A vicar (/ˈvɪkər/; Latin: vicarius) is a representative, deputy or substitute; anyone acting "in the person of" or agent for a superior (compare "vicarious" in the sense of "at second hand"). Linguistically, vicar is cognate with the English prefix "vice", similarly meaning "deputy". The title appears in a number of Christian ecclesiastical contexts, but also as an administrative title, or title modifier, in the Roman Empire. In addition, in the Holy Roman Empire a local representative of the emperor, perhaps an archduke, might be styled "vicar".

Germany at the time was a very Christian. See, the problem as you can imagine, the Nazi ideology isn’t exactly parallel to that of Christians to say the least. In fact the Germans went through great lengths to weaken the Churches status in German society. But like I mentioned above, over 90 percent of Germans were Christian at the time, so it was more of a moral/status quo type of deal letting the Chaplains serve. They weren’t typically outspoken because the screening process for chaplains managed to filter out any.
The Nazis had freedom of speech on lock down by that time, even German soldiers who disagreed with the government had to hold their tongue and fight the war on threats of execution. You can even be executed for publicly expressing doubt in the war effort. Defeatism is what it was called.
A lot of the disobedient clergymen were incarcerated during Hitlers rise prior to WW2. A lot of people don’t realize that one of the first large scale resistance against the Nazis were by Catholic clergymen in southern Germany. Despite Hitlers common Catholic and alpine roots, they were very outspoken about his discrimination policies. Especially the Sterilization acts, which allowed the killing of people who were determined to have mental or physical disorders. In 1933 the Nazis disbanded the Catholic Centre party. Dachau right outside of Munich was known to have a pretty sizable clergymen population.
By the mid 1930’s the tone of the Catholic church had greatly been reduced. Most Catholic priests avoided attention from the party, and some even openly supported them. Though the Nazis practiced restraint with the German clergymen as to not anger the catholic Germans. However in many areas they conquered, like Poland, the Nazis were pretty much ruthless in killing of and imprisoning religious authority.

Shakespeare & Hathaway: Private Investigators was one of the BBC’s biggest daytime triumphs in years, picking up impressive viewing figures and becoming the best-performing BBC Daytime content on iPlayer in history.
Mark Benton and Jo Joyner’s comedy drama is now back for more, with Frank Hathaway and Luella Shakespeare taking on ten new mysteries in series two.
What is Shakespeare & Hathaway about?
Shakespeare and Hathaway Series 2 - ep 1 - Outrageous Fortune
Shakespeare & Hathaway: Private Investigators is a comedy drama set in the Bard’s birthplace of Stratford-upon-Avon, where ex-detective Frank Hathaway (Mark Benton) and his business partner Luella Shakespeare (Jo Joyner) run an unorthodox but highly-successful private detective service.
Their only employee is Sebastian Brudenell (Patrick Walshe McBride), a young aspiring actor with a particular talent for working undercover. Sebastian lives above a theatre costumier, run by an older lady called Gloria Fonteyn (Roberta Taylor) who is always happy to help.
Luella Shakespeare and Frank Hathaway first met at the very beginning of series one when hairdresser Luella hired debt-laden PI Frank to investigate her fiancé and – in a terrible turn of events – ended up being accused by the police of his murder. She worked with Frank to clear her name, and by the end of the first episode she had bought into his business and become a partner in their joint detective agency.
Since then they’ve taken on a new case in each episode, and it looks like we have some brilliant mysteries coming up in series two.
Shakespeare and Hathaway will be tasked with tracking down a pampered billionaire dog called Tim, and once they’ve solved that case they’ll be drawn into the middle of the action when a fantasy battle in the woods goes badly wrong. We’ll also see sisters at war on a psychic TV programme, the disappearance of an Eastern European oligarch, an episode set in a casino, and even an episode where the two PIs are framed by their own doppelgängers.
Jo Joyner reckons part of the show’s success is “the balance of the buddy friendship that these two have rather than it all just being a serious murder and doom and gloom,” while Mark Benton adds: “Sometimes there’s so much dark drama, so much heavy stuff – which is great and wonderful –but sometimes I think people do want to just sit down and enjoy something.”

