Church Of St. Fabian And St. Sebastian, Sülze
The Church of St. Fabian and St. Sebastian () in Sülze (Bergen), Sülze, Lower Saxony, Germany is a church of the Evangelical-Lutheran parish in the church district (''Kirchenkreis'') of Celle and in the Evangelical-Lutheran State Church of Hanover. History of the parish From the time of the high Middle Ages (about 1000 to 1250), the villages in the present-day parish of Sülze belonged to the parish of St. Lambertus in Bergen (Landkreis Celle), Bergen. However, poor road conditions and the resulting poor attendance at the church in Bergen led in 1475 to efforts by the Duke of Celle, Frederick II, Duke of Brunswick-Lüneburg, Frederick the Pious, to build a chapel dedicated to Saint Fabian and Saint Sebastian in Sülze. To begin with the chapel was not given its own rector (ecclesiastical), rectorate, but was looked after by the priest at Bergen, who celebrated mass there once a week. In 1502 a church foundation was established by brothers Carsten and Otto von Harling, and an E ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Kohlenbach
Kohlenbach is a village in the parish of Eversen which belongs to the town of Bergen on the Lüneburg Heath in Celle district in the north German state of Lower Saxony. History Kohlenbach is a farmstead on the edge of the municipality of Eversen in a wood called the Garßener Holz. The small stream of Kohlenbach flows immediately past it and gives the hamlet its name.

Altensalzkoth
Altensalzkoth is a village in the Lower Saxon town of Bergen in north Germany. It belongs to the parish of Eversen in the district of Celle on the Lüneburg Heath. It lies 13 km north of Celle on the ''Landesstraße'' L 240 and currently has 65 inhabitants. History The history of Altensalzkoth is closely bound to the saltworks in Sülze. When the moors in the vicinity of Sülze were exhausted, the boiling sites were moved initially to the Bornrieth Moor from 1673 to 1678. In 1719 the first discussions took place about moving the boiling sites again, because the Bornrieth Moor was also being exhausted. To achieve this the existing pipes to the moor from Lindhorst along the Örtze, were moved eastwards past Eversen to the ''Scheuer Bruch'', south of Sülze, in the newly established village of Altensalzkoth. The survey staff charged with organising the move described this new site on their maps as ''Alte Salz kath'', from which the present name of the village was later de ...

Protestant Reformation
The Reformation, also known as the Protestant Reformation or the European Reformation, was a time of major theological movement in Western Christianity in 16th-century Europe that posed a religious and political challenge to the papacy and the authority of the Catholic Church. Towards the end of the Renaissance, the Reformation marked the beginning of Protestantism. It is considered one of the events that signified the end of the Middle Ages and the beginning of the early modern period in Europe. The Reformation is usually dated from Martin Luther's publication of the '' Ninety-five Theses'' in 1517, which gave birth to Lutheranism. Prior to Martin Luther and other Protestant Reformers, there were earlier reform movements within Western Christianity. The end of the Reformation era is disputed among modern scholars. In general, the Reformers argued that justification was based on faith in Jesus alone and not both faith and good works, as in the Catholic view. In the ...

Enfeoffment
In the Middle Ages, especially under the European feudal system, feoffment or enfeoffment was the deed by which a person was given land in exchange for a pledge of service. This mechanism was later used to avoid restrictions on the passage of title in land by a system in which a landowner would give land to one person for the use of another. The common law of estates in land grew from this concept. Etymology The word ''feoffment'' derives from the Old French or ; compare with the Late Latin">-4; we might wonder whether there's a point at which it's appropriate to talk of the beginnings of French, that is, when it wa ... or ; compare with the Late Latin . England In English law, feoffment was a transfer of land or property that gave the new holder the right to sell it as well as the right to pass it on to his heirs as an inheritance.

Intercessory Prayer
Intercession or intercessory prayer is the act of praying on behalf of others, or asking a saint in heaven to pray on behalf of oneself or for others. The Apostle Paul's exhortation to Timothy specified that intercession prayers should be made for all people. Christianity In the early Church The early Christians continued to practice intercessory prayer on behalf of others after Jesus' death. Ignatius of Antioch was one man who exhorted Christians to continue to pray for others, and especially for those who became Docetists or held other heretical beliefs. In his letter to the churches of Smyrna, St. Ignatius exhorts the Christians there to pray for other people: "only you must pray to God for them, if by any means they may be brought to repentance, which, however, will be very difficult. Yet Jesus Christ, who is our true life, has the power of ffectingthis". Throughout all of Ignatius's letters, the word for prayers of intercession appears nineteen times, and Ignatius ask ...
