Old Moster Church

Old Moster Church (Norwegian: Moster gamle kyrkje) is a parish church of the Church of Norway in Bømlo Municipality in Vestland county, Norway, and it is one of the oldest churches in all of Norway. It is located in the village of Mosterhamn on the island of Moster. It used to be the main church for the Moster parish which is part of the Sunnhordland prosti (deanery) in the Diocese of Bjørgvin. The white stone church was built in a long church design in the 12th century using plans drawn up by an unknown architect. The church seats about 80 people. History The Old Moster Church has a long and important history in Norway. According to tradition and the historian Snorri Sturluson, Norwegian King Olav Tryggvason built a church at Mosterhamn in the year 996 when Christianity was first introduced to Norway. Around the year 1024, the King Olaf II of Norway (later Saint Olaf) held a thing at Moster where the oldest Christian law was introduced in Norway, converting the kingdom to Christianity. The first church in Moster was possibly a wooden post church. Nothing is known about the old church. During the 12th century, the old church was torn down and a new stone church was built on the same site. The wall openings have Romanesque features, and the masonry is somewhat ancient in places, so archaeologists and historians believe the church was probably started around the year 1100 and completed around 1150. The church was built as a long church with a rectangular nave and a narrower, rectangular chancel. In 1814, this church served as an election church (Norwegian: valgkirke). Together with more than 300 other parish churches across Norway, it was a polling station for elections to the 1814 Norwegian Constituent Assembly which wrote the Constitution of Norway. This was Norway's first national elections. Each church parish was a constituency that elected people called "electors" who later met together in each county to elect the representatives for the assembly that was to meet at Eidsvoll Manor later that year. The old church only seated about 80 people, so by the mid-19th century, the church had become too small for the congregation, so a new Moster Church was built nearby in 1874. After the new church opened, this church was scheduled to be torn down, but the Society for the Preservation of Ancient Norwegian Monuments purchased it and then turned into a museum. It was restored by Peter Andreas Blix in 1896 to look like it historically did. The church is no longer used by the parish for regular worship, but it is still consecrated for use and so it is rarely used for special occasions. Design The church has a square, 5.9-by-6-metre (19 ft × 20 ft) choir and a rectangular, 12.4-by-8.1-metre (41 ft × 27 ft) nave and with an entrance in the western wall of the nave and one in the southern wall of the choir. The roof structures were replaced in the 18th century. The church is mainly built of soapstone from a quarry near the village of Lykling.

Iglesia vieja de Moster

La iglesia vieja de Moster es un edificio románico en Noruega. Se localiza en el pueblo de Mosterhamn, en la isla de Moster, dentro del municipio de Bømlo. Tradicionalmente se la ha considerado la iglesia más antigua de Noruega, pero las investigaciones no han podido comprobar esa hipótesis. Aunque no se sabe la fecha exacta de la construcción de la actual iglesia, se asume que fue antes de terminar el siglo XI. Es una sobria iglesia construida principalmente de esteatita, con techumbre de madera, aunque ésta en realidad procede de una remodelación del siglo XVIII. Consiste de una nave rectangular con puerta en el muro occidental, y un coro cuadrado con una puerta en el muro sur. La decoración interior, consistente de murales, data de la época posterior a la reforma en Noruega, los más antiguos de ca. 1600. El púlpito y el altar datan del siglo XVII, y la pila bautismal es de 1722. Snorri Sturluson narra que el rey Olaf II el Santo erigió una iglesia en este lugar en el año de 995. Además, ese mismo rey celebró en Moster la asamblea que impondría el derecho cristiano en Noruega, hacia el año de 1020. La iglesia pertenece a la Sociedad para la Conservación de Monumentos Antiguos Noruegos. Referencias Sociedad para la Conservación de Monumentos Antiguos Noruegos. «Moster gamle kirke» (en noruego).

It shared a priest with Buksnes Church until 1740 when it was transferred to the Borge prestegjeld (parish). In 1749, the church was destroyed during a powerful storm. In 1752, a new Valberg Church was completed, but not on the same site as before (it was built on the present church site). The church was a long church with no tower or sacristy. The walls were painted red with a tarred roof. Later, a tower was added to the roof. In 1814, this church served as an election church (Norwegian: valgkirke).

