Paperback. Condition: Very Good. In The Tortilla Star, Bette finds that love can come in different forms - one that unlike her professional work as an accountant, she doesn't control, that isn't orderly, and is highly unpredictable. Though she's six inches taller and hasn't gotten past Spanish 101, she relishes being drawn into a rich, passionate adventure with Marco, an undocumented immigrant. As a volunteer teaching English, she is introduced to a new culture which welcomes her into its folds of family, long-held customs, and fiestas, as well as poverty and racism. She experiences first-hand some of her students' challenges in the U.S. and also shares their joys - a child's first time in a swimming pool, the wonders of a county fair. On this journey with Marco and her other Mexican immigrant friends, she hopes desperately that her expanding sense of family will not dissolve as the government makes rules that destabilize their lives. …

Pamphlet. 31 p.; 21 cm. (Friends of Dr. Williams's Library ; 24th lecture) "When my coat has worn itself into an affectionate intimacy with my body, when it has served for Sunday best and for weekdays, and got weather stained out in the fields with wind and rain--then faithful it does not part from me but getting itself cut up into shreds and patches descends to form a hearthrug for ny feet. After that, when worn through, it goes into the kennel and keeps my dog warm, and so after the lapse of years retiring to the manure heap and passing out into the land, returns to me in the form of potatoes for my dinner; or being pastured by my sheep, reappears upon their backs as the material of new clothing. Thus it remains a friend to all time grateful to me for not having despised and thrown it away when it first got behind the fashions.And seeing that we have been faithful to each other,my coat and I,for one round or life-period,I do not see why we should not renew our intimacy in other metamorphoses or wny we should ever quite lose touch of each other through the aeons." (p. 21, paper read before the `Fellowship of the New Life' in January 1886) -- `The socialism destined to win the allegiance of the great mass of working people was not to be of this mystical, disciplined and self-renunciatory kind. On the contrary, the leaders who gave the movement a political cutting edge, and finally won through to power,were determined that the expropriated and under privileged should themselves enjoy the fruits of technology. .To Edward Carpenter socialism was a way of life; it presupposed a philosophy; it was the realisation within the community of a truly human brotherhood.'

Sherlock and the men of his time -- Epilogue -- Bibliography -- Index. -- `Bishop Gibson died on September 6, 1748 and was succeeded by Thomas Sherlock, who in virtue of his position as Bishop of London would be expected to undertake the care of the American Colonies. The first years witnessed his vigorous efforts to secure a resident Bench of Bishops but on his failure in this matter, he commenced a policy of inaction, by which he hoped to force the hands of the Government. He refused to seek legal authority for his jurisdiction and gave the least possible attention to American affairs. Such a desperate policy--for its results were little less than general anarchy in the American Church--can be justified by nothing but success: by this standard Sherlock's policy must be reckoned a failure and its ultimate result was not to force the hand of the Government to institute an American Episcopate, but to weaken the links which bound the Church life of the one country to the other, and to render the recovery of the English Church in America almost impossible. Just at the period when the Methodists in America were making enormous strides, the established Church was becoming weaker and weaker.' (p. 193 f.) --. Binding is Hardcover.…
