		Whatever white Brethren thought of them, the crucial point was what they thought of the missionaries and their teachings and what, if any, purpose they believed Christianity served in shielding them from slavery, the fracturing of families, the loss of land, or other consequences of their encounters with Europeans.
		Moravian teachings sought to shield non-Europeans from some depredations, but they also defended and even participated in a conservative social order that witnessed some of the most horrific abuses of the age, most notably the African slave trade.
		An older school of Moravian historiography on the missions is represented by such works as Joseph E. Hutton, A History of Moravian Missions (London, 1922); and J. Taylor Hamilton, A History of the Missions of the Moravian Church during the Eighteenth and Nineteenth Centuries (Bethlehem, Pa., 1901).

		Moravian dialoguers commented that their theology was expressed most often and most clearly not in formal propositions or confessional documents, and certainly not in polemics or dialectics.
		The Ancient Moravian Church underwent a number of transitions in doctrinal perspective as it developed and articulated its expressions of the Christian faith and mission.
		Whereas bishops in the Ancient Moravian church had been diocesan, in the Renewed church they were intended to provide a ministry for the Unity's mission and not to be related to dioceses and thus competitive to the established church and their offices.

	Moravian Brethren from the Czechlands
		The Moravians remained firm in their resolve and declared that if the introduction of their ancient system and the establishment of a distinct Church of the Brethren was not possible in Herrnhut, they would turn elsewhere to seek another location.
		The revival of the Brethren's Church was finally legitimized on March 13, 1735 by the consecration of David Nitschmann (1696-1772) as its first Bishop from the hands of Bishop David B. Jab1onsky (1660-1741), Comenius's grandson, thus assuring the continuity of the ancient Unitas Fratrum (19).
		The Moravian Brethren were the followers of the teachings of the Czech religious reformer and martyr John Hus and the their heirs of the Bohemian Brethren who found temporary refuge in Moravia and later in Herrnhut, Lusatia, Saxony under the patronage of Count Nicholas Ludwig von Zinzendorf (1700-1760).

	History of the Moravian Church
		It is easy to say that this Moravian Bishop had no right to split families into sections, to herd the husbands in one abode and the wives in another, to tear children from their mothers’ arms and place them under guardians.
		As the Brethren, therefore, preached to the Indians, they were at first suspected of treachery, and were even accused of inciting the Indians to rebellion; but Spangenberg proved their loyalty to the hilt.
		At Bethlehem and the other Brethren’s settlements he had sentinels appointed and barricades constructed; at all specially vulnerable points he had blockhouses erected; and the result was that the Brethren’s settlements were among the safest places in the country.

		The Moravians were invited by Whitefield to settle on "the Barony of Nazareth," a five-thousand-acre tract of land near the forks of the Delaware and the Lehigh.
		The Moravians never attempted a "walking purchase." At Nazareth the Indians were paid for their huts, a peach grove, and a little field of wheat that were on the land of the Moravian settlement.
		At first the Moravian community looked askance at the great steel mills and the university on the other side of the river, but by 1918 it had become reconciled to living in the same world with them and the two settlements were combined to form one city, the Bethlehem of today.

	History of the Moravian Church
		To the Brethren those doctrines were all fundamental, all essential to salvation, and all precious parts of Christian experience; and, therefore, they defended them against the Rationalists, not on intellectual, but on moral and spiritual grounds.
		He there adopted the Brethren’s conception of religion; he became a Moravian in everything but the name; his wife passed through the same spiritual experience; he then settled down as Calvinist pastor in the colony of Anhalt; and finally, for the sake of his children, he visited the Brethren again at Gnadenfrei (1783).
		He admired the Moravian Church because she was free; and in one of his later writings he declared that if that Church could only be reformed according to the spirit of the age, she would be one of the grandest Churches in the world.

		At their Sunday services the Brethren henceforward were to use the Book of Common Prayer; their ministers were to be ordained by Anglican and Moravian Bishops conjointly; he himself was to be the head of this Anglican-Moravian Church; and thus the English Moravians would be grafted on to the Church of England.
		He declared that the Moravians were a very dangerous body; that they were really a new sect; that, like the Papists, they had a Pope, and submitted to their Pope in all things; that they made their Church supreme in temporal matters; and that thus they destroyed the power of the civil magistrate.
		Next, the advocate of the Brethren was to supply the Commissioners for Trade and Plantations with a complete list of Moravian bishops and pastors, together with their handwriting and seal; and, finally, anyone who falsely claimed to belong to the Brethren's Church was to be punished as a wilful perjurer.

	Moravian History Macomb
		It illustrates grandly the devotion, courage, endurance, and missionary enterprise of the Moravian brethren, who, next to the indefatigable "fl robes" were the first emissaries for Christ among the savages of the new world.

		Religious services were held the same evening around the bivouac fire, for which the Moravian text of the day seemed specially fitting: "For ye shall go out with joy and be led forth with peace." Tents were pitched, but in a few days huts were erected, which in due time became substantial cabins.

	Unity of the Brethren - Doctrine
		One of the emphases of the Unity of the Brethren from the outset has been upon the Bible as the sourcebook of all Christian truth.
		We believe that the Bible is not only to be regarded as the heart of God's revelation of His person and purpose for His creation, but also as a standard for Christian faith and conduct.
		But as Brethren, we do believe that Christ is mysteriously present in the two sacraments of baptism and Holy Communion.
