One of the early offices of the Moravian Church in Bethlehem, Pa. was that of the Hinge:
“The office of the Hinge requires that the brother who holds it look after everything and bring troublesome factors within the congregation into mutual accord without their first having to be taken up publicly in the congregation council.”
— September 1742, The Bethlehem Diary, vol.1, tr. Kenneth Hamilton, p80.

The Hinge journal is intended also to be a mainspring in the life of the contemporary Moravian Church, causing us to move, think, and grow. Above all, it is to open doors in our church.
