'''August Ludwig Christian Kavel''' was born in [[Berlin]], [[Germany]] on [[September 3]], [[1798]].

Pastor Kavel was a founder of [[Lutheranism]] in [[Australia]].

In the period that Kavel was Pastor of the church in Klemzig, the king of Prussia, King [[Frederick William III]], had made decrees which offended [[Lutherans]] in general, including the Lutheran congregation at Klemzig. In the years following [[1934]], the church along with other [[Christians]] in Prussia defied the decrees made by the king. The State in turn, applied increasing pressure on the churches to obey the decrees of the king.
