A Popular History of the Moravian Church This book first appeared in 1956 in time for the 500th anniversary of the Moravian Church in 1957. It quickly found a place in the homes of church members and as a text in confirmation classes. Through Five Hundred Years was updated in 1967, 1974,1990 and 1996. Further developments in the Moravian Church, especially in what were in the past called mission fields, have made this revision essential to understand the story of the denomination.weiterlesen
