause 51% of all cases of blindness and 33% of visual impairment worldwide. Cataracts are most commonly due to aging but may also occur due to trauma or radiation exposure, be present from birth, or occur following eye surgery for other problems. Risk factors include diabetes, longstanding use of corticosteroid medication, smoking tobacco, prolonged exposure to sunlight, and alcohol. The underlying mechanism involves accumulation of clumps of protein or yellow-brown pigment in the lens that reduces transmission of li ...

Grave Of Samuel Noble In Highgate Cemetery
A grave is a location where a dead body (typically that of a human, although sometimes that of an animal) is buried or interred after a funeral. Graves are usually located in special areas set aside for the purpose of burial, such as graveyards or cemeteries. Certain details of a grave, such as the state of the body found within it and any objects found with the body, may provide information for archaeologists about how the body may have lived before its death, including the time period in which it lived and the culture that it had been a part of. In some religions, it is believed that the body must be burned or cremated for the soul to survive; in others, the complete decomposition of the body is considered to be important for the rest of the soul (see bereavement). Description The formal use of a grave involves several steps with associated terminology. ;Grave cut The excavation that forms the grave.Ghamidi (2001)Customs and Behavioral Laws Excavations vary from a sha ...
