Missionary Church Today<br />
Moravian Church in America<br />
(Northern Province, Southern<br />
Province)*<br />
In 1735 German Moravian missionaries <strong>of</strong> the<br />
pre-Reformation faith <strong>of</strong> Jan Hus came to<br />
Georgia, in 1740 to Pennsylvania, <strong>and</strong> in 1753 to<br />
North Carolina. They established the <strong>American</strong><br />
Moravian Church, which is broadly evangelical,<br />
ecumenical, liturgical, “conferential” in form <strong>of</strong><br />
government <strong>and</strong> has an episcopacy as a spiritual<br />
<strong>of</strong>fice. The Northern <strong>and</strong> Southern Provinces <strong>of</strong><br />
the church operate on a semi-autonomous basis.<br />
Headquarters<br />
Denominational <strong>of</strong>fices or headquarters are<br />
called the Provincial Elders’ Conference.<br />
