The little known Moravians who were very influential both before and after the Protestant Refor-?mation are a source of inspiration to today’s Evangelical Movement. The Moravians are not an ethnic people group who live in one particular location, on the contrary it is a name given to an ?Evangelical group who first gathered on the lands of Count Zinzendorf and then scattered throughout the world. The roots of this movement go back to John Huss who was inspired by the English reformer Wycliffe. His followers later formed the Unitas Fratrum (United Brotherhood) in Bohemia. Although they were successful in Moravia and Bohemia for some time, they were later pressured and persecuted by the Roman Catholic Church. Sometime later the Moravian Brotherhood was rejuvenated when they were given asylum by Count Zinzendorf. They sought to live holy lives based solely on the teachings of the Bible. Particularly through the missionaries they sent out to many places in a very short time the community established in Herrnhut influenced many Protestant groups. Despite their small numbers today, they were the starting point of the Evan-?gelical Movement which has deeply influenced Christianity.
