Today in Christian History
Today is Tuesday, June 7th, the 158th day of 2022. There are 207 days left in the year.
Today’s Highlight in History:
761: During the iconoclast controversies, Byzantine Emperor Constantine V has John, the Abbot of Monagria, tied up in a sack and thrown into the sea because he refuses to trample an icon.
1048: Death of Berno of Reichenau who had done much to restore prosperity to the Lake Constance area (now in Switzerland). A scholar, he enriched the library, rebuilt the church, and wrote many treatises on music.
1066: Murder at Lentz of the warrior-prince Gottschalk by heathen who reject his attempts to Christianize them.
1683: The Concord sets sail, carrying the first German settlers (Quakers and Mennonites fleeing persecution) toward their new home in Pennsylvania.
1692: Port Royal, Jamaica, “the richest and wickedest city in the world,” is destroyed by earthquake and tsunami. Later, members of Jamaica's council will make every future anniversary a day of fasting and humiliation.
1794: Ordination of Archibald Alexander who will become a famous educator and first principal of Princeton Seminary.
1834: A little more than two weeks after their marriage, Samuel and Marie Gobat leave Germany bound for Ethiopia as missionaries. They will suffer great privations, terrible sufferings, and death of a child while crossing Egypt.
1863: Death of Franz Xaver Gruber, Austrian church organist and composer of “Silent Night” (STILLE NACHT). Gruber had written almost one hundred music compositions during his lifetime but “Silent Night” is his most famous tune.
1945: Death in Guadalcanal of Ini Kopuria, founder of an evangelistic outreach known as the Melanesian Brotherhood.
2002: American missionary Martin Burnham and Filipino nurse Ediborah Yap are killed when the Philippine military launches a raid to rescue them from Islamic radicals who have held them captive in the jungle for more than a year. Burnham’s wife Gracie is freed but suffers a gunshot wound.
