Scandal of Grace

Esther Olayemi Thomas

Summary

Someone once said, “Don’t just respect crowns. Respect scars.” This is what the book, Scandal of Grace is about – walking you through a process of a grace so scandalous, yet unbelievably beautiful on the other side.

Grace Alexander, our main character, is wary of everyone who comes into her life, after a series of very traumatic events. She battles with the definition of her identity, and what part God is to play in her story. She navigates her teenage years with her two best friends, Claudia, and Jeremiah, until she meets Stephen.

There’s a lot of drama in Grace’s class. Her past remains a mystery until an inevitable moment of truth. Claudia holds a grudge. Grace struggles with her newfound reality, as life seems unfair.

Is there truly a God? Does happiness really exist or is it only a facade? How will Grace come to terms with the truth? How will her friends accept this change?

He rescues Ben Ravage, an orphan, from a trade school and sends him off to Harvard to earn a law degree. But upon his return, Ben rejects the chance to escape his gritty origins and instead becomes a detective for the Kehilla, a quixotic gang backed by wealthy uptown patrons to help the police rid the Lower East Side of criminals. Charged with rooting out the Jewish "Mr. Hyde," a half-mad villain who attacks the prostitutes of Allen Street, Ben discovers that his fate is irrevocably tied to that of this violent, sinister man.

Educating in Faith - A History...

Mark Cleary

Roman Catholic public schools in England emerged from the early 1800s as part of the wider educational mission of a Catholic church seeking to support a growing Catholic population.

 
Around a dozen such schools – male, boarding, upper class and staffed by priests, monks and brothers from the dioceses and religious orders – had emerged by the early twentieth century. Some – Ampleforth, Stonyhurst, St Edmund’s, Beaumont, the Oratory, Downside, or Prior Park – catered for an aristocratic clientele, whilst others – Douai, Mt St Mary, Ratcliffe or Cotton – sought more middle class pupils. Their objectives were similar: the creation of a new Catholic elite which might take its place in the Establishment.

 
By the mid-twentieth century, they were at their zenith, but at the millennium they faced the challenges of declining vocations to the religious life, a stagnant Catholic population, and a series of child sexual abuse cases.

 
Educating in Faith seeks to place a diverse set of school histories within the wider demographic, social and religious development of Roman Catholicism in England. It seeks to move beyond the finer detail of school histories to better understand the place of the public schools within the Catholic educational mission and the nature of the academic, cultural and spiritual character of these institutions. As co-education, increasing competition, the disappearance of a religious workforce in the schools and the child sexual abuse crises altered school environments, the book reflects on the contemporary relevance, place and character of these schools.
