Nathaniel Seidel, 1718 - 82, a Bishop of the Moravian Church, and for twenty years the President of the American Provincial Board. He was born at Lauban, Silesia, on October 2, 1718, the son of a Bohe mian emigrant, and learned the trade of cloth-weaving. Having found Jesus as his Saviour he joined the Moravian Church at Herrn hut in 1739, and came to Bethlehem in 1742 to engage in evangelistic work. He was appointed itinerant missionary among the Indians and white settlers, and to this end made many journeys, always on foot, laboring with great zeal and success. In 1748 he was ordained a Presbyter. Five years later he was sent on an official visitation to the Danish West Indies, the next year to North Carolina, (where he founded the church at Bethabara, ) and the following year to the mission in Surinam, S. A. In 1758 he was consecrated a Bishop, and after Zinzendorf's death became President of the Provincial Board of Elders in place of Bishop Spangenberg, who returned to Germany. He was married to Anna Joanna Fiesch, a niece of Anna Nitschmann. They left no children. He departed this life on May.

Download or read book The Music of the Moravian Church in America written by Nola Reed Knouse and published by University Rochester Press. This book was released on 2008 with total page 374 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Moravians, or Bohemian Brethren, early Protestants who settled in Pennsylvania and North Carolina in the eighteenth century, brought a musical repertoire that included hymns, sacred vocal works accompanied by chamber orchestra, and instrumental music by the best-known European composers of the day. Moravian composers -- mostly pastors and teachers trained in the styles and genres of the Haydn-Mozart era -- crafted thousands of compositions for worship, and copied and collected thousands of instrumental works for recreation and instruction. The book's chapters examine sacred and secular works, both for instruments -- including piano solo -- and for voices. The Music of the Moravian Church demonstrates the varied roles that music played in one of America's most distinctive ethno-cultural populations, and presents many distinctive pieces that performers and audiences continue to find rewarding. Contributors: Alice M. Caldwell, C. Daniel Crews, Lou Carol Fix, Pauline M. Fox, Albert H. Frank, Nola Reed Knouse, Laurence Libin, Paul M. Peucker, and Jewel A. Smith. Nola Reed Knouse, director of the Moravian Music Foundation since 1994, is active as a flautist, composer, and arranger. She is the editor of The Collected Wind Music of David Moritz Michael.

This book was released on 2018-05-27 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the Introduction. Of the interesting and attractive places in historic Bethlehem there is perhaps none which is more sought out by strangers and which we hold in greater veneration than the old Moravian Cemetery, "God's Acre," as our fathers called their burying ground. Its central location, well kept walks, stately shade trees, rustic benches, and elevated position affording a fine view of the Lehigh Mountains, all combine to make it a pleasant resort for old and young. The solemn stillness which pervades the place, in contrast with the noise and commotion of business and travel on the adjoining thoroughfares, invites the passer-by to peaceful rest. The uniform simplicity of more than 2600 graves arranged in parallel rows, with their plain tombstones and concise epitaphs marking the resting places of rich and poor, high and low alike, teaches an impressive lesson as to the common brotherhood of mortal man. Once a year, at the inspiring service held within its gates on Easter morning, towns-people and visitors gather in a vast concourse to give joyful expression to the faith in a blessed resurrection of all those who have died in the Lord. An additional interest attaching to this Cemetery lies in the remarkable mingling of races, the graves of men and women from different nationalities of Europe being interspersed with those of many Indians and Negroes who, through the labors of the Moravian Brethren, found salvation in Christ. The descendants of Bethlehem Moravian families, furthermore, can here trace their pedigree through a number of generations and find all the representative names of the past 155 years of the town's existence. But the greatest attraction of this historic spot lies in the contemplation of the life records made by many of the men and women whose earthly remains have: found, a: resting. place here.. Detailed biographies of all those prominent in the church and community, and a narration of the varied experiences through which they passed, as outlined in the official Record of Interments, would fill several interesting volumes. For our purpose it will be sufficient to give brief abstracts of these biographies....

Download or read book A History of Moravian Missions written by J. E. Hutton and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-10-14 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is an original reprinting of the official Moravian missions history with new maps detailing their numerous missionary journeys. This printing is the first of three volumes, and covers the initial years of Moravian missions. Get beyond the myth and pulpit folklore about the Moravians and see what God really did in using this group of believers to bring the Gospel to unreached people groups around the world in the 17th and 18th centuries. This band of refugees, displaced by Catholic persecutions in their own land, found safety with the benevolent Count Zinzendorf in Herrnhut, Germany. After the group experienced a true Holy Spirit revival, Count Zinzendorf found in them a zealous band of dedicated missionaries that carried the Gospel across the world while those back home maintained an unbroken, 24/7 prayer meeting for a hundred years. Just as remarkable is that the Moravians went out with no steady financial support. They were 'tentmakers' in most places they went to enable the rapid spread of workers without reliance on a large home financial support network. The Moravians are among the most significant, and least known, influencers of the modern missions movement that began in the 1700s and continues to today. John Wesley, founder of the Methodist church, witnessed the Moravians during his fateful voyage across the Atlantic, later attributing Moravian influence to his own conversion. William Carey, considered the father of modern missions and a pioneer in bringing the Gospel to India, attributed his initial impetus for missions after reading about the activity of the Moravians. How did God use a band of largely uneducated craftsman and farmers to reach the world? You should read this definitive history of the Moravians to find out!

Download or read book When Scotland Was Jewish written by Elizabeth Caldwell Hirschman and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2015-05-07 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The popular image of Scotland is dominated by widely recognized elements of Celtic culture. But a significant non-Celtic influence on Scotland's history has been largely ignored for centuries? This book argues that much of Scotland's history and culture from 1100 forward is Jewish. The authors provide evidence that many of the national heroes, villains, rulers, nobles, traders, merchants, bishops, guild members, burgesses, and ministers of Scotland were of Jewish descent, their ancestors originating in France and Spain. Much of the traditional historical account of Scotland, it is proposed, rests on fundamental interpretive errors, perpetuated in order to affirm Scotland's identity as a Celtic, Christian society. A more accurate and profound understanding of Scottish history has thus been buried. The authors' wide-ranging research includes examination of census records, archaeological artifacts, castle carvings, cemetery inscriptions, religious seals, coinage, burgess and guild member rolls, noble genealogies, family crests, portraiture, and geographic place names.
