The motto of the Moravian Church: “In essentials, unity; in non-essentials, liberty; in all things, love.”

Essentials:  Christ as Savior is the overarching essential.  Bible, Baptism, the Holy Communion, the Trinity are other essentials to the Moravian faith.

Non-Essentials:  Variety of worship forms, musical selections, clergy styles, the manner of baptism, are non-essentials. 

In all things Love:  Love has the power to overcome differences by refocusing concern on all that is held in common.  Love binds individuals into a community of faith.
