摘要

摘要:1785 年至 1789 年,约翰-马兰特是新斯科舍省的卫理公会传教士,为大英帝国在北美战败后安置在那里的黑人保皇党难民服务。他的日记发表于 1790 年,记录了他多次布道以及帮助定居者向殖民地政府请愿以获得补给的情况。学者们对日志中揭示的马兰特神学进行了探讨。我将重点转向社区主义,研究它如何将流离失所者社区的痕迹融入两种体裁:即席布道和请愿书。每种体裁都是口头和书面的桥梁,并以社区或集体为基础。马兰特用速记法记录了听众对他布道的回应,我对此进行了研究;我还从他在返回英格兰途中在波士顿发表的布道中汲取了素材。由于缺乏新斯科舍省的请愿书,我参考了前往塞拉利昂的黑人忠于英国者现存的请愿书,以及马兰特对他与新斯科舍省请愿定居者互动的描述。

John Marrant's Nova Scotia Journal Writes Displaced Communities

Abstract:

John Marrant was a Methodist missionary in Nova Scotia from 1785 to 1789, serving Black Loyalist refugees settled there by the British Empire after its North American defeat. His journal, published in 1790, records numerous occasions when he preached, as well as helping settlers petition the colonial government for supplies. Scholars have explored Marrant's theology as revealed in the Journal. I shift the focus toward communalism, examining the ways it incorporates traces of communities of displaced people in two genres: the extempore sermon and the petition. Each bridges the oral and the written and is grounded in a community or collectivity. Marrant noted his hearers' responses to his sermons in a shorthand, which I examine; I also draw from a published sermon he preached in Boston on his way back to England. Lacking the Nova Scotia petitions, I turn to surviving petitions by Black Loyalists who traveled to Sierra Leone, as well as Marrant's descriptions of his interactions with the petitioning Nova Scotia settlers.
