St Nicholas's Church, formerly called St Mary's Church until 1881, is a Church of England parish church in Church Stoke, Powys, Wales.
 The church's current building is largely the result of 19th-century reconstruction, but it retains its 13th-century tower with a later timber belfry.
 From the period prior to the 19th century, only a font, a stoup and a chest have survived up to three phases of restoration and reconstruction.
 The main body of the church with its large high pitched roof dates to the second half of the 19th century.
 It is a Grade II listed building.
The Episcopal presence in Canandaigua,New York begins about 1799 with the St. Matthew Society, a missionary group.
 St. John's Episcopal Church was organized in 1814 and first met in the Ontario County, New York Court House in Canandaigua.
 St. John's erected a wooden church building in 1816.
 Bishop John Henry Hobart consecrated it that year.
 The brick rectory was constructed alongside the church in 1851.
 Steady congregational growth necessitated more space.
 This led to the razing of the first church and the constructing of the current, larger stone Gothic building done in the parish church style popular in the 19th century.
 Emlen T. Littel of New York, who was also the architect of Zion Episcopal Church (Palmyra, New York) designed the building.
 This church was constructed in 1872 at a cost of $47,000 (approximately $850,000 today) and consecrated in 1886.
 It contains several windows from the earlier wooden church, elaborate new stained glass windows imported from Europe, and one—The Parables Window—was designed by Daniel Cottier(1837–1891), who was considered an important influence on Louis Comfort Tiffany.
 In 1908, new hardwood floors, choir stalls, and an organ were installed.
 The parish house and a chapel were added at the same time.
 In 1964-65, an addition to parish house included classrooms, a new chapel, and a dining/ meeting room added to celebrate the church’s 150th anniversary.
 Recent additions include a columbarium with a capacity of 136 niches and a memorial garden, outside the church, reached through the columbarium and chapel in the south transept.
The Church of Norway ("Den norske kirke" in Bokmål and "Den norske kyrkja" in Nynorsk) is a Lutheran denomination of Protestant Christianity that serves as the people's church of Norway, as set forth in the Constitution of Norway.
 It is by far the largest church in Norway, and until the 19th century membership was mandatory for everyone.

Ennis Friary (colloquially also known as Ennis Abbey) was a Franciscan friary in the town of Ennis, County Clare, Ireland.
 It was established in the middle of the 13th century by the ruling O'Brien dynasty who supported it for most of its existence.
 Following the suppression of the monasteries in the 16th century, the friary continued to function for a while despite the loss of its lands.
 In the early 17th century, the buildings were handed over to the Church of Ireland as a place of worship.
 It was used as such until the late 19th century.
 After the construction of a new Church of Ireland building, the friary fell into ruin.
 Managed by the Office of Public Works since the late 19th century, it was formally returned to the Franciscan Order in 1969.
Church frescos or church wall paintings (Danish: "kalkmalerier") are to be found in some 600 churches across Denmark, no doubt representing the highest concentration of surviving church murals anywhere in the world.
 Most of them date back to the Middle Ages and were uncovered by Jacob Kornerup (1825-1913) who carried out restoration work in 80 churches across the country towards the end of the 19th century.
 They lay hidden for centuries as after the reformation, they were covered with limewash (Danish: "kalk") only to be revealed and restored during the course of the 19th and 20th centuries.
 In most of Europe medieval frescos, extremely common in the Middle Ages, were more likely to be removed completely during the Reformation or in subsequent rebuildings, or merely as they aged.
 The oldest frescos, dating back to the 12th century, were painted in the Romanesque style by artists from elsewhere in Europe but those from the 14th century and thereafter are in the Gothic style which was used by native Danish painters.
 It is these that are considered to be the most important for Danish art and culture.
 A distinction is to be made between these church wall paintings or "kalkmalerier" and the generic term "fresco" (Danish: "fresko") which refers to all types of painting on plastered walls or ceilings.
Johan Storm Munch (31 August 1778–26 January 1832) was a Bishop in the Church of Norway.
 He was also known as a poet, playwright, and magazine editor.
The history of the Episcopal Church in the United States of America has its origins in the Church of England, a church which stresses its continuity with the ancient Western church and claims to maintain apostolic succession.
 Its close links to the Crown led to its reorganization on an independent basis in the 1780s.
 In the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, it was characterized sociologically by a disproportionately high number of high status Americans as well as English immigrants: More than a quarter of all presidents of the United States have been Episcopalians ("see List of United States Presidential religious affiliations").
 Although it was not among the leading participants of the abolitionist movement in the early 19th century, by the early 20th century its social engagement had increased to the point that it was an important participant in the Social Gospel movement, though it never provided much support for the Prohibitionist movement.
 Like other mainline churches in the United States, its membership decreased from the 1960s.
 This was also a period in which the church took a more open attitude on the role of women and toward homosexuality, while engaging in liturgical revision parallel to that of the Roman Catholic Church in the post Vatican II era.
The Church of Christ in Japan was founded by American missionaries in 1872.
 J.C. Presbyterians like Hepburn and S. R. Brown and the Reformed J. H. Ballagh were among the founders, in Yokohama.
 In 1877 the church unified with the Presbyterian Association.
 By the end of the 19th century membership was 10,500 and there were 72 congregations.
 In the following fifty years it was among Japan's largest churches.
 It sponsors missionaries in Korea, Hong Kong and Singapore.
 In 1941 the denomination become part of the United Church of Christ in Japan.
 In 1951, 39 congregations reconstructed themselves as the Church of Christ in Japan.
The Church of the Good Shepherd, Kensington, was an Episcopal congregation in Kensington neighborhood of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
 Founded in 1868, it merged with Emmanuel Church, Kensington, in 1994 to form the Church of Emmanuel and the Good Shepherd.
 Its 1887 building, designed by architect T. Frank Miller and located at 2121-2127 East Cumberland Street, was demolished in 2016.
 The Church of the Good Shepherd, Kensington, was an among the few surviving reminders of the mid to late 19th century English immigrant experience and community in Kensington and Philadelphia.
 Movement has been made to celebrate the colonial experience (i.e. Penn Treaty Park) and preserve the 19th century "new immigrant" experience (i.e. St. Laurentius Church, in Fishtown) in the greater Kensington area.
 Scholars often refer to this immigrant group as hidden and forgotten.
 These immigrants, to outsiders, blended in and disappeared.
 However, as the property demonstrates, mid to late 19th century English immigrants, far from being hidden, built unique neighborhoods, cultural institutions, and worship sties.
