Women of faith and the Northern Ireland troubles: From community to high politics
Religious Women and Peacebuilding during the Northern Ireland ‘Troubles’
The focus of this essay is on the critical and various roles, still largely unrecognised, played by religious women during the conflict in Northern Ireland. Working at the margins of society rather than in the corridors of power, they made important contributions to peace-building that ranged from grass-roots activism to secret talks. As well as contributing to the crucial work of community groups, educating the young and tending to the old, reli…

Religious Women and the Northern Ireland Troubles
The article uses research from an ongoing oral history project examining the peacebuilding work of religious women during the conflict in and about Northern Ireland, euphemistically known as the “Troubles.” The focus is on religious women whose peacebuilding activism was motivated by faith. Since 2015 the project has recorded religious women in conversation about their lives serving the working‐class communities that bore the brunt of the violenc…

British Nuclear Culture: Official and Unofficial Narratives in the Long 20 th Century . By Jonathan Hogg
Jonathan Hogg has sought to do for British Cold War history what Paul Boyer achieved in 1985 with his cultural study of America’s nuclear age, By the Bomb’s Early Light . As Hogg notes, it was arguably Tony Shaw’s research on British Cold War cinema, published in 2001, which turned the cultural lens onto the British Cold War. Hogg’s work builds on the BJHS 2012 special issue on British nuclear culture, which offered various new perspectives. Offi…

From Bridge to Divide: East–West Relations and Christianity during the Second World War and Early Cold War
This article explores the use made of Christianity during the Second World War and the dilemmas created for the Allies by Stalin's religious record. It is particularly concerned with the way in which Christianity appeared for a while to become a bridge between East and West, with the explicit promise of continued post-war co-operation. However, in the immediate aftermath of the war, Anglo-American policies in particular switched from using Christ…

Ecclesiastical McCarthyism: Cold War Repression in the Church of England
The fact that Cold War culture was imbued with a religious dimension had a profound impact on the conduct of the churches. While it remains difficult to determine the extent and degree of repression that informed British domestic affairs in the absence of a study like David Caute's The Great Fear, an examination of how the Church of England treated its left-wing priests during the McCarthy era illustrates that there was a British version of McCar…
Christian co-operation and the ecumenical ideal in the 1930s and 1940s
This article looks at the early ecumenical movement and the difficulties confronting Christian co-operation. It is particularly concerned with co-operation between the Roman and non-Roman churches. It explores how a combination of institutional suspicion, individual prejudice, and political considerations at both the national and international level, exacerbated an already complex and difficult situation caused by deep doctrinal divisions and anc…

The Archbishop of York and Anglo–American RelationsDuring the Second World War and Early Cold War, 1942–1955
This article addresses the relationship which developed during the Second World War and first decade of Cold War between the Foreign Office and one of Britain’s leading Anglican clerics, Cyril Forster Garbett, archbishop of York 1942–55, widely respected as a liberal and the “conscience of the nation.” It offers a model case study of relations between church and state by drawing upon state papers as well as upon ecclesiastical ones. It illustrate…

Revolutionary ferment in Finland and the origins of the civil war 1917–1918
Finland on the eve of independence was a country in which the great mass of the population lived on and earned its living from the land. Of the total 1917 population figure of 3,345,660, 84 per cent still lived in the countryside. Almost two-thirds of the population were dependent upon farming and forestry for their livelihood. In comparison with Sweden, the rate of population growth in Finland after 1860 was higher; but Finland's economic abilit…
