Moravian Settlement in America

The Moravian Settlement in America refers to communities established by Moravian Christians originating from what is now the Czech Republic, beginning in the early 18th century. They sought religious freedom and communal living, founding towns like Bethlehem in Pennsylvania. Known for their emphasis on education, music, and social welfare, Moravians created settlements that fostered spiritual life and economic stability. These communities combined faith with craftsmanship and education, influencing local culture and development while remaining distinct for their harmonious social structure and commitment to missions and service.
