Recounting the early life of the resulting Fetter Lane Society, which served as the Revival’s London headquarters, Holland emphasizes the frequent visits to and from the Moravian congregations in Germany and the Netherlands. All of this was intended to support his argument that the English Anglican members of Zinzendorf’s Brüdergemeine, while accepting the Lutheran doctrine of justification, were neither Dissenters nor “Old Lutherans” (the name Zinzendorf had invented for them in order to distance the Moravian tradition from them). Rather, they had joined the Moravian Church on the understanding that in doing so they were not separating themselves from England’s established church but joining a “sister church” in a form of “double belonging.” This text thus illuminates not only the early history of the Moravian Church in England but also Anglican church life in 1730s London and the origins of Wesleyan Methodism.","PeriodicalId":40312,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Moravian History","volume":"22 1","pages":"54 - 81"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2022-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42869154","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A close reading of the 1731 creed, which has not been published in English before, will reveal that the theology of the Herrnhut community differed from the orthodox Lutheran position in important points. This is all the more significant, as the 1731 creed was written at a time when Zinzendorf was trying to convince the public that the community at Herrnhut adhered to the Augsburg Confession.","PeriodicalId":40312,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Moravian History","volume":"22 1","pages":"20 - 53"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2022-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44104080","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Missionaries documented accounts of their interactions to rationalize their presence across the island and secure funds necessary to expand their outreach. During this period, Moravian missionary documents exhibited a stark increase in mentions of Obeah, a multifaceted Afro-Caribbean spiritual practice that held both restorative and destructive potential. Through an analysis of Moravian missionary documents coming out of Jamaica during the post-emancipation period, the author argues that Moravian missionaries portrayed Obeah as the antithesis to Moravian missionary work to justify their presence across Jamaica and, in turn, documented the forced confessions of Obeah practitioners to emphasize the power of their evangelical outreach for Moravian congregants and other potential supporters.","PeriodicalId":40312,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Moravian History","volume":"22 1","pages":"1 - 19"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2022-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46639296","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
