Today is Tuesday, January 29th, the 29th day of 2019. There are 336 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History:

570: (probable date) Death of Gildas, thought to have been an abbot, who gave us the earliest history we have of the British Celts. Because of the scarcity and inaccuracy of records from that era, the date and place of both his birth and death will remain uncertain into the twenty-first century.

1430: (probable date) Death of Andrei Rublev at Andronikov Monastery. He will be considered the greatest medieval Russian painter of icons and Christian frescoes.

1555: Agents of Mary Tudor degrade and condemn the Protestant bishop John Hooper along with John Rogers, Rowland Taylor, and other preachers of the Reformation. Hooper will be executed the following month.

1663: Death of Robert Sanderson, bishop of Lincoln, whose biography was included as one of Izaak Walton’s Lives. Siding with the Royalists, Sanderson had been deprived of his living after the Puritans took power during the Commonwealth.

1877: Death in New York of Sarah Doremus, sometimes called the “Mother of Missions” because of her strenuous efforts in behalf of foreign missions.

1882: “Cotty” Peabody arrives in Tombstone a few months after the shootout at O.K. Corral where he will establish Arizona territory’s first Protestant church.

1918: Death in Chicago of Sarah Dunn Clarke, co-founder of the Pacific Garden Mission and its "mother."

1921: The Congregational Holiness Church is formally organized in High Shoals, Georgia, following a split the previous year with the Pentecostal Holiness Church.

1929: Death in Baxter Springs, Kansas, of Charles Fox Parham, early American Pentecostal innovator and theologian.

John Hooper, Martyr - burned at the stake in 1555.

John Hooper (also Johan Hoper; c. 1495 – 9 February 1555) was an English churchman, Anglican Bishop of Gloucester, and Worcester, a Protestant reformer and a Protestant martyr. A proponent of the English Reformation, he was executed for heresy by burning during the reign of Queen Mary I.

Hooper, an advocate of the English Reformation, was Bishop of Gloucester and Worcester under the reign of Edward VI, England’s first Protestant monarch.

Following the death of the young king, his Catholic sister Mary, or ’bloody’ Queen Mary as she has become known, came to the throne and made England a Catholic state again.

Bishop Hooper was arrested and charged with heresy in January 1555. He was burnt at the stake in the shadow of Gloucester Cathedral on February 9 1555. His martyrdom has been marked with a statue on the spot where he died.
