About Moravian Church
One of the oldest Protestant churches, tracing back to the followers of Jan Hus in Bohemia. Renewed in 1722 at Herrnhut in Saxony under Count Zinzendorf. Moravians pioneered Protestant overseas missions and a continuous prayer watch. Today many members live in Tanzania and the Caribbean.
