The Moravians and the Eastern Christian Church - and the Coptic Church

Historically, the Moravian Church had interesting intersections and relationships with other Christian traditions.

To illustrate the point - in 1740 the patriarch of Constantinople, Neophytus VI sent a letter that affirmed the orthodoxy of the Moravian Church to all of the metropolitans of the Eastern Orthodox Church. In the view of the patriarch the Moravian Church held firmly to the ancient faith.

The patriarch of the Coptic Church, Mark, commended the Moravian Church for adhering to "the simple doctrine of the Apostles, without minding in the controversies which afterwards arose."
