THE STORY OF US...MORAVIANS YESTERDAY, TODAY AND TOMORROWHave you ever wondered what is unique about the Moravian church among other Christian Churches?
On September 13, 14, and 15, you are invited to join Marie Couts, Director of Christian Education for the Eastern District, and the Rev. Denny Rohn, retired Moravian pastor, for a weekend at Mt. Morris where they will lead us in exploring our Moravian identity and how our past impacts what we do today. As this study will reveal, history must not only serve as a reflection of “days gone by,” but always serve as the foundational thread that links past -- to present -- to future. Sessions will include: The birth of our theology Jan Hus, Gregory the Patriarch, Luke of Prague The growth of our faith John Amos Comenius, Christian David, Count Zinzendorf Our faith in action Community of Herrnhut, Brotherly Agreement, Anthony A world-wide unity Missions – then and now Essentials, Ministerials, Incidentals How Moravians read and understand scripture Connecting past with present and future Why we do what we do – and how the connecting threads of our church run from Hus to here and beyond To register scan the QR code or pick up a form at the WDCEC table.
