The Moravians are members of the Moravian Church, a Protestant denomination that originated in the early 15th century in what is now the Czech Republic. They are known for their emphasis on community, education, and missionary work. The church was founded by followers of John Huss, a reformer who advocated for religious and social change. Moravians played a significant role in the early American colonies, particularly in Pennsylvania and North Carolina. They established communities that focused on communal living, music, and education. Today, the Moravian Church continues to promote values of peace, love, and service in various parts of the world.
