The town of Herrnhut grew but major disagreements emerged and by 1727 the community was divided into quarreling factions.
Zinzendorf used both his authority and his personality to restore the outward appearance of unity. More important than that, good as it was, on 13 August 1727 the community underwent a dramatic spiritual transformation. This followed an experience in which they were visited by the Holy Spirit in a most unusual way. It is described as being similar to that recorded in the Bible on the day of Pentecost. The renewed Moravian church was reborn.
