Silver stamping remains relatively bright against the maroon cloth. <p data-path-to-node="5">HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE -- Alma Bridwell White was a pioneer of the "Holiness Movement" and remains the first woman consecrated as a bishop in the United States. Her leadership of the Pillar of Fire Church in Zarephath New Jersey represented a radical departure from mainstream Methodism focusing on rigorous lifestyle restrictions including the vegetarianism detailed in this 1915 work.</p> <br /> <p data-path-to-node="6">White's legacy is deeply polarized. While 'Why I Do Not Eat Meat' showcases her progressive views on animal ethics and women's health it was written just years before she became a leading religious apologist for the Ku Klux Klan. This work is a vital artifact for the study of early 20th-century "fringe" religious movements and the often-contradictory intersection of social reform vegetarianism/feminism and nativist ideologies in American history.</p> <br /> <p data-path-to-node="7">SUBJECTS: Alma White Pillar of Fire Church Vegetarianism Animal Ethics Women in Religion New Jersey History Holiness Movement Religious Extremism Religious History Health & Wellness Social Reform.</p> The Pentecostal Union unknown
