Where do Moravians fit in history and geography?
We are referred to as Moravians because the roots of our denomination stem from the regions of Moravian and Bohemia in today’s Czech Republic. Those roots began 75-100 years before the traditional Reformation as led by Martin Luther. Our history is one of non-violence, humble fellowship, and mission outreach. Our walk of non-violence has often opened the door to persecution against us, our devotion to fellowship has led others to mistakenly reason that our theological foundations are weak, and our zeal for mission has led us to places other faiths have chosen to avoid. In short, we have not been a people of power or privilege, but of servanthood, outreach, and peace. Today most of our people live in Africa.
