Â Arliss Ungar: Thomas Starr King

It is justice, Starr King said, which, thus far in human experience, has been heaving the foundations of society, that some of its principles may gain a solid place.
When Starr King came to California, he wrote articles on his travels to such places as Yosemite, Lake Tahoe, Mt. Diablo and the mining camps for the Boston Evening Transcript.
“King’s reliance on the immortality of the individual mind,” said JB Fox, a minister and an editor, “was stronger than any capitalist can possibly feel in the solidest investment.”

Â The Boxwood Press - Thomas Starr King

DESPITE a revival of interest in the Civil War, the labors of Thomas Starr King are largely forgotten.
Starr King's story, retold with the aid of previously unpublished writings, is one of the most compelling to come out of the time when California was truly part of the Wild West.
King traveled widely, exerting a civilizing effect throughout mining camps in Gold Rush territory.

Â Original Artwork: Mark Schuler: Thomas Starr King

Slight of build and golden haired, Starr King, as he was often called, greeted his audience with a rich, resounding voice, a clearness of thought and a winning smile that quickly convinced people of the rightness of his cause.
Before he turned fifteen, King's youth was devastated by the death of his father.
King proved himself good for many things in California, pulling his parish out of debt and, most importantly, winning the citizens to the cause of the Union.

Â Thomas Starr King

In 1913, the state legislature voted Thomas Starr King and Father Junipero Serra, the Catholic missionary, as California’s two greatest heroes and appropriated funds for King’s statue at the U.S. Capitol.
King covered his pulpit with an American flag and ended all his sermons with "God bless the president of the United States and all who serve with him the cause of a common country." At one mass rally in San Francisco, 40,000 turned out to hear him speak.
That fiery passion would be King’s stock in trade during his years in California, from 1860 to 1864.

Following his service in Boston, from 1848 to 1860, Starr King became minister of the Unitarian Church of San Francisco.
One cryptic sentence attributed to Starr King is: “The Universalists think God is too good to damn them forever; the Unitarians think they are too good to be damned forever.”
This son of a Universalist minister (who died when Starr was fifteen) had to work to support his family.

Â Dreams and Dreaming: Oct. 7

I had the good fortune to study dreams in a class with Jeremy Taylor when I was in California, while I was studying to become a Unitarian Universalist minister at the Thomas Starr King School.
Taylor has been working with dreams for nearly 40 years, and is the author of several books, including one titled “When People Fly and Water Runs Uphill”.

Â Thomas Ã Becket - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ken Follett's novel, The Pillars of the Earth is a fictional account of the struggles between the church and gentry, culminating in the assassination and martyrdom of Becket by Henry's men.
That election took place in May, and Thomas was consecrated on June 3, 1162, in accordance with the king's wishes.
His firmness seemed about to meet with its reward when at last (1170) the pope was on the point of fulfilling his threats and excommunicating the king, and Henry, alarmed by the prospect, held out hopes of an agreement that would allow Thomas to return to England and resume his place.

Thomas Blood (1618- August 24, 1680) was an English Colonel who is best known for attempting to steal the Crown Jewels of England from the Tower of London in 1671.
King, Charles II met with Blood after the latter's trial.
Ossory and Buckingham were feuding, perhaps Blood's pardon was a warning that Buckingham, as the King's favourite and chief minister, was immune.

Â Florilegium urbanum - Politics - Party politics lead to civil disorder

One instance of this is that Thomas Austyn was always ready to contribute to John Norhampton's cause or, personally and with his men, to stand alongside John Norhampton and his supporters against the king, insofar as he was able and dared.
Usk goes on to describe the failed attempt by Northampton and his associates to win at all costs the election of 1383, followed by the effort to have the election annulled, leading in due course to their trial before the king.
Usk was shuffled off, and the king – provoked by Northampton's lack of deference, particularly his demand to have Gaunt present to speak for him – sentenced Northampton to be hung.
