What is a Moravian?
http://personal.lig.bellsouth.net/lig/c/a/captreb/#Bethabara MoravianIt begin with John Hus, of Bohemia, the "reformer before the reformation". He protested against the abuses he found in his Roman Catholic Church and with fearless, fiery eloquence called on all around him to awake to righteousness and live Godly lives based on the doctrines found in the Holy Scriptures. His words and their truth carried conviction to many souls, but won for him martyrs death at the state on July 6, 1415, because with courage, he refused to deny his faith and retract his statements.
Around March 1, 1457 , the Unitas Fratrum ( Unity of the Brethren) organized an adopted the precepts of the Bible as their rule of conduct. Their Society grew rapidly.
In that day of Apostolic Succession was essential for a church or recognized standing: so in 1467, a Waldensian Bishop was asked to it to the Unitas Fratrum by consecrating, as bishops, three men belonging to the Unity. With this an independent ministry was established. The Unitas Fratrum became the first fully organized Protestant Church.
Years of persecution followed. A young nobleman known as Nicholas Lewis, Count Zinzendorf, became interested in the work of these dedicated people. He provided a home for some on his estate during a time of further persecution.
From there Moravians went forth as the first missionary church into many areas to preach the gospel. A settlement was begun in Bethlehem, PA and from there the first settlers came to Bethabara, Bethabara is the oldest Moravian Congregation in the South. In the year 2003, we celebrate our 250th year. http://personal.lig.bellsouth.net/lig/c/a/captreb/#Bethabara Moravian unofficial site
