	Nicolaus Ludwig Zinzendorf - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Nikolaus Ludwig von Zinzendorf, Imperial Count of Zinzendorf and Pottendorf, (May 26, 1700 – May 9, 1760), German religious and social reformer and bishop of the Moravian Church, was born at Dresden.
		Zinzendorf offered an asylum to a number of persecuted wanderers from Moravia, and permitted them to build the village of Herrnhut on a corner of his estate of Berthelsdorf.
		Zinzendorf remained a widower for one year, and then (27 June 1757) contracted a second marriage with Anna Caritas Nitschmann (24 November 1715 – 21 May 1760), on the ground that a man in his official position ought to be married.

	August Gottlieb Spangenberg - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		August Gottlieb Spangenberg (July 15, 1704 - September 18, 1792), Count Zinzendorf's successor, and bishop of the Moravian Brethren, was born at Klettenberg in the manor of Hohenstein, south of the Harz Mountains, where his father, Georg Spangenberg, was the pastor and ecclesiastical inspector.
		At first he went to Jena, but Zinzendorf at once sought to secure him as a fellow labourer, though the count wished to obtain from him a declaration which would remove from the Pietists of Halle all blame with regard to the disruption.
		As compared with Zinzendorf's own writings, this book exhibits the finer balance and greater moderation of Spangenberg's nature, while those offensive descriptions of the relation of the sinner to Christ in which the Moravians at first indulged are almost absent from it.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Bohemian Brethren
		Zinzendorf was so far unacquainted with the history and the tenets of the Bohemian Brethren, but in his charity, he granted them the desired land, on the slopes of the Hutberg in the parish of Bertlesdorf.
		The count was not slow in perceiving that the colonists, all simple labourers and craftsmen, were more concerned with church discipline and Christian rules of life than with dogma.
		As early as 1728 Zinzendorf had sent to England a deputation headed by the Moravian Johann Toltschig "to tell such as were not blinded by their lusts, but whose eyes God had opened, what God had wrought".

		Zinzendorf's visit to Wyoming Valley was followed by a missionary occupancy on the part of the Moravians, which never ceased until the Indians yielded to the encroachments of the whites and disappeared from the valley of the Susquehanna.
		The Count became acquainted with the chiefs, gained their good will, and ratified a covenant with them in behalf of the Brethren as their representative; and a belt of wampum was given him as a token of their friendship, which was used ever afterwards in the dealings of the Moravians with the Iroquois.
		Zinzendorf's visit to the Forks in 1742 had introduced the Brethren's missionaries into the homes of the Delawares, and under the influence of their preaching Teedyuscung had professed conversion and had been baptized with the Mohicans and Delawares at Gnadenhutten.

	Nikolaus Ludwig von Zinzendorf, Count Biography \| Encyclopedia of World Biography
		Count Nikolaus Ludwig von Zinzendorf (1700-1760), a German-born clergyman of the Moravian denomination, tried to unite the German religious groups in Pennsylvania into one spiritual community.
		In loyalty to this pledge, in 1722 Zinzendorf opened his estate at Berthelsdorf to a company of Moravian and Lutheran exiles who became the nucleus of the community of Herrnhut, which was one of the most active centers of missionary activity in the world in its time.
		Zinzendorf labored diligently and in 1741 called a series of seven synods, in which ministers and representative laymen from each of the sects met to find the fundamental agreements as to the nature of God and the ideals of the Christian life they all shared.

		In addition to the five hundred acres granted to Zinzendorf, fifty acres were given to Spangenberg, and fifty acres to Nitschmann, although as the latter was not going to Georgia, and the former did not intend to stay, this alone was a departure from the custom of the Trustees.

	Zinzendorf And The Moravians
		Count Zinzendorf belonged to a family which had long been distinguished in Austria by wealth and honorable positions, and had been raised to the nobility by Leopold I. His grandfather held the Protestant faith, and the free enjoyment of his faith was a leading motive for the emigration of the family from their fatherland.
		Zinzendorf was strongly averse to this result, but he found it difficult to carry on the foreign enterprises upon which the society had embarked, without falling into an independent position.
		Both in Zinzendorf and in many of his followers this zest for the sentimental appears to have been a kind of epidemical sickness for a time, especially between the years 1743 and 1750.

		This is plain from recorded sayings of Zinzendorf during the period when the transactions of Parliament took place, from the wording of the Act itself, and also from the effect of the passage of the Act in the prestige which was thus gained by the Brethren in England.
		How Count Zinzendorf himself regarded the matter we know from an address, delivered by him to his associates in London at a lovefeast on June 8, that is two days after Parliament had been notified of the royal approval.

		The Count's proclamation that women are more "receptive" to religion and that "women are also stronger than men in that they are more faithful, more responsive, and more watchful" gave them access to all aspects of Moravian life, not just the "practical positions" (Faull xxviii).
		Zinzendorf's concept of women's spiritual receptivity culminated in the unprecedented ordination of fourteen women priests by 1758 (9).
		However, after the death of Zinzendorf in 1760 the practice was ended, as was the whole communal system by 1762, possibly indicating that this "Shifting Period" phase of Moravian life was more a personality cult than a genuine religious development (Faull xxix).
