Remembering Antônia Teixeira : a story of missions, violence, and institutional hypocrisy / by Parsons, Mikeal C.1957-Author(Mikeal Carl),(DLC)n 88608449 ; Chaves, João B.,Author(DLC)no2022098867;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 195-211) and indexes.Uncover the truth about the scandal that shook the Texas Baptist community, buried for over a century. In 1894 Steen Morris raped Antônia Teixeira. Both had been guests in the house of Baylor University president Rufus Burleson. The assault took place in Burleson's backyard and was the first of a series of assaults that eventually left the young Baylor student pregnant. Rather than hold the guilty party accountable, Rufus Burleson and other prominent members of the Baptist community in Waco launched a campaign of intimidation, victim-blaming, and cover-up to preserve the virtuous image of their institution. In Remembering Antônia Teixeira , Mikeal C. Parsons and João B. Chaves painstakingly peel back the layers of concealment that have accumulated over a century of enforced silence about the case. Beginning with Antonia's father Antônio Teixeira, a priest who had renounced Catholicism and become a pillar of the Baptist community in Brazil, Parsons and Chaves uproot romanticized and hagiographical accounts of the Southern Baptist Convention's foreign missions. They then follow Antônia's journey north, her assault, and the subsequent scandal that shook Texas-until it was intentionally erased. Iconoclastic and meticulous, Remembering Antônia Teixeira calls attention to how religious institutions have used selective memory to maintain power. In doing so, this book takes a first step toward dismantling those structures of oppression.

Slavery and the American founding : hope and hypocrisy in the age of Enlightenment / by Pfister, Jude M.,author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index.Prelude in War -- The Enlightenment : Europe -- The Enlightenment : America -- Slavery and the Colonies, 1619-1765 -- Slavery and the Colonies/States, 1765-1800 -- Freedom and Liberty in the Western World -- The Declaration of Independence -- The American Revolution -- The Constitution and the Toxicity of Slavery."Since 1776, America's Founding mythology has attempted to portray the Founding generation as creating a new world were liberty and freedom were the inherent birthright of all peoples. We now can acknowledge that the Founders created a country conceived in liberty and freedom for themselves. The Founders, while brilliant, were nonetheless human. The enslaved, women, and other minorities were not part of the original Founding documents. "All men created equal" was a political statement, not some ethereal message of Enlightenment understanding. This book demonstrates that to understand the American Founding is to understand the totality of America. This country endured one of the most horrific civil wars in world history. That tragedy began with the American Founding and the so-called compromises entered into by state delegates to ensure national unity. Their conscious decisions, where alternatives existed to reject enslavement, defined the period from 1765 to 1800. Enslavement, and the advent of racial enslavement was a determined development of the North American colonies. Two of the most debated words from the Age of Enlightenment, freedom and liberty, not only made America independent, but also made it dependent on an execrable system rejected by most of the European thinkers who inspired the uprising against Britain."--
