As if conscious of the coming storm, theBrethren met together at Zerawic for the last UnitedSynod of the Ancient Church, and there drew up whatproved to be an Epitaph for future ages to read. Theyput together, and published, what is known1616. as the " Order of Discipline " : it was a fullaccount of the institutions of the Church ; andremains to this day the best picture of the life of theAncient Brethren.Meantime sudden destruction came upon the Church. Ferdinand II. became King of Bohemia. When he took the oath at his coronation to keep the Charter, all knew that the proceeding was a farce. " We shall now see," said a lady at the ceremony, " whether the Protestants are to rule the Catholics or the Catholics the Protestants." She was right. Ferdinand II. was half a Jesuit. It is said that he swore in the Sacristy of Prague Cathedral not to grant anything to the Protestants in the least against the wishes of the Roman Catholics. He would rather, he said, beg his bread from door to door, with his family clinging affectionately round him, than allow a heretic in his dominions. With such a man as king, the Jesuits rubbed their hands with glee and redoubled their efforts against the Brethren. In every Roman Catholic Church in Bohemia the priests preached sermons against the Protestants; the Jesuits held them up before the peopleas the vilest scum of the earth. The King's government, led by two men, Mart... ... Read more

Product Description
The Moravian Church became widely known and respected for its 'missions to the heathen', achieving a high reputation among the pious and with government. This study looks at its connections with evangelical networks, and its indirect role in the great debate on the slave trade, as well as the operations of Moravian missionaries in the field. The Moravians' decision, in 1764, to expand and publicise their foreign missions (largely to the British colonies) coincided with the development of relations between their British leaders and evangelicals from various denominations, among whom were those who went on to found, in the last decade of the century, the major societies which were the cornerstone of the modern missionary movement. These men were profoundly influenced by the Moravian Church's apparent progress, unique among Protestants, in making 'real' Christians among the heathen overseas, and this led to the adoption of Moravian missionary methods by the new societies. Dr Mason draws on a wide range of primary documents to demonstrate the influences of the Moravian Church on the missionary awakening in England and its contribution to the movement. ... Read more

Product Description
The Moravians, or Bohemian Brethren, early Protestants who settled in Pennsylvania and North Carolina in the eighteenth century, brought a musical repertoire that included hymns, sacred vocal works accompanied by chamber orchestra, and instrumental music by the best-known European composers of the day. Moravian composers -- mostly pastors and teachers trained in the styles and genres of the Haydn-Mozart era -- crafted thousands of compositions for worship, and copied and collected thousands of instrumental works for recreation and instruction. The book's chapters examine sacred and secular works, both for instruments -- including piano solo -- and for voices. The Music of the Moravian Church demonstrates the varied roles that music played in one of America's most distinctive ethno-cultural populations, and presents many distinctive pieces that performers and audiences continue to find rewarding. Contributors: Alice M. Caldwell, C. Daniel Crews, Lou Carol Fix, Pauline M. Fox, Albert H. Frank, Nola Reed Knouse, Laurence Libin, Paul M. Peucker, and Jewel A. Smith. Nola Reed Knouse, director of the Moravian Music Foundation since 1994, is active as a flutist, composer, and arranger. She is the editor of The Collected Wind Music of David Moritz Michael. ...