Andenes kirke

Die evangelisch-lutherische Andenes kirke (deutsch: Kirche von Andenes) ist die Kirche des Orts Andenes auf den Vesterålen im Norden der norwegischen Provinz (fylke) Nordland. Die weiße, aus Holz gebaute Kirche stammt aus dem Jahr 1876 und verfügt über 2 Glocken im Glockenturm. Der ursprüngliche Standort der Kirche von Andenes lag über mehrere Jahrhunderte weiter nördlich, nahe der Ecke der heutigen Straßen Falcksgate und Sjøgate. Sie lag damit am Rande des Gårdshaug von Andenes, einem „Siedlungshügel“, dem ältesten bekannten Siedlungsteil des Ortes. An dieser Stelle befinden sich heute noch von einer niedrigen Steinmauer umgeben die Reste des alten, jetzt denkmalgeschützten Friedhofs. Die älteste Erwähnung einer Kirche in Andenes stammt aus dem Jahr 1589. Von dieser Kirche sind zahlreiche Inventargegenstände aus dem späten 15. und 16. Jahrhundert erhalten. Das älteste Relikt ist jedoch eine Hallvard-Figur aus dem 13. Jahrhundert, was die Mutmaßung zulässt, dass es auch bereits vor 1589 eine Kirche in Andenes gegeben hatte. Aus der Zeit vor der Reformation liegen jedoch aus Nordnorwegen so gut wie keine historischen Aufzeichnungen vor. In den folgenden Jahrhunderten standen am selben Standort mindestens drei weitere Kirchen, welche die jeweils vorherige ersetzten. 1876 wurde dann die heute noch stehende Langkirche nach Plänen des Architekten Ingebrigt Julin an einem neuen Standort rund 500 Meter weiter südöstlich erbaut und im Zuge dessen unweit der neuen Kirche auch ein neuer Friedhof eingerichtet. Diese neue Holzkirche, die damals 400 Sitzplätze hatte, wurde am 30. Juni 1876 von Bischof Hvoslef geweiht. Da die neue Kirche nicht auf felsigem Grund gebaut war, gab später der Untergrund nach und sie musste auf der Nordseite abgestützt werden. 1966 wurde die Kirche umfassend renoviert, hat seither noch 300 Sitzplätze und die wertvollen Einrichtungsgegenstände aus dem Mittelalter wurden an das Tromsø Museum übergeben. Die Kirche von Andenes steht seit 2001 unter Denkmalschutz. Weblinks Einzelnachweise

Hol Church (Nordland)

Hol Church (Norwegian: Hol kirke) is a parish church of the Church of Norway in Vestvågøy Municipality in Nordland county, Norway. It is located on the southeastern edge of the town of Leknes on the island of Vestvågøya. It is the church for the Hol parish which is part of the Lofoten prosti (deanery) in the Diocese of Sør-Hålogaland. The white, wooden church was built in a cruciform style in 1806 using plans drawn up by an unknown architect. The church seats about 300 people. History Hol Church is the second oldest church in the island region of Lofoten, and it dates back to at least the mid-14th century. The earliest existing historical record of the church dates back to the year 1417, but the church was not new at that time. In 1666, the church was described as being in terrible condition. In 1725, the church was described as being in disrepair and in need of replacement. In 1734, the old church was torn down and a new church was rebuilt on the same site. The new church was a "long church" without a tower and it was approximately 17 by 7 metres (56 ft × 23 ft). The altarpiece is most likely the work of Gottfried Ezekiel (ca. 1719–1798). He arrived in Bergen from the Baltic Sea town of Königsberg in 1744, after he received a commission as a painter. By 1751, he arrived in northern Norway where he painted a number of altarpieces for local churches. Over time the church deteriorated and was repaired. By 1804, the church was in such bad shape that it was completely rebuilt. Some of the old materials were re-used in the new church. The newly rebuilt church was finished in 1806 and this time it was a log building in a cruciform design and a hipped roof. Petter Svaboe from Vågan was the chief builder of the new church. In 1814, this church served as an election church (Norwegian: valgkirke). Together with more than 300 other parish churches across Norway, it was a polling station for elections to the 1814 Norwegian Constituent Assembly which wrote the Constitution of Norway. This was Norway's first national elections. Each church parish was a constituency that elected people called "electors" who later met together in each county to elect the representatives for the assembly that was to meet at Eidsvoll Manor later that year. The cemetery at Hol Church was closed in 1830 since it was full and people had to be buried at the nearby Buksnes Church. In 1859, the church underwent a major renovation and repair work. A new cemetery was opened at Petvik in 1905 and people from Hol Church have been buried there since that time.

Old Værøy Church

Old Værøy Church (Norwegian: Værøy gamle kirke) is a historic parish church of the Church of Norway in Værøy Municipality in Nordland county, Norway. It is located in the village of Nordland on the northern side of the island of Værøya. It used to be the main church for the Værøy parish which is part of the Bodø domprosti (deanery) in the Diocese of Sør-Hålogaland. The red, wooden church was built in a long church style in 1714 (in another location) and it was moved to its present location in 1799. It is the oldest church in Lofoten that is still in use. History The earliest existing historical records of the church date back to the year 1589, but the church was not new that year. The first church on the island of Værøya was built in the village of Nordland, probably during the 1400s. Around the year 1599, the old church building was either heavily repaired or torn down and rebuilt. In 1750, the church was described as a low, wooden building with bracing beams on the north side to help strengthen the wall. In 1790, strong winds heavily damaged the church during a storm. The church was torn down and plans for its replacement began immediately. Rather than building a new church on the site, it was decided to purchase the Vaagan Church (built in 1714) in the nearby village of Kabelvåg (in what is now Vågan Municipality). This church was too small for the congregation, so they were planning to build a new church anyway. So in 1799, the church was disassembled and moved to Værøy where it was rebuilt. Some furniture from the old church still exists in today's church. The church was a long church design with no tower. In 1814, this church served as an election church (Norwegian: valgkirke). Together with more than 300 other parish churches across Norway, it was a polling station for elections to the 1814 Norwegian Constituent Assembly which wrote the Constitution of Norway. This was Norway's first national elections. Each church parish was a constituency that elected people called "electors" who later met together in each county to elect the representatives for the assembly that was to meet at Eidsvoll Manor later that year. The church underwent extensive remodeling and renovations from 1828 until 1837. During the 1880s, a storm ravaged the church and it again needed rebuilding. During the rebuilding, the choir was extended by one-third and the sacristy was also enlarged. Major repair work was also undertaken in 1919. In 1939, rather than replacing the aging church, it was decided to build a new Værøy Church in the village of Sørland on the south side of the island, where most residents lived. The new church became the main church for the parish, and the old church was renamed "Old Værøy Church". The old church is still used for worship services about once each month.

