From coexistence to cooperation : changing perspectives of the American interfaith movement
No full texti, 56 leaves.
Bibliography: leaves 54-56.This thesis provides one alternative to the belief that inter-religious encounters act solely as mechanisms for violence, specifically through the perspective of the American interfaith movement. Though the movement began with the concept of promoting tolerance of religious diversity, the changing landscape of American religions has led to a shift in the purpose and function of the movement. I attempt to categorize the new state of organized interfaith action in the country into three overlapping types. I evaluate how they function, and speculate on why the interfaith movement exists the way it does in America today.Introduction to American religious pluralism -- Interfaith in practice : inter-religious encounters -- Long-term interfaith organizations -- Evaluating the interfaith movement

Wheaton women in the long 1950s.
No full textv, 113 leaves : illustrations.Bibliography: leaves 111-113."This is a study of women who attended Wheaton College during the 1940s through the early 1960s. It tries to understand how real college women interacted with political and cultural influences that existed in America during this time. My findings draw connections between student and administrative opinion on Wheaton as an institution during this time period using primary sources from the Wheaton College Archives including the Wheaton News and the Wheaton College Bulletin. In order to learn about women’s life choices, I constructed a “survey” that I call the Wheaton College Alumnae Survey. It is an in depth look at women’s lives and life choices from the classes of 1944, 1949, 1954, 1959, and 1964 based on information collected in reunion newsletters. I argue that what is commonly referred to as the "1950s" is actually a much longer period. I call this era the “long 1950s”, which lasts from about 1945 until 1965 and is both an anomalous and dynamic time, especially in considering young women’s role in society. I argue that Wheaton, both its students and administration, supported a wide range of life experiences for its graduates that led Wheaton students of the era to have far more varied lives than what the dominant view of historians of that era have claimed.
