Alongside his formal duties\, he also composed a significant amount of occasional Latin poetry. Almost all of his poems double as letters\, many of them addressed to important figures like Ludwig von Zinzendorf\, August Spangenberg\, and Matthew Hehl. After introducing Wedsted and his historical and literary contexts\, this talk will focus on the moments in his poems that are likely to be most consequential for Moravian historians: his references to Christian Renatus von Zinzendorf and the “Sifting Time”\, his accounts of various celebrations in Bethlehem\, and his descriptions of crossing the Atlantic. \nDr. Aaron Palmore is Assistant Teaching Professor in Classics at Loyola University Maryland\nOur lecture series is sponsored by Campbell\, Rappold & Yurasits LLP \nRegistration for this event has ended.

Many of the localities where 18th-century Moravians settled continue to be important Moravian centers: Herrnhut\, Nazareth\, Winston-Salem\, Bethlehem\, to name a few. Moravian settlements and missions were more than mere geographic locations—they were spiritual landscapes. This panel will focus on three aspects of the Moravian creation of sacred places in the 18th century. Through these presentations\, we gain a deeper appreciation of how Moravian faith was shaped by and\, in turn\, shaped the places they lived. \n\nKatherine Faull\, Moravian University: “Sacred Confluence: Place\, Religion\, and Cultural Exchange at the Moravian Mission of Shamokin\, 1742–1755”\nPaul Peucker\, Moravian Archives: “The Mythical Attraction of the Moravian Town of Herrnhaag”\nJosh Follweiler\, Princeton Theological Seminary: “Moravian Urban Planning as Spiritual Practice”\n\nThis program is offered by the Moravian Archives in collaboration with the Institute for Moravian History and World Heritage. \n\n\n \n \n Registration lecture October 27\, 2026\n You can register to attend in person in the reading room of the Moravian Archives or to receive a Zoom link to watch the live stream.\nAfter you submit your registration\, we will send you a email with further information.

At the height of his preaching career\, Sunday held campaigns in America’s cities that could last several months and were attended by millions of people. His on-stage antics\, colloquial speech\, and fiery sermons drew both praise and scorn across the nation. In 1915\, Sunday held a major campaign in Philadelphia and ten years later\, in 1925\, he brought his campaign machine to Winston-Salem. As Billy Sunday came to town\, Moravians in both the northern and southern provinces had opportunity to weigh in on his controversial methods. Jared Burkholder will discuss what Moravians had to say and whether they found Sunday’s preaching consistent with Moravian tradition or not. \nDr. Jared S. Burkholder is a Scholar in Residence at Moravian Theological Seminary. \nOur lecture series is sponsored by Campbell\, Rappold & Yurasits LLP URL:https://www.moravianchurcharchives.org/event/lecture-jared-burkholder/ LOCATION:Address\, 41 West Locust Street\, Bethlehem\, PA\, 18018\, United States CATEGORIES:Featured,Lectures GEO:40.6298561;-75.379958 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Address 41 West Locust Street Bethlehem PA 18018 United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=41 West Locust Street:geo:-75.379958,40.6298561 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20251007T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20251007T130000 DTSTAMP:20250909T185508Z CREATED:20250813T185738Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250909T185508Z UID:10000276-1759838400-1759842000@www.moravianchurcharchives.org SUMMARY:Lecture: Poetry\, Companionship\, and the Divine: The Life Journey of Bishop Georg Heinrich Loskiel (1740–1815) DESCRIPTION:noontime lecture at the Moravian Archives by Dr. Māra Grudule\nin person at the Moravian Archives; online via Zoom (for online participation\, please fill out the form below) \nGeorg Heinrich Loskiel (1740-1814)\, a Baltic German\, is known for his history of the Moravian missions among the Native American. He served as pastor of the Bethlehem Moravian congregation from 1801 until 1811. During this time the large church building\, now called Central Moravian Church\, was built. During her presentation\, Māra Grudule will clarify who the Baltic Germans were and what role the Moravians played in the Baltics.