The term bishop comes from the Greek word espiskopos which mean “overseer.” As Greek was the early language of the Christian Church, this term was often used in the same way that the word presbyteros was. Presbyteros means “elder” or “senior” and serves as the root for the modern term priest. Starting in the 2nd century, with the writings of Ignatius of Antioch, the two terms were clearly distinguished and used in a sense of the order or office of bishop.
The term pastor is derived from the Latin noun pastor which means “shepherd” and from its earliest usage it has always referred to a role within the church that takes on a task of spiritual shepherding within the congregation. In the New Testament, it was also synonymous to the term elder, although that is no longer the case.[ii]
The terms pastor and bishop have two different histories in how they started out and in how their meaning evolved into its current definition. Early Christian churches, including the Church in Jerusalem, were organized similar to Jewish synagogues but included a council of ordained presbyters. Then in Acts 11:30 and 15:200, a collegiate governmental system is implemented in Jerusalem and led by James the Just, who is considered to be the first bishop of the city. At this time though, the words presbyters and espiskopos (later bishop) were used interchangeably and not in the sense to mean the holder of the office of bishop-which is the meaning that developed later. At this time the group of presbyter-bishops did not exert any power over the church; this was a function deferred to the Apostles or their delegates, who were better educated and highly respected. The modern meaning for bishop first occurs in Timothy and Titus in the New Testament, in which Paul commands Titus to ordain presbyters/bishops and exercise oversight while rebuking all other authority. As Christendom grew, bishops began to serve larger areas than individual congregations and instead appointed priests to manage each church as a delegate of the bishop.

The pastor of Union Grove Baptist Church, Jack Jeter, is my Stranger #12. He turned 80 years old on this past Sunday (invited me to come back for his birthday celebration on Sunday). On this day I caught him repairing the broken window damage from where thieves had broken into his little country church and stole the sound equipment, speakers, DVD player, computer, lots of other items and including their vacuum cleaner...sad that even the church is not revered in this day and age!!! He asked me what brought me to the church on a Thursday afternoon, I replied taking photos of the wildflowers and historical markers in the area like the one in front of his church. Then I asked if I could take his photo with the marker and add it to my Strangers project. He agreed but was hesitant since he was not in his suit and nice shoes. I replied but you are busy working so workclothes are in order. He laughed & when I asked about his foot as I thought it might be injured. He told me he had the duct tape on his shoe to hold it together...and then followed it up with I bet you want a picture of it too!!! I laughed saying yes and reminded him of the scripture in Isaiah 52:7 that says, "How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him that bringeth good tidings, that publisheth peace; that bringeth good tidings of good, that published salvation." This referring to the feet of those who preach so then it was a beautiful covering for a beautiful foot and very innovative repair too!!!!

On Saturday I borrowed a mobility scooter and ventured out of the house to Kingsfold Steam and Vintage and Kite Festival, while there I stumbled across Deadwood and what a great find it was.
A whole community of people dressed in western costumes in a very realistic looking old west town of the 1870s - 1880s. The people were all so friendly and made me feel very welcome, I shall definitely be returning, hopefully with my whole camera club.
So to do the town justice and make my photos look of the period, last night I taught myself how to make the photos look sepia and blur the edges out (YouTube is great). I hope you like the effect, as it’s the first time I have tried such a technique any feedback would be helpful. Many thanks.
My leg is on the mend, the aircast is off, I can manage a few steps around the house and I’m starting physio on Thursday, so all good news, just wish the mending would hurry up, want to get out in the woods to photography the autumn colours.

Two men in a dark room who ask each other "Who are you there?" can both be equally satisfied with the common response of 'I' coming from either side...
Thus existent, subsistent and value factors correct the exaggerations of each other and of one another. Finally, pure being attains to self-awareness in the Absolute.
at our first photo exploration stop of the westside of chicago, the resident of the "abandonded" theatre building was a hammer-wielding, psychologically challenged man; however the guy who was watching over the wrecking grounds that was the st john of god church was much different. although he was holding a hammer at first, we started talking and he was a gentlemen in the truest sense. he even gave us a tour of the remains and pointed out specific shots for us.
I appreciate awards and the time you have taken to view my work, but i prefer comments - all graphics will be deleted.
Thanks in advance for any comments!!!

