The establishment of the Moravian church as a Christian church occurred as a reaction against certain alleged errors within the Roman Catholic Church.
The Moravians who came to the United States in the early 1700s were immigrants originating from settlements on the estates of Count Nicolas Ludwig von Zinzendorf in present-day Germany.
The Moravians later found a home in Pennsylvania, where the colony provided some of the greatest religious freedom to be found in the world.
Moravian Church,&sp;Renewed Church of the Brethren, or Unitas Fratrum[yOOnE´tAs frA´troom] Pronunciation Key, an evangelical Christian communion whose adherents are sometimes called United Brethren or Herrnhuters.
The Moravians established excellent schools and printing presses, but by the end of the Thirty Years War (1648), only a remnant of the original movement remained.
The Moravians emphasize conduct rather than doctrine, and their church is governed by provincial synods, the bishops having only spiritual and administrative authority.
