To understand the Moravians of old one must have some acquaintance with Count Zinzendorf (1700-1760) - the greatest patron of Moravians in the 18th century.
The Count propagated “heart religion”, where religion was a matter of feeling rather than of reasoning. In this regard Jesus was at the center of everything. “The Savior is our God,” he was fond of saying.
Zinzendorf sought to carry the Gospel message of Christ’s salvation to the ends of the earth. He wished to reach not just the “heathen” but also the Christian.