Fury is a 2014 American war film written and directed by David Ayer, and starring Brad Pitt, Shia LaBeouf, Logan Lerman, Michael Peña, Jon Bernthal, and Jason Isaacs. The film portrays US tank crews in Nazi Germany during the final days of World War II. Ayer was influenced by the service of veterans in his family and by reading books, such as Belton Y. Cooper's Death Traps, about American armored units in World War II and the high casualty rates suffered by tank crews in Europe.
Production began in early September 2013, in Hertfordshire, England, followed by principal photography on September 30, 2013, in Oxfordshire. Filming continued for a month-and-a-half at different locations, which included the city of Oxford, and concluded on November 13. Fury was released on October 17, 2014, received positive reviews, and grossed $211 million worldwide.

1 Kings 13:19-22 (NLT)
19 So they went back together, and the man of God ate and drank at the prophet’s home. 20 Then while they were sitting at the table, a command from the Lord came to the old prophet. 21 He cried out to the man of God from Judah, “This is what the Lord says: You have defied the word of the Lord and have disobeyed the command the Lord your God gave you. 22 You came back to this place and ate and drank where he told you not to eat or drink. Because of this, your body will not be buried in the grave of your ancestors.”
DRAWING NOTES:
TIME OF DAY:
Some time after the previous scene, perhaps mid afternoon.
LIGHTING NOTES:
This scene is set inside the old prophet from Bethel’s home, so there is no direct sunlight. Some defused sunlight illuminates the scene from the right, casting slight shadows to the left of figures and objects.
CHARACTERS PRESENT:
From left to right: two sons of the old prophet from Bethel. A daughter or servant girl, the man of God from Judah (in a green outer robe), & the old prophet from Bethel (in a red outer robe).
RESEARCH/ADDITIONAL NOTES:
I enjoyed drawing the expressions of the various people in this scene. Notice the shock on the old prophet from Bethel’s face, as he cries out God’s pronouncement upon the man of God from Judah. His daughter (or a servant girl) is so shocked she forgets what she’s doing and is pouring red wine on one of the prophet’s sons! The man of God from Judah is eating a chicken leg, and looking a bit worried! Having previously accepted that the old prophet from Bethel had told him that the Lord had said it was OK for the man of God to eat & drink with him (which directly contravened what God Himself had told the man of God!), now it is obvious that the old prophet was lying to him!
I guess this proves that we should always believe God, but not always believe what we are told by people!
The Bible Knowledge Commentary has some interesting points to make on this story...
“This somewhat confusing story may appear at first to contribute nothing to the advancement of the narrative or the writer’s purpose. But careful study clarifies its value.
13:11-14. A second prophet was living in Bethel and was old. These are important clues. Old age sometimes tends to make one lazy and complacent. This man’s complacency is further suggested by his willingness not only to live in the territory of the apostate king but at the very center of the king’s false system of worship.
Why the old prophet rode after the prophet from Judah is not stated. Perhaps he simply wanted to visit with a younger, more faithful servant of the Lord. Or his motive from the beginning could have been jealousy and his intent could have been to destroy the younger prophet’s ministry.
13:15-19. In response to the faithful prophet’s refusal, the old man claimed direct revelation from God through an angel who had told him, he said, that the young man should forget his former instructions from the Lord. So the prophet of Judah, not suspecting that the old prophet was lying to him... returned to Bethel and ate with him. The apostasy of Jeroboam had infected even a prophet who seems to have had the same selfish motives and practiced the same brazen disobedience as the king. The spirit of apostasy was spreading quickly and was already reaping a grim harvest in Israel.
Even though the old prophet had sinned, the word of the Lord came to him again, as it did to many other prophets of the Lord who sinned (e.g., Jonah, Elijah). The old man announced the fate of his brother prophet then and there. The younger prophet, because he had disobeyed the Lord’s command, would not be given an honorable burial. The severity of God’s judgment on this man, compared with His dealings with the older prophet who was also disobedient, seems unfair. But the severity of God’s judgment was proportionate to the importance of the younger man’s mission. All Israel would have heard about his prophecy of God’s judgment on Jeroboam for his disobedience to the word of the Lord through Moses. If God had not judged His own prophet for his disobedience to the word given him by God and which he had announced publicly, doubt would have been cast on his prophecy and on God’s credibility. By comparison the older prophet’s sins were private and were judged privately by God.”

