<P> Within Anglicanism, the controversial bishop Robert Clayton (died 1758) proposed that Michael was the Logos and Gabriel the Holy Spirit . Controversy over Clayton's views led the government to order his prosecution, but he died before his scheduled examination . </P> <P> Michael continues to be recognized among Protestants by key churches dedicated to him, e.g., St. Michaelis Church, Hamburg and St. Michael's Church, Hildesheim, each of which is of the Lutheran Church and has appeared in the Bundesländer series of € 2 commemorative coins for 2008 and 2014 respectively . </P> <P> In Bach's time, the annual feast of Michael and All the Angels on 29 September was regularly celebrated with a festive service, for which Bach composed several cantatas, for example the chorale cantata Herr Gott, dich loben alle wir, BWV 130 in 1724, Es erhub sich ein Streit, BWV 19, in 1726 and Man singet mit Freuden vom Sieg, BWV 149, in 1728 or 1729 . </P> <P> Seventh - day Adventists, being of the Protestant heritage, lineage and faith, believe that Michael is another name for the eternal Son of the Father, the Heavenly Christ, and another name for the Word - of - God (as in John 1) before he became incarnate as Jesus . "Archangel" (meaning "Chief of the Angels", "highest messenger") was the leadership position as held by the Word - of - God as Michael while among the angels . According to Adventist theology, Michael was considered the "eternal Word", and not a created being or created angel, and the one by whom all things were created . The Word was then born incarnate as Jesus . </P>
