WORLD • HERITAGE • SITE
The Moravian communities of Bethlehem (USA), Gracehill (UK), and Herrnhut (Germany) are presently working together to join with Christiansfeld (Denmark) in becoming a multinational UNESCO World Heritage Site. These three words give us the theme for our 2023 conference, which includes individual papers, presentation sessions, and recitals addressing aspects of the relationships between Moravians and the World (natural, religious, socio-economic, political, etc.), Moravian Heritage, and Moravian Sites (Sights or Cites). Each of these perspectives will offer a unique way of thinking about Moravians and their interactions with others.