1 Kings 13:1-3 (NLT)
A prophet denounces Jeroboam
1 At the Lord’s command, a man of God from Judah went to Bethel, arriving there just as Jeroboam was approaching the altar to burn incense. 2 Then at the Lord’s command, he shouted, “O altar, altar! This is what the Lord says: A child named Josiah will be born into the dynasty of David. On you he will sacrifice the priests from the pagan shrines who come here to burn incense, and human bones will be burned on you.” 3 That same day the man of God gave a sign to prove his message. He said, “The Lord has promised to give this sign: This altar will split apart, and its ashes will be poured out on the ground.”
DRAWING NOTES:
TIME OF DAY:
Unspecified in the Bible, I have set the scene in the middle of the morning.
LIGHTING NOTES:
Gentle sunlight illuminates this scene from the left, casting shadows to the right of figures and objects.
CHARACTERS PRESENT:
In the left foreground is the un-named man of God from Judah, wearing a green outer robe and carrying a staff.
King Jeroboam I is the brightly dressed man on the steps of the altar.
Various soldiers, guards, priests, passers-by, etc are included throughout the scene.
The captain of the guard is the angry looking man in leather armour, in the right foreground, with blue on his helmet.
RESEARCH/ADDITIONAL NOTES:
This scene show sthe arrival of the un-named man of God from Judah, who has come to confront King Jeroboam I about his idolatrous ways.
Although Jeroboam is described as a capable young man in 1 Kings chp 11, I have imagined him a little older in this scene, and showing signs of self-indulgence and excess, which is indicated by his rather large belly and somewhat garish, flamboyant robes! Verse 1 tells us that Jeroboam was approaching the altar to burn incense, which is why he has some incense sticks in his left hand.
The Hebrew which is translated ish elohim means “a Divine person, one wholly devoted to God's service”. This un-named prophet from Judah was referring in his prophecy to king Josiah who would destroy many pagan altars in the future (see 2 Kings 23). This prophecy is one of the most remarkable in the Old Testament because it predicted the name and actions of a king who would not be on the earth for another 290 years. Surely this is evidence of the all-knowing nature of God the Father!
Who was Jeroboam?
Jeroboam (the first, since there were two kings of Israel by that name), was the son of Nebat, and was one of Solomon’s officials, an Ephraimite from Zeredah, who’s mother was a widow named Zeruah (see 1 Kings 11:26). Verse 28 of 1 Kings 11 informs us that Jeroboam was a young man of standing, who did his work well. Clearly his reputation was well deserved, since King Solomon put him in charge of the whole labour force of the house of Joseph.
The story of Jeroboam’s rebellion against Solomon, after meeting the prophet Ahijah in the countryside near Jerusalem, can be read in 1 Kings 11:26-40. In verse 40 the Bible tells us that king Solomon tried to kill Jeroboam, but he escaped to Egypt, only returning to Israel once Solomon had died, and became the first king of the ten tribes that formed Israel when it was a divided kingdom.

