1972199180Los Angeles: SCCRH 1972. 8p 5.5x8.5 inches information on the Council membership form 4p. bibliography on homosexuality local homophile organizations two folded sheets to make an unbound pamphlet lavender stock vignette of young male hustler on cover. From the One Archive finding aid: The Southern California Council on Religion and the Homophile SCCRH traces its origins to a June 1 1965 meeting of 20 individuals in the Westchester YMCA called by the Council on Religion and the Homosexual of San Francisco which had been founded in 1964. The purposes of SCCRH were "to open the avenues of communication and understanding between churchmen and homophiles; to investigate and implement ways for meeting the spiritual needs and social responsibilities of homophiles; to encourage more satisfactory climate of opinion within the community on broad matters of sex and morals; and to seek just social treatment of the homophile community". The articles of incorporation submitted to the California Secretary of State in April 1966 were signed by the Rev. Alexander Smith director of the Downtown Service Bureau of the Los Angeles Missionary Society of the Methodist Church; W. Dorr Legg of ONE Institute; the Rev. Kenneth Wahrenbrock of the First Methodist Church in Glendale; the Rev. Marjorie Likins; and the gay activist and journalist Jim Kepner. The SCCRH provided an extensive program of monthly lectures discussion groups and informal meetings of clergymen church members and members of the GLBT community; retreats and conferences exploring homosexuality and religion; "exposure education" for non-gay clergymen and church members to learn about such aspects of GLBT culture as gay bars clubs and organizations; assistance to churches developing policies relating to homosexuality and religion and to homosexual law reform; and training for counselors teachers clergymen and others who counseled homosexuals. The organization originally utilized the mailing address of the Rev. Smith's Downtown Service Bureau; by 1970 it used the address of the Los Angeles Council of Churches on West Adams Blvd.; and by February 1971 the Venice Blvd. address of ONE Institute of which both Legg and Kepner were officers.

18601570Quingua i.e. Plaridel 1860. Good plus. 428pp. Folio. Original limp calf manuscript cover title. Edges and spine worn; head of spine and upper corner of front wrap chipped. Text block loose at front hinge broken in a couple of places internally. A few leaves loose; scattered chipping and tears occasionally affecting text. Evenly tanned; occasional dust soiling. Completed in several hands; highly legible scripts. A valuable manuscript compilation of Catholic documents recorded by the local religious authorities at Quingua in the Philippines over much of the early- and mid-19th century. The present volume includes over 425 pages of decrees acts directives and elections that affected how religious life and instruction were carried out by the Catholic Church in the Philippines during the 1800s. Quingua now the municipality of Plaridel was founded by the Augustinian friars of Malolos who established a chapel in the village located on the banks of the Angat River on the north side of Manila Bay in 1581. The documents compiled here span from 1827 to 1860 and are recorded on leaves of native rice paper in a locally produced volume. The most basic and indeed most integral documents transcribed here are the chapter acts of the Augustinian order in the Philippines which transmit the orders and directives by which the friars led their daily lives. These include the results of yearly elections by which individuals were made bishops assigned to parishes and chosen for other significant church positions. Also included are annual "Actas y Determinanciones" as issued by central church authorities at Manila which touch on numerous local issues and dictated how the friars lived and carried out their religious duties. The volume contains further individual decrees that affected Philippines parishes as a whole and those that dealt more specifically with the chapel at Quingua many of which were issued from Manila but also many that were promulgated by more local authorities such as those at the parish level in Bulacan in which Quingua was located as well as several orders recorded directly from Spanish church authorities and at least one Papal decree. The final major component of the present work comprises numerous sermons homilies and pastoral letters given by visiting priests or relating to specific occasions. In all the present manuscript volume contains hundreds of individual documents many of which likely do not survive or are not recorded in any other form and which serve to chronicle the lives of the friars of this small outpost at an incredibly granular and detailed level. Additionally these documents are signed or issued by many significant figures in the history of the Catholic Church in the Philippines. The book as indicated in the manuscript title was initiated by Friar Santos Gomez Marañon who spent over half of his life in the Philippines and eventually became the Bishop of Cebu. Many of the documents from the 1830s are signed by Friar Francisco Manuel Blanco who began his church career in the Philippines in nearby Angat and became renowned as a botanist with his authorship of the first comprehensive flora of the islands. An outstanding and extensive manuscript volume on Catholic law administration and practice in the rural Philippines spanning over thirty years of the 19th century. unknown books

188950236New York: John B. Alden 1889. 16mo. Staple-bound printed paper wrappers; 6-298pp ads. Marginal staining to upper margin of last three leaves else a tight clean respectable copy free of markings or excessive wear. One of hundreds if not thousands of nicely-produced but inexpensive books and booklets issued by populist publisher John Berry Alden whose "Publishing Revolution" of the 1880s developed the potential for high-volume low-priced books for the masses paving the way for such successors as Haldeman-Julius and Henry Altemus. Such publishers favored works that were out of copyright and by issuing titles under the guise of serial publications such as Alden's "Elzevir Library" here allowed mass-market publishers to take advantage of highly favorable postal rates for periodicals. Though issued in the hundreds of thousands Alden's publications were never intended for a bibliophile audience and tended not to survive - OCLC notes only a single location for this title for example PENN.
