The purpose of a study is to examine a particular incarnation of taxation - the imperial stamp duty imposed by the British Parliament on the American colonies briefly from 1765 to 1766, the demise of which is referred to as the "Stamp Act crisis." The version of stamp duty imposed on the colonies bore strong resemblance to that in operation in Great Britain with some modifications to accommodate colonial conditions. By the middle of the 18th century, a stamp duty had become an accepted part of the tax landscape in Britain, and the administrative machinery by which it was collected was firmly established. In view of this, the vehement rejection of a similar impost by the colonists was not a response that was either anticipated or expected. The response by the colonists can, it is argued,...

For the first time we are doing it in an age of instant media," she says. "The Internet makes it very easy to talk to each other across national and denominational boundaries in a way that wasn't possible before. "Email, the web and social media are allowing people to become connected in new ways," she says, adding that "they allow this new form of church to be a self-organizing system -- it is not dependent on central offices and structures. It's a leveler and egalitarian." "Like previous social, political, economic and religious upheavals, how we should respond is not always clear on a day-to-day basis," she says.

According to a survey by the Pew Research Center, a respected American "fact tank," the religious landscape in the United States is "extremely fluid" and "a very competitive marketplace. The survey's authors said the figures probably "understate the extent of religious movement taking place" in the United States. While there are net winners and losers in the survey, "all groups are gaining and losing individual adherents" in the competition to fill pews and collection plates. The notion that the Catholic Church is impervious to change is false. It has altered its views and principles many times over the centuries, reforming its liturgy and attitude toward other faiths in the process. Priestly celibacy, for example, was only introduced in the 11th century, a diversion from the previous ...