Malone\, Curator at Historic Trappe\nOur lecture series is sponsored by Campbell\, Rappold & Yurasits LLP \nThe Moravian town of Bethlehem went through a series of developmental changes that saw the community go from a closed-form of church-controlled communalism to an entirely open society. This change was precipitated by the outside world’s direct influence on the Moravian’s mission efforts towards the Native Americans. Bethlehem went from an economy based on supporting their missionary goals to one that focused on pleasing outsiders through the goods and services they provided to visitors. Outsiders flocked to Bethlehem for their health\, to be entertained\, and for the church’s international trade connections. Their new economy of goods introduced the Moravians to new textiles\, books\, and other objects\, but most importantly\, to endless cycles of the wider world’s changing tastes. Outsider visitation resulted in architectural\, spatial\, and social changes within the town and the wider Moravian community that slowly dissolved Bethlehem’s communal boundaries until the town was finally open to all. \n  \nChristopher Malone is a curator and scholar who focuses on the history and material culture of the Pennsylvania Germans with a special emphasis on the Moravians and other intentional communities. Christopher completed a Masters in Architecture at Syracuse University and a Masters in American Material Culture from the Winterthur Program. His thesis centered on the ways that outsider visitation changed Moravian material culture in the community’s first one hundred years in Pennsylvania. He won the program’s E. McClung Fleming Thesis prize for the most distinguished thesis. Christopher has worked for the Moravian Historical Society and was the curator at the American Swedish Historical Museum. He is currently the Curator at Historic Trappe\, Digital Marketing Manager at the Lutheran Archives Center at Philadelphia\, and the Content Curator for the publication Americana Insights. In his spare time\, Christopher is a columnist for Maine Antiques Digest\, and is the editor of The Daily Antiquarian\, a blog focusing on the history\, architecture\, and material culture of the American Mid-Atlantic. \n\n  URL:https://www.moravianchurcharchives.org/event/lecture-an-establishment-of-order-and-prosperity-outsider-visitation-to-moravian-bethlehem/ LOCATION:Address\, 41 West Locust Street\, Bethlehem\, PA\, 18018\, United States CATEGORIES:Featured,Lectures GEO:40.6298561;-75.379958 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Address 41 West Locust Street Bethlehem PA 18018 United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=41 West Locust Street:geo:-75.379958,40.6298561 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20250429T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20250429T130000 DTSTAMP:20250313T202814Z CREATED:20250226T202951Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250313T202814Z UID:10000266-1745928000-1745931600@www.moravianchurcharchives.org SUMMARY:Lecture: Modernizing the Southern Province Moravian Archives DESCRIPTION:online lecture by Meaghan O’Riordan\, Archivist of the Moravian Church in America\, Southern Province \nWhen Meaghan O’Riordan arrived to serve as archivist for the Moravian Archives in the Southern Province in August of 2022\, the archives had been without an archivist for two years. It was clear that this was a well-loved and treasured collection and organization that needed proper time and attention to bring operations in-line with 21st-century best practices. Materials were housed in archival boxes but not the best kind of archival boxes. There were inventories for every box but no online finding aids so users could search for what they might need. The memoir collection had been almost completely scanned\, but those scans were only available upon request. In just 2.5 years\, O’Riordan\, along with a team she has built\, has improved on all this and more. Join us on April 29\, 2025\, from 12:00 p.m. – 1:00 p.m. to learn more about the changes at the Moravian Archives in the Southern Province. \n  \n  \n  URL:https://www.moravianchurcharchives.org/event/lecture-the-southern-province-archives/ LOCATION:Address\, 41 West Locust Street\, Bethlehem\, PA\, 18018\, United States CATEGORIES:Featured,Lectures GEO:40.6298561;-75.379958 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Address 41 West Locust Street Bethlehem PA 18018 United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=41 West Locust Street:geo:-75.379958,40.6298561 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20240924T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20240924T170000 DTSTAMP:20240326T192038Z CREATED:20240326T190447Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240326T192038Z UID:10000207-1727193600-1727197200@www.moravianchurcharchives.org SUMMARY:Lecture: "On Tour with the 'Nation's Guest': Lafayette in America\, 1824–25" DESCRIPTION:Lecture at the Moravian Archives\, with reception to follow\, and via Zoom\nDiane Windham Shaw\, Director of Special Collections\, Emerita\, Lafayette College \nAugust 2024 marks the 200th anniversary of the beginning of the Marquis de Lafayette’s “Farewell Tour” of America. This 1824-25 tour was an event unlike any other in American history. Fifty years after the American Revolution\, America welcomed back her youngest major-general with an outpouring of national affection on an unprecedented scale. Everywhere Lafayette went during this thirteen-month odyssey\, and he visited each of the 24 states then in the Union\, he was greeted by adoring throngs of citizens\, who organized elaborate welcome parades\, receptions\, dinners\, and balls in his honor. Lafayette truly deserved his sobriquet “The Nation’s Guest\,” as he insisted on spending time not just with the country’s elite\, but also with ordinary citizens\, as well as African Americans and Indigenous Americans. Although he did not visit Bethlehem during the tour\, the time he spent among the Moravians in October 1777 as he recovered from a wound sustained at the Battle of Brandywine was an important part of his American story. \n  URL:https://www.moravianchurcharchives.org/event/lecture-on-tour-with-the-nations-guest-lafayette-in-america-1824-25/ LOCATION:Address\, 41 West Locust Street\, Bethlehem\, PA\, 18018\, United States CATEGORIES:Featured,Lectures GEO:40.6298561;-75.379958 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Address 41 West Locust Street Bethlehem PA 18018 United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=41 West Locust Street:geo:-75.379958,40.6298561 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20240820T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20240820T130000 DTSTAMP:20240729T174352Z CREATED:20240530T151310Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240729T174352Z UID:10000214-1724155200-1724158800@www.moravianchurcharchives.org SUMMARY:Lecture: "Jesus Makes My Heart Rejoice": The Origins of a Popular Moravian Hymn DESCRIPTION:Lecture via Zoom\nby Dr. Paul Peucker \nThis year it is 300 years ago that Henriette Louise von Hayn was born in Idstein\, Germany.

