Memorials of the Moravian Church, Vol. 1 (Classic Reprint)


Book Description

Excerpt from Memorials of the Moravian Church, Vol. 1 It is proposed by the Council to include in future volumes, among other papers of historical interest, Sketches of Nazareth and the adjacent settlements, by James Henry, and a complete Bibliotheca Moraviensis, by the Rev. Edmund de Schweinitz. At the same time it desires it to be understood that it is not answerable for any opinions or observations that may appear in the publications of the Association, the Editors of the several works being alone responsible for the same. The edition of these Memorials being limited and the cost thereby enhanced, the Council finds it necessary to rigorously abstain from incurring all additional expense, such as that of presentation copies, of commission, of advertising, etc. And hence too it would hereby solicit the co-operation of all subscribers in furthering the interests of the Association, by extending its membership among their friends and acquaintances. The present volume has unavoidably exceeded the limits proposed by the Council in its Circular. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Transactions of the Moravian Historical Society, Vol. 1


Book Description

Excerpt from Transactions of the Moravian Historical Society, Vol. 1: 1857-58 Among the many incidents of stirring interest connected with the early history of our Church in America, there are few more touching than that which this oak-tree witnessed. Rather than perform what was contrary to conscience, these brethren had abandoned their comfortable homes and smiling fields, and, trusting alone to the protecting provi dence of the Saviour, embarked for Pennsylvania. And here they are, singing glad hymns of thanksgiving and faith, - around them the dense forest, still and darksome; above them only the branches of the stalwart oak and the stars of the Almighty, so silent and watchful; and here they lay down to sleep in fearless security and trusting confidence. And if the task that awaited the learned Magister of Jena and his companions on the morrow was the humble one, as hired laborers, of digging out the foundations, and quarrying the stone, and felling and hew ing the timber, to build another man's house, it was work cheerfully done, for it was labor performed in their Mas ter's name, and for his glory.

A Brief History of the Moravian Church, Vol. 1


Book Description

Excerpt from A Brief History of the Moravian Church, Vol. 1: A Series of Papers Prepared by Teachers of the Salem Home Sunday School for Use in the Classes But the Roman Church heard of their success, and determined to claim the work on the ground that the first introduction of Chris tianity into the country had come through its members. Cyrill and Methodius were summoned to Rome, but Pope Nicholas died before they arrived. His successor, Adrian II, thought it would be to'bis advantage to have Bohemia and Moravia comprise a diocese independent of both the German Bishops and the Greek Patriarch, and directly tributary to him, so he received the missionaries very graciously, approved of all they had done, and offered to make them Bishops. Cyrill, whose health was failing, declined the honor, and died a few weeks later, but Methodius promised him obedience, and was consecrated Archbishop of Pannonia, which was the ancient name of that diocese. He returned to Moravia, and under his guid ance the good work spread into Bohemia, and the first Christian church was built near Prague. The jealousy of the German bishops then became more intense, and they complained at Rome until Methodius was again called thither, and while he triumphantly vindicated his course the Pope ordered that the Gospels must be publicly read first in Latin and then in Slavonian, and a German suffragan, or assistant bishop, was appointed. From this small beginning the power of.the Roman Church increased until Bohemia and Moravia were entirely in their hands.

The Demuth Family and the Moravian Church (Classic Reprint)


Book Description

Excerpt from The Demuth Family and the Moravian Church The history of the Demuth family is closely connected with that of the renewed Moravian Church. The name is in the list of charter members of the mother church. There were three families of Demuths represented in the community at Herrnhut when the Unitas Fratrum was given a new lease of life through the instrumen tality of Count Zinzendorf. There were Demuths among the pilgrims who came to Georgia and to Pennsylvania to blaze mission trails in the forests of pre-revolutionary America. Demuths served in the Revolutionary War and the graves of two of them are near the two memorial monuments in the Moravian Cemetery at Gnaden hutten, Ohio. Many Demuths and their descendants are still active members of the renewed Moravian Church, or Unitas Fratrum. It is fitting and proper that they and their posterity should know the full story of the Bohemian Brethren and become familiar with the ancient origins of the Moravian Church. The following sonnet en titled, The Young Patriot, by Frances Hall, is to the point. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
