Fellowship of Germanic Christians

A token of the fervor towards Christ felt by the Germanics is a saying that is bound to the Hallowed Warden of the Fellowship of Germanic Christians, King Clovis I. Named "The Most Christian King", when he was being taught the tales and laws of Christianity, the Priest began to teach him about the Passion and the suffering of Christ at Calvary, whereupon Clovis clutched his axe, stood and shouted, "If I had been there with my Franks, I would have revenged his wrongs!"

 

This same soul and true love for Christ was felt throughout the North, and our Germanic forefathers so called the Lord "Healend", meaning Saviour or Healer, and it is this name for the Lord which we find throughout the writings and sagas of Germanic Christians to tie the everlasting and almighty way of God into folkways with which they could understand God made flesh. It is this true love, and this bond to our folkways which drives the Fellowship to akindle Healendry.

The Might-Wielding Lord

In The Heliand, the Saga written by Saxons in the 9th Century which tells the Gospel through Germanic eyes, they refer to the Healend, "That Might-Wielding Lord", and His Thegns, the 12 Apostles, as a band surrounding Christ and toppling the rotting and misbegotten land which Judea and Galilee had become. This might used to overthrow rotting structures is found not only in the Gospel, but in the Tale of Northern Christendom itself. The Heathens, which had been led astray into worshipping false idols and their own ancestors, were put to an end by the light of God and His Church, whole Kingdoms came into the Water of Baptism, or fell like the rotten Oaks which they worshipped.

At the time The Heliand was written, Saxony was undergoing this very overthrow, as the Englishmen and Franks came to teach the Saxish folk about the Gospel and God, many powerhungry Kings wished not to bow to the King of Kings. An Englishman, by the name of Boniface, had preached to the Saxish, and when heading South of Saxony into Hessen, singlehandedly proved the Might of God over the Heathen idols by felling Thor's Oak, a tree which the Pagans had worshipped.

 

This led to the Christening of hundreds of Heathens, who witnessed firsthand the overpowering strength of God and His followers. Without doubt, this time of Hallows and Holiness swayed Germanic Christian understanding of God, and contributed to the fervency of their belief.

Writ of Aim

Whereas in the latterday standing of the world, we can see a growing widespread misbelief and hatred of God. And whereas, this hatred is too deeply tied with the hatred of the folk who are the offspring of Germanic lands and of Japheth. We therefore see it fit as Christians first, and as proud Germanic sons, to outwardly call freely what we believe, live happily in our blood, and be thankful for our birthright.

 

The Fellowship of Germanic Christians was brought together in February 14th of the Year of our Lord, 2023. On this day the first minds worked to reckon an answer to this ever strengthing drive against the unmistakeable truth of God. This led to the birth of the Fellowship and its undertaking to bind the Christians of Germanic blood so that we may holdfast our ways through learning, teaching,keeping, and sharing the knowledge of our forefathers.

 

As said in the Oaths of the Healend, we must preserve the traditions, culture, and society of ourfolk as given to us by God. This is the weightiest of all things within the Fellowship, the keeping of our beliefs and birthright alongside gainsaying those who stand as foes to it. Wherefore if we cannot do this then all is for nought as we will shamble knowledgeless, and then give that knowledgelessness to our children. They are undeserving of that, as God calls us to honour our father and mother, we will give our kin a father worth honouring.

 

Throughout the Saga of Christendom there are untold contributions made by Germanic Christians which today have been nearly forgotten. It therefore needs the likeminded work of all the offspring of those ways and those contributors to mend what has been broken and lost, to bring that to the latterday, and to akindle the fire within our soul towards the love of God as followers of Him. Know now that we will not let ourselves be torn asunder, we are all called to one aim by God to stand against His foes and the undermining of His belief, so in that calling we will act as a lone steadfast Fellowship of Germanic Christians.

 

No worldly force can tear us from the light, as those workers of the devil pale in liken to the might of God, his Son the Healend, and our forebears who stand with us in the Communion of Saints. So against all that will come we know firmly that the Gates of Hell shall not prevail. So it is.
