Panel presentation by Dr. Katherine Faull, Dr. Paul Peucker, and Joshua Follweiler

Moravians had a strong sense of place. 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 religion was shaped by and, in turn, shaped the places they lived.
