＜p＞Though the sabbatical year occurs every 7th year, this was my first sabbatical after 30 years of ministry. I needed to get away and cease my labors for I had buried too many beloved parishioners in the 24 years of service in my present parish. Graciously, my parish sent me off to Israel for 28 days. I spent 3 weeks in Jerusalem and 1 week in Galilee. I also took side trips to Herodian, Bethlehem, Masada, Qumran, and Beit Shean. I traveled alone and by foot most of the time. I set my own agenda day by day. From early morning to late afternoon I would walk from site to site observing and taking pictures. I carried two guide books and Bible and a camera and little else. At each site I would sit and read the pertinent scriptures. Each evening I spent several hours writing, describing what I had seen and my reflections about it. The reflections are mostly Biblical and theological but also historical and political. I never thought I would go to Israel - now I never stop thinking about it.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。

＜p＞There is no better way to see America than on foot. And there is no better way to appreciate what you are looking at than with a walking tour. Whether you are preparing for a road trip or just out to look at your own town in a new way, a downloadable walking tour is ready to explore when you are.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Each walking tour describes historical and architectural landmarks and provides pictures to help out when those pesky street addresses are missing. Every tour also includes a quick primer on identifying architectural styles seen on American streets.＜/p＞ ＜p＞John Lynch, who was only 17 at that time, established a ferry at a difficult ford in the James River in 1757. Over the years dwellings sprung up on the navigable river near his ferry house. Lynch expanded his enterprises himself in the 1780s when he constructed a tobacco warehouse on his land north of the river. In 1784 the ambitious Lynch petitioned the Virginia General Assembly to authorize a town charter for his little fiefdom. In 1786 his request was granted to establish "a town on the lands of Lynch in the County Campbell."＜/p＞ ＜p＞The new town was raised on tobacco, a variation known as dark leaf tobacco suited for chewing and rolling cigars. Hiogsheads of tobacco from the surrounding farms arrived at the James River and were poled down to Richmond in flat bateaux boats. By the time John Lynch died in 1820 at the age of 80 the town that developed on the hills surrounding his old ferry was well on its way to being the industrial star of southwestern Virginia. Thomas Jefferson wrote, "Lynchburg is perhaps the most rising place in the U.S.... It ranks now next to Richmond in importance..." In the years before the Civil War Lynchburg was among the richest towns per capita in the country.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Tobacco also kickstarted the Lynchburg economic engine following the Civil War. In 1882 Lynchburg native revolutionized the tobacco industry by inventing a cigarette rolling machine. Within five years more than 30,000,000 pounds of tobacco were marketed from Lynchburg. The foundation laid by tobacco led to a thriving trade in iron and steel. Its shoe factories were among the busiest in America. For a time the world's largest tannin extract plant operated here.＜/p＞ ＜p＞The 1880s to 1930s brought Lynchburg's greatest prosperity and the downtown area retains a wealth of commercial buildings from this era that we will see on our walking tour but first we will begin where the town began, at the site of John Lynch's ferry...＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。

Whether you are preparing for a road trip or just out to look at your own town in a new way, a downloadable walking tour is ready to explore when you are.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Each walking tour describes historical and architectural landmarks and provides pictures to help out when those pesky street addresses are missing. Every tour also includes a quick primer on identifying architectural styles seen on American streets.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Roughly translated from the Narragansett dialect as "the place by the waterfall," Pawtucket is one of two Rhode Island cities - Woonsocket is the other - to retain its native place name since its settlement -. It is an appropriate honorific as those falls have played the critical part in the city's growth since that beginning.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Thick stands of timber and rocky hills prevented the Rhode Islanders who followed Roger Williams from spreading out to the north after the 1630s. It was not until 1671 that Joseph Jencks, Jr., a blacksmith, became the first European to move into what would become Pawtucket. He eyed the falls where the Blackstone River narrows before reaching the tidal flow of Narragansett Bay as a source of power for his forge. He crafted plows, scythes and other iron household items and was successful enough that other smiths soon set up shop along the Blackstone.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Pawtucket became a manufacturing center and a favorite stopping place for travelers on the Boston Post Road through the colonies. During the American Revolution the forges churned out ammunition and muskets for the patriot cause. In 1789 Moses Brown, of the influential Providence Brown family, became interested in the machine manufacture of thread and he chose the falls in Pawtucket as the site for his first mill. A power spinning-frame had been invented in England some years before enabling fine English cloth to gain a stranglehold on the world market. Power spinning had been attempted unsuccessfully in New York and the English, desperate to keep the technology looked on its island, passed laws rendering the divulgence of its secret almost on a par with treason.＜br /＞ However, a young farmer newly arrived in America named Samuel Slater had been a master mechanic in Nottingham and just happened to have full knowledge of the spinning frame committed to memory. He contacted Brown and together they commenced the Industrial Revolution in America with the first successful spinning mill just downstream from Pawtucket Falls.＜/p＞ ＜p＞With its fortunes cast as an industrial town Pawtucket now grew rapidly. New streets were built and rapidly filled in with houses, factories and shops. But the jurisdiction under which the town grew was always a bit murky. The Blackstone River was the Rhode Island-Massachusetts boundary line until 1862 and the community grew up as two different units on either side of the river. The west side began as part of Providence and the east side as part of Rehoboth, Massachusetts. Pawtucket, Massachusetts was established in 1828 while on the Rhode Island side the community was part of New Providence that had broken off in 1765. For many years this was the largest community in the United States operating under town government. It was not until 1886 that Pawtucket filed its city charter and not until 1899 that the border dispute with Massachusetts was finally settled and included cession of the Pawtucket area to Rhode Island.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Our walking tour of downtown Pawtucket will take in both sides of the historic Blackstone River and see what remains of this important American industrial city. We'll start down by the river where there is an unusual city hall and those mills that Samuel Slater carried around in his head...＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。