Mission Covenant Church of Norway

The Mission Covenant Church of Norway (Norwegian: Misjonskirken Norge, formerly Det Norske Misjonsforbund, DNM) is an assembly of dissident or free Christian churches founded in 1884 through the encouragement of the Swedish-American evangelist Fredrik Franson. Gustav Adolph Lammers, the role model for Ibsen's Brand, is perceived as the spiritual father of the Mission Covenant Church of Norway. Today it comprises ninety-nine independent churches scattered all over Norway. The Mission Covenant Church of Norway is registered as a separate denomination, but each individual with the association has the freedom to practice the beliefs of their respective Norwegian Church groups. Each member is also free to practice their own forms of Holy Communion and baptism (infant baptism vs. adult baptism). Its churches' work involves church services, Sunday schools, scout, and youth associations. The Mission Covenant Church of Norway predominantly emphasizes evangelism and missionary work. The Mission Covenant Church of Norway has about eight-thousand two hundred registered members – in addition to those who have chosen to remain as members of the Church of Norway. Stagedive is a camp organized by the church each year and held all over Norway for youths between twelve and sixteen years. Henrik Ibsen's Brand The first dissident congregation in Norway was established by the priest in Skien, Gustav Adolph Lammers, who resigned from his post in the Church of Norway. Lammers is perceived as a role model for the character Brand in the play of the same name. Ibsen's mother and especially his sister, Hedvig, were ardent followers of Lammers. The Mission Covenant Church in Skien is seen as the direct offspring of this dissident congregation. Overseas missions In Hong Kong and Macau, the church is known by its Chinese name: Jīdūjiào Shèngyuē Jàohuì (基督教聖約教會).

Det Norske Misjonsforbund

Det Norske Misjonsforbund (DNM) är ett evangelikalt trossamfund i Norge, bildat 1884 på initiativ av den svensk-amerikanske väckelsepredikanten Fredrik Franson. I dag är ett hundratal lokala församlingar anslutna till samfundet. Ungdomsförbundet heter Misjonsforbundet UNG. DNM är medlem av Internationella federationen av fria evangeliska kyrkor (IFFEC), vars nordiska barn- och ungdomskommitté (NBUKI) Misjonsforbundet UNG tillhör. Historia Under 1850-talet gick stora väckelser fram över Norge. Prästen Gustav Adolph Lammers var en av de tongivande väckelseförkunnarna. 1856 bildade han de första norska frikyrkoförsamlingarna, i Skien och Tromsø. Fler församlingar bildades under de kommande åren och 1882 slöt de sig samman i Den frie Fællesmissionsforening, ofta förkortat "Frimisjonen". 1883 började Fredrik Franson att hålla möteskampanjer i Norge. Han ivrade för ett närmare samarbete mellan friförsamlingarna som året därpå bildade Det Norske Misjonsforbund under mottot Guds barns enhet og synderes frelse. 1889 sände man ut sina första missionärer (till Sydafrika). 1912 bildas ett ungdomsförbund av tio lokala ungdomsföreningar. 1913 startade man en egen missionsskola i Oslo, för utbildning av predikanter, pastorer och missionärer. 1932 höll den finlands-svenske evangelisten Frank Mangs mötesserier i Norge. Väckelse bröt ut och fram till andra världskriget ökade samfundets medlemstal radikalt. Under 1950-talet lade man ned missionsskolan och ersatte den med ett teologiskt seminarium (Ansgarskolen) som sedan 1988 är belägen i Kristiansand. Under 1970-talet berördes många församlingar av Jesusrörelsen och den karismatiska väckelsen. Vid årskonferensen 1993 antog DNM visionen Mennesker som ærer Gud, gjør Jesus kjent og vokser i åpne og levende menighetsfelleskap. 2007 antog man grunddokumentet Rotfestet og raus, där samfundets grundläggande självförståelse och verksamhetssyn läggs fast. Dokumentet har två bilagor, Evangeliska alliansens trosbekännelse och Lausannedeklarationen. Externa länkar Officiell webbplats
