		Always essential to the Moravians has been the emphasis on a "heart religion" of piety and joy; on the role of music in worship and in life; and on education for all.
		The Moravian Music Foundation was founded and chartered in North Carolina in 1956, to preserve, study, edit and publish the music retained in the Archives of the Moravian Church in America, Northern and Southern Provinces.

		It depicts a session of the Moravian synod held at Herrnhut in 1750.
		Of the twenty-four people at the center table, only six were women, and Zinzendorf sat at the head of the table, his wife at his left - a symbol of his leading role in the Church and her position, important but subordinate to his.

		As a result study of the Moravians in Labrador is one of the few aspects of Labrador history to have more-or-less developed distinct schools of thought.
		The "old school" emphasized the Christian achievements of the missions and relied on Moravian and other contemporary accounts; the "new school" grew out of anthropological field work and was largely critical of the Moravians' "disregard" for "heathen" Inuit culture, which had been an intricate and valid response to northern conditions.
		The Mission Board published a similar German-language periodical."