The Life of an Enslaved Man from St. Thomas" DESCRIPTION:Lecture at the Moravian Archives\, with reception to follow; and via Zoom\nby Dr. Christina Petterson and Dr. Paul Peucker \nAnton Ulrich\, an African man from St. Thomas\, is usually remembered as the instigator of Moravian mission work. After meeting Zinzendorf in Copenhagen in 1731\, Anton traveled to Herrnhut and gave the members of the community a first-hand account of the situation of the enslaved in St. Thomas. As a result\, two men\, Leonhard Dober and David Nitschmann\, traveled to St. Thomas the next year. Their missionary efforts stand at the beginning of Moravian mission work. But as well-known as Anton Ulrich’s name may be\, very little is known about him. After giving a moving account of life on St. Thomas\, Anton quickly disappears from the stage. This presentation attempts to uncover details about his life\, based on archival records in Denmark\, Germany\, and the United States\, many of which were previously unknown.

Bethlehem’s authorities claimed that there was “no difference” between enslaved and free Moravians. But by amplifying the voices of Bethlehem’s enslaved and free Afro-Moravians\, and by analyzing the neglected 1780 Register of enslaved persons in Northampton County\, we can begin to see the difference that slavery made in the Moravian settlement of Bethlehem.

Dr. Craig Atwood\, Moravian Theological Seminary \nIn 1749 the British Parliament passed the “Moravian Act\,” which affirmed the legitimacy of the Moravian Church as “an antient [sic] and episcopal church”. This act granted the Moravians unusual privileges to operate schools\, churches\, and missions in the British Empire\, and Count Zinzendorf planned to make London the headquarters of the global Moravian network. But soon Zinzendorf was embroiled in controversy stemming from the Sifting Time and a financial scandal. In this lecture we will look at some of the sermons that Zinzendorf preached in English in the 1750s as he tried to address the controversy. We will focus on a long sermon preached to the Single Brothers’ Choir just a few months after the death of his son and heir Christian Renatus.

The fifty-eight families that lived there were dispersed across the remaining communities of northern and central Labrador. The legacy of Hebron’s closure looms large in the recent history of the region. Less well known\, however\, is the story of the removal of tens of thousands of pages of church records from Labrador communities that same year. After the decision to close Hebron was announced\, Moravian missionaries invited William Whiteley\, an archivist-historian at Memorial University of Newfoundland\, to assess records in Happy Valley-Goose Bay\, North West River\, Makkovik\, Hopedale\, Nain\, and Hebron and remove them for processing\, microfilming and\, ultimately\, storage at the Moravian Archives in Bethlehem\, PA. Dating as far back as 1770\, these records are a vital chronicle of community life\, capturing subjects as diverse as language\, genealogy\, governance\, education and weather\, among many other things. With the support of a Council on Library and Information Resources Digitizing Hidden Collection Grant\, the Uncommon Bonds project is facilitating the digital return of these records to northern Labrador. In this presentation\, we will explore the history of this collection\, our approach to digital curation and how our work is shaped by new Inuit-directed approaches in documentary heritage. \nMark David Turner is a cultural historian and facilitator working at the intersection of media\, performing arts\, and archival practice in the Northwest Atlantic and Circumpolar North. He currently serves as the Manager of Audio-Visual Archives and Media Literacy for both the Nunatsiavut Government and the Labrador Inuit-run broadcaster\, OKâlaKatiget Society\, and is an adjunct professor at Memorial University of Newfoundland’s School of Music. \nUncommon Bonds Reading List \nHow to access the Labrador Mission Stations record group (PDF) URL:https://www.moravianchurcharchives.org/event/lecture-uncommon-bonds-and-the-digital-return-of-labrador-inuit-documentary-heritage/ LOCATION:Address\, 41 West Locust Street\, Bethlehem\, PA\, 18018\, United States CATEGORIES:Featured,Lectures GEO:40.6298561;-75.379958 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Address 41 West Locust Street Bethlehem PA 18018 United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=41 West Locust Street:geo:-75.379958,40.6298561 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20210406T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20210406T170000 DTSTAMP:20210302T200849Z CREATED:20210302T200849Z LAST-MODIFIED:20210302T200849Z UID:10000049-1617724800-1617728400@www.moravianchurcharchives.org SUMMARY:Presentation: Unveiling Haidt: The Discovery of an Unknown Moravian Painting DESCRIPTION:Online presentation via Zoom (please register by filling out the form below)\nby Dr. Paul Peucker\, Moravian Archives \nIn the fall of 2020 the Moravian Archives was able to acquire a painting by Moravian artist John Valentine Haidt.

Widespread violence\, settler expansion\, racial hatred\, internal tensions\, and political turmoil posed constant threats. Nevertheless\, they achieved a measure of success\, thanks largely to the leadership of Papunhank\, a Munsee prophet and Moravian convert\, whose radical pacifism and skillful diplomacy kept them alive and reasonably well. \nRichard Pointer is the author of Pacifist Prophet: Papunhank and the Quest for Peace in Early America (University of Nebraska Press\, 2020).
