	Jon J. Sensbach, A Separate Canaan: The Making of an Afro-Moravian World in North Carolina, 1763-1840. Review by ...
		The Moravians were well acquainted with the harsh realities of human servitude--they had organized one of the earliest Protestant missions to Africans in the Caribbean--and yet their sympathies toward the spiritual plight of slaves did not automatically confer an abolitionist stance.
		The Moravian church offered fl members an opportunity to form enhanced kinship networks that allowed for greater family cohesion, as well as the protection of converted spouses and their children from sale and forced separation.
		Sensbach characterizes the Moravians' relationship to African Americans as "fraternalistic;" they were "nominal spiritual equals" who each "owed allegiance to a higher authority, Christ." (120) Within the bounds of their spiritual association, at least for a time, fl and white church members existed upon common ground.

	Moravians sponcer John Killinger to speak at Home Moravian Church
