1 Five Centuries of Women's Leadership in the Moravian Church
Five Centuries of Women’s Leadership in the Moravian Church 12th Moravian Women’s Conference Sandy Cove, Maryland June 2015 Craig D. Atwood [Slide 1 – Title] Introduction [Slide 2 – Comenius Quote] Women “also are formed in the image of God, and share in His grace and in the Kingdom of the world to come. They are endowed with equal sharpness of mind and capacity for Knowledge (often with more than the opposite sex), and they are able to attain the highest positions, since they have often been called by God Himself to rule over nations, to give sound advice to Kings and princes, to the study of medicine and other things which benefit the human race, even to the office of prophesying and of inveighing against priests and bishops. Why, therefore, should we admit them to the alphabet, and afterwards drive them away from booKs?”1 [Slide 3 – Comenius Portrait] So wrote Moravian bishop John Amos Comenius in his Great Didactic three and a half centuries ago. He was a prominent public witness to the traditional Moravian belief that all of God’s children should be valued and encouraged to pursue their vocations in the world, and his words still inspire us. Comenius was writing to educated men in a society that systematically and sometimes brutally denied women the opportunity to pursue their own sense of vocation and develop fully as beloved children of God. Comenius was writing to a society that tolerated violence against women in their own homes and that largely ignored the suffering of poor women without homes. -

A History of the Moravian Church
A History of the Moravian Church Author(s): Hutton, J. E. Publisher: Grand Rapids, MI: Christian Classics Ethereal Library Description: The Moravian Church, founded by Jan Hus (or John Huss), was one of the first Protestant churches, perhaps even older than any Lutheran church. Hutton tells the story of the Moravian Church, dividing it into four sections. He begins with the life and martyrdom of Jan Hus, then documents the 18th century revival under Nikolaus von Zinzendorf, the famed Pietist and social reformer. Following the revival, the Moravians began to spread their faith throughout the world, and by the turn of the 20th century, they had firm establish- ments throughout Europe and North America. Today, the Moravian Church has nearly one million members, and it in- fluences millions more.
