This thesis seeks to offer new perspectives on the role of women in African-American Christian denominations in the United States in the period between the Civil War and the turn of the twentieth century. It situates the changes in the roles available to black women in their churches in the context of ecclesiastical politics. By offering explanations of the growth of black denominations in the South after the Civil War and the political alignments in the leadership of the churches, it seeks to offer more powerful explanations of differences in the treatment of women in distict denominations. It explores the distinct worship practices of African-American Christianity and reflects on their relationship to denominational structure and character, and gender issues. Education was central to the participation of women in African-American Christianity in the late nineteenth century, so the thesis discusses the growth of black colleges under the auspices of the black churches. Finally it also explores the complex relationship between domestic ideology, the politics of respectability, and female participation in the black churches.

The rites for the consecration (ordination) of bishops in the churches listed in the title are examined against the background of the development of episcopal functions through the centuries, the controversies about the nature of the episcopate as a third order of ministry, and recent statements about the nature of episcopal ministry. Four issues are isolated as being paramount for understanding the present position of the episcopate in the West: (1) the development of the doctrine of apostolic succession; (2) the theological controversies concerning the relation of the episcopate to the presbyterate; (3) in Roman Catholicism, the papal claims to an immediate jurisdiction superior to the bishops' ; and (4) in Anglicanism, with major consequence for all subsequent ecumenical discussion, the effect of the Oxford Movement with its insistence upon the importance of the historic episcopate. Three sets of contemporary documents are analysed to see how they have dealt with the four issues in light of the needs of the contemporary Church: (1) from the documents of Vatican II, the second chapter of Lumen Gentium and the pastoral decree, Christus Dominus; (2) from the Faith and Order Commission of the World Council of Churches, the agreed statement drafted at Accra in 1974, The Ordained Ministry in Ecumenical Perspective; and (3) the preparatory papers and subsequent reports of the 1978 Lambeth Conference. The five rites are then examined to see how they reflect both the historical issues and the positions set forth in the recent documents. The examination of the rites is divided into two parts. First, the rites themselves are reproduced in full as head-notes with accompanying historical and liturgical annotations. Then, at the end of each rite, there is an essay discussing how the issues raised in the first three chapters have been treated and the Implications for understanding the issues in terms of text and rubric, A final essay deals with the lections appointed to be read in the services, comparing and contrasting the choices made, discussing the implications of those choices, and considering how they might be used as the basis for the ordination sermon. The final chapter summarizes the liturgical and theological approaches represented by the rites and discusses briefly how, on the basis of those rites, the ministry of bishops is to be understood in the churches which employ them.

Veremos que através deste controle religioso a mulher negra recebeu maior atenção por parte da igreja, quando observamos que elas se constituíram a maior parte do rol de punidos. Assim, nossa pesquisa centrou-se na análise da cidade de Mariana, em Minas Gerais, entre os anos de 1722 e 1793. A partir das devassas será possível analisar a estrutura das visitas bem como suas relações com o Santo Ofício da Inquisição de Portugal. Por fim, são investigadas as relações entre as punições e os delitos, ao analisar os casos de concubinato e feitiçaria. / The objective of this study is to understand the role of the Catholic Church on the population of Mariana regarding the control of morals and morality, from a widely used tool: the episcopal visitations. We will see that through this religious control, black women received more attention from the Church, when we observed that they constituted the largest part of punished people. Thus, our research focused on the analysis of the city of Mariana, Minas Gerais, between 1722 and 1793. From wanton, it will be possible to analyze the structure of visits as well as its relations with the Holy Office of the Inquisition in Portugal. Finally, we analyze the relationships between punishments and offenses, to analyze cases of concubinage and sorcery.

Veremos que através deste controle religioso a mulher negra forra recebeu a maior atenção por parte da Igreja, orientada por um projeto que esteve ao longo de todo o século XVIII pautado pelas Visitações Eclesiásticas. Assim, nossa pesquisa centrou-se na análise da cidade de Mariana, em Minas Gerais, entre os anos de 1722 e 1743. Abordamos a explosão das manumissões como um fator essencial tanto para o Estado português quanto para a Igreja Católica acreditarem que esta cidade deveria receber uma maior atenção. Desta forma, era preciso organizar a população nos moldes europeus. O modo encontrado pela Igreja baseou-se nas incursões religiosas em solo colonial através destas Visitações. / This work aimed to understand the Catholic Church performance on the population of Minas Gerais in relation to the moral control. It will be seen that, through this religious control, the free black women have received a large attention from the Church, that was guided by a project based on Ecclesiastical Visitations throughout the century XVIII. This study focused on the analysis of the city of Mariana, in the state of Minas Gerais, from 1722 to 1743. The manumissions boom is considered in this work as an essential factor so that the Portuguese state and the Catholic Church believed that this city should receive a bigger attention. This way, it was necessary to organize the population in the European standards. The manner found by the Church was based on religious incursions in the colony through these visitations.