＜p＞There is no better way to see America than on foot. And there is no better way to appreciate what you are looking at than with a walking tour. This walking tour of Salisbury, Maryland is ready to explore when you are. Each walking tour describes historical, architectural landmarks, cultural sites and ecclesiastic touchstones and provides step-by-step directions.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Every tour also includes a quick primer on identifying architectural styles seen on American streets.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Salisbury Towne was created by an act of legislation introduced by John Caldwell to create a county seat for Somerset County. Caldwell claimed that "there is a very convenient place for a town at the Head of the Wicomico River." Its identical physical character and nationality of the founders have convinced most historians the village's name was borrowed from the ancient cathedral city of Salisbury, England. A defect in the original town charter and the shallow harbor retarded growth for several decades. But by the 1750s Salisbury was a prosperous town, influenced in part by its chief promoter Caldwell who built the first dam on the east branch of the Wicomico and a bridge over the north branch.＜/p＞ ＜p＞During the 19th century, Salisbury was an active seaport, second only to the City of Baltimore and had been dubbed "the Hub of Delmarva. By 1817, the Downtown area had begun to emerge. The development concentrated itself along Bridge Street (Main Street), Dividing Street (Division Street),＜br /＞ and Church Street. When the railroad lumbered down the Delmarva Peninsula in the Civil War it terminated at Salisbury, further enhancing its status as the destination city of the Eastern Shore. Incorporated in 1854, Salisbury became the seat of government when Wicomico was carved off from Somerset and Worcester Counties in 1867.＜/p＞ ＜p＞The face of Salisbury today was influenced by two great fires. The first swept through the central business district in 1860, effectively wiping away the City's Colonial-era building stock. The commercial core was immediately rebuilt but on October 17, 1886 a small fire was discovered on Dock Street, now Market Street. The flames spread rapidly, so much so that the towns of Crisfield, Pocomoke City and Wilmington, Delaware loaded their fire department steamers on special railroad trains and sent them to Salisbury's aid. It took 17 hours to control the fire but over 200 buildings were lost. Only one building survived in the center of the City.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Afterwards city zoning law required that important buildings be made only of stone and brick as Salisbury roared back. With the coming of the automobile and its central spot on the lower Eastern Shore cemented the city's position as the largest city on the Eastern Shore. Our walking tour will start at that sole surviving building of the Great Fire of 1886 then explore the downtown area and finish in one of the original sections of Salisbury that has been made a historic district...＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。

＜p＞High demands are placed on every individual person not only by the current world situation, but by everyday life as well. Change has always been a component of mankind's development, but the speed and intensity of this change has increased markedly. In a globalized, high-tech information or data society in which life has become fast, abstract and seemingly very individualized, while at the same time, values and other guidelines are disintegrating or leading to dead-ends, humanity can become frustrating. "Walking the Streets" aims to lead readers along the path of reflection and a discussion of the currently predominant spirit of the times. The book does not claim to offer solutions or deeper insights but aspires to serve as a stimulus and recommendation to readers to take such a "walk" themselves. One of these possible paths is illustrated by John. Thrown off balance by the departure of his friend, he is initially stimulated to reflect on himself. Inevitably, his thoughts then lead him away from himself as an individual and towards societal issues. The focus of the book is ultimately on the issue of blueprinting a life worth living. John's companions, Socrates and Joanna, represent the inner turmoil between logic and emotion during his walk through the streets (of life).＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。
