    A lord is a male who has power (sociology) power and authority. It can have different meanings depending on the context of use.The etymology of the English word ''lord'' goes back to Old English languageOld English ''hlaf-weard'' (loaf-guardian) – reflecting the Germanic tribes Germanic tribal custom of a superior providing food for his followers. The female equivalent, ''Lady'', may come from words meaning "loaf-kneader".

    Religion - With a definite article and capitalisation, "The Lord" (Hebrew languageHebrew ''Adonai'', Greek languageGreek ''Kyrios'', Latin ''Dominus'') serves as an epithet of Yahweh, the God of the JudaismJews and ChristianityChristians. Christianity Christians also use the phrase "Our Lord" (or "The Lord") with reference to Jesus.In Neopaganism the term "Lord" refers to the male Horned GodGod.Usages in Buddhism (''the Lord Buddha'') and in Hinduism (''Lord Vishnu'', for example) appear less definite than those in more monotheism monotheistic traditions.Note the general capitalisation of the word "Lord" in the religious context. In many English language English-language speech communities, the religious usage of "Lord" predominates today, as Christianity (for example) has established itself and thrived in many social environments where formal feudal-like class structures have become deprecated.

    Feudalism - In feudalism, a lord (French: ''seigneur'') has aristocracyaristocratic rank and claims dominion over a portion of land and the produce and labour of the serfs living thereon. The serf would swear the oath of fealty to the Lord, or "keeper of the loaves". Such lords normally inherit their position and theoretically expect allegiance similar to that owed to a monarch. As part of the heritage of feudalism, the word ''lord'' can generally refer to superiors of many kinds, e.g. "landlord". In many cultures in Europe the equivalent term serves as a general title of address equivalent to the English "Mr" (Spanish ''Señor'', Italian ''Signore'', German ''Herr'') or to the English formal "you" (Polish ''Pan''). Compare "gentleman".In Scotland, the word Laird is also used for minor feudal landlords or masters of landed estates.

    Title - In the United Kingdom, the House of Lords – commonly known as "the Lords" – forms the upper house of Parliament. Until recently many hereditary lords (particularly English lords – as opposed to Scottish and Irish lords – had automatic membership of the House of Lords – but see House of Lords Act 1999. Five ranks of peeragepeer exist in the UK, namely Duke, Marquess, Earl, Viscount, and Baron; and all male peers except dukes use the style "Lord X". The title "Lord" also applies by courtesy to certain of their children, e.g. the younger sons of dukes and marquesses can use the style "Lord (firstname) (lastname)". Many Marquesses, Earls, Viscounts and Barons use the style "Lord (title)"; for example, Alfred TennysonAlfred Tennyson, 1st Baron Tennyson, commonly known as "Lord Tennyson". Barons, in particular, are almost never referred to as anything but "Lord X". In the Peerage of Scotland, the members of the lowest level of the peerage have the title "Lord of Parliament" rather than "Baron".Senior judges use the title "Lord":
  • the Law Lords or "Lords of Appeal in Ordinary" who have the rank of life barons
  • judges of the Court of Appeal of England and Wales, known as "Lords Justices of Appeal"
  • judges of the Scottish Court of Session, known as "Lords of Council and Session"Various high offices of state may carry the cachet of honorary lords: thus we find titles such as Lord High Chancellor.Another English title, that of "lord of the manor", does not connote peerage and does not carry parliamentary rights. The title merely marks the holder as the owner of a manor who has certain local rights. It carries no social marker.

We have Baptist, United Methodist, Russian Orthodox, Anglican, Pentecostal, and Charismatic to name some. People ask us how can this be? The answer is. Because we have a common glue.

    Trinity Lutheran Church
    Trinity Lutheran Church is located on Howe Avenue in Shelton, CT of Fairfield County/Naugatuck Valley. We are affiliated with the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA). Founded in 1899, we are committed to offering all God's children His Holy Sacraments and preaching the Good News of Christ Jesus. It is through Baptism, Jesus' body and blood, and the Word that God reveals to His people His love for creation. He grants us these gifts by His grace through faith in Jesus Christ alone; our salvation cannot be found in our works and deeds. However, it is through true faith that good works naturally flow. Let us go forth, then, and rejoice in this free gift by loving and serving our neighbor and proclaiming the coming Kingdom. Amen.

    Lisburn Baptist Church Ministry
    Our church is located on Longstone Street in the city of Lisburn, Northern Ireland. The church aims to worship the Lord Jesus Christ, share the gospel message with those who are lost and build up believers. We hope that you enjoy browsing this site and would be most happy to welcome you to any of the activities arranged by our Church. Lisburn Baptist Church was formed on 30th May 1926 under the leadership of Pastor J. Shields and first met in a rented hall in Wallace Avenue and later in the Good Templar Hall in Linenhall Street. It was decided to erect a church building, and a site was acquired in Priests Lane (now called Tonagh Avenue) on 25th September 1928 and the church was opened on 19th April 1930. The first pastor of the church was Pastor G. E. Priestly, who was inducted on 28th October 1934, and died in 1940. The present church in Longstone Street was opened on Saturday 28th May 1977 and cost £175,328 to build. The original church building with its many alterations is now the church hall. The Church is currently seeking the Lord’s direction for a new Pastor. In the interim the day-to-day activities of the church are under guidance of the elders and deacons with the assistance of many dedicated church members.
