The Center for Moravian Studies

The Center for Moravian Studies promotes the study of the history,
theology, and mission of the Moravian Church (Unitas Fratrum) by
serving as a nexus for Moravian scholarship that links scholars,
research institutions, and resources. Attention is given to the entire
historical tradition of the Moravian Church as well as to issues
relating to contemporary concerns of the Moravians in North America
and worldwide. The CMS pursues these goals by

• working in collaboration with Reeves Library, Moravian archives, and Moravian historical societies and museums in the United States
• maintaining a website that provides a variety of resources on
  Moravian scholarship for researchers and the public
• sponsoring the annual Moses Lectures in Moravian theology
• publishing The Hinge: International Theological Dialog for the Moravian Church
• assisting those doing research on the Moravian Church

The Center
  • sponsors a series of seminars and lectures,
  • provides assistance to scholars working on Moravian topics,
  • plans a program of publishing key sources for the study of
   the Moravian Church,
  • and cooperates with other institutions on special projects.

The Center for Moravian Studies underwrites the printing and distribution of The Hinge: International Theological Dialog for the Moravian Church.

The Center for Moravian Studies has established formal relationships with the Moravian Historical Society; the Moravian Archives in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, and Winston-Salem, North Carolina; the Moravian Unity Archives in Herrnhut, Germany; the Moravian Music Foundation; the Music Department of Moravian College; the Reeves Library of Moravian College and Moravian Theological Seminary; the Provincial Elders Conferences of the Moravian Church in America; and the Moravian Unity Board.

Many of the programs of the Center for Moravian Studies are supported by a grant from the Arthur Vining Davis Foundations, Inc.