“One secret of success in life is for a man to be ready for his opportunity when it comes.”
Current Pastor of First Baptist Church, North Highlands.
1 Kings 13:14-18 (NLT)
14 Then he [the old prophet living in Bethel] rode after the man of God and found him sitting under a great tree.
The old prophet asked him, “Are you the man of God who came from Judah?”
“Yes, I am,” he replied.
15 Then he said to the man of God, “Come home with me and eat some food.”
16 “No, I cannot,” he replied. “I am not allowed to eat or drink anything here in this place. 17 For the Lord gave me this command: ‘You must not eat or drink anything while you are there, and do not return to Judah by the same way you came.’”
18 But the old prophet answered, “I am a prophet, too, just as you are. And an angel gave me this command from the Lord: ‘Bring him home with you so he can have something to eat and drink.’” But the old man was lying to him.
DRAWING NOTES:
TIME OF DAY:
Some time after the pevious scene, so later in the day.
LIGHTING NOTES:
The sun is high in the sky, casting strong shadows below figures and objects.
CHARACTERS PRESENT:
On th left is the old prophet from Bethel with his donkey. On the right is the man of God from Judah, sitting under a tree.
RESEARCH/ADDITIONAL NOTES:
I have drawn the two figures (& the donkey!) in previous scenes in this set. I am uncertain of the motives of the old prophet from Bethel in deliberately deceiving the man of God from Judah. I suppose he could have just been curious about him, and so wanted to spend longer in his company. If that is true then getting the man of God to go home & eat with him would naturally have provided the old prophet with plenty of opportunity to find out about the man of God. I suppose the old prophet could have been working for king Jeroboam & so trying to “trip up” the man of God. Whatever his motivation, I decided to make the old prophet from Bethel look vaguely like a sorcerer, complete with pointed hat, red robes and a large staff. I have given him a rather severe expression on his face, which informs you his motives are not pure, which we know from verse 18 where we read, “But the old man was lying to him”.
The man of God from Judah is sitting under a Pistacia terebinthus (Terebinth terpentine tree). The trees in the background are Olea europaea (olive trees).

1 Kings 13:23-24 (NLT)
23 After the man of God had finished eating and drinking, the old prophet saddled his own donkey for him, 24 and the man of God started off again. But as he was travelling along, a lion came out and killed him. His body lay there on the road, with the donkey and the lion standing beside it.
DRAWING NOTES:
TIME OF DAY:
The exact time of day is not specified in the Bible narrative above. I have set the time a little after mid afternoon.
LIGHTING NOTES:
The sun is high in the sky, casting strong shadows below figures and objects.
CHARACTERS PRESENT:
The lion, the donkey (borrowed from the old prophet of Bethel) & the body of the man of God from Judah, on a road leading away from bethel & back towards Judah.
RESEARCH/ADDITIONAL NOTES:
This was quite a sad scene to draw! The man of God from Judah is lying in the road, after being killed by the lion (Panthera leo). On the other side of the body is the donkey (Equus asinus) which he borrowed from the old prophet of Bethel. The Bible states that both animals remained by the body. I decided not to show a blood-soaked corpse, or a fierce-looking lion, preferring a gentler interpretation of the scene for my viewers!
The flowering plants in the foreground is Tragopogon coelesyriacus (aka Long-Beaked Goat's Beard), which I haven't illusyrated before in Bible Cartoons. They are hemicryptophytes (typically herbaceous perennials, such as grasses, which produce perennating buds at the soil surface, where the buds are protected by leaf or stem bases.), which flower in Apr-July. The plants grows in Batha/Phrygana/Garrigue habitat (a type of low, soft-leaved scrubland ecoregion and plant community in the Mediterranean forests, woodlands, and scrub biome, found on limestone soils, generally near the seacoast where the moderated Mediterranean climate provides annual summer drought.) The plant can be found distributed in Israel in the Mediterranean Woodlands and Shrublands, Semi-steppe shrublands, Shrub-steppes, which are all in the north & west (coastal) parts of the country.

This kind soul worked at church and made life a bit easier for many, many people,
including me. His life was a legacy of service and servanthood. Charlie is/was a
model of selflessness. It is likely that Charlie is not resting, per se, but rather,
continuing his life of service to his God in Heaven.
This is an impromptu portrait of my friend Charlie at a Sunday School class breakfast.
Just out of view is the empty plate that Charlie will fill with the amazing food that the
Navigators and the Encounters enjoy during their annual breakfast together in May.
A few days after this photo was captured on May 15th 2011, Charlie was diagnosed
with cancer. Charlie passed into eternity yesterday morning, June 8th, 2011.
