Early Moravian pacifism verses the Western "culture of death"


"The most merciful thing that the large family does to one of its infant members is to kill it." --Margaret Sanger, Founder of Planned Parenthood.

The early Moravian, pacifistic Christians, would not, could not, comprehend the current "culture of death" in Western secular society - and sadly far far too often in the church of Jesus Christ - both Roman and Protestant. A church that treats abortion and euthanasia with a wink and a nod has much to learn from the early Moravians. 

The Western "culture of death", inside and outside the Christian church offers up a fragmented view of the human being. Further,  it is comfortable obscuring the Holy One and His Revelation. 

The early Moravians by contrast understood the value of the person and the benevolence of God. We have much to learn. Agree?
