Moravians in Conversation is a group made up of sisters and brothers from across the Unity that meets four times a year to discuss topics of shared interest. The group is organised by Br Niels Gaertner from Herrnhuter Missionschilfe, the Moravian Mission Society in Germany. It is open to anyone who is interested.
I recently attended the planning meeting for 2025. The dates and topics will be:
- Wednesday 29th January at 2pm – Fear
- Wednesday 21st May at 2pm – The Nicene Creed (which is 1,700 years old in 2025)
- Wednesday 24th September at 2pm – Creation
- Wednesday 19th November at 2pm – The Kingdom of God
I will share the full details including Zoom links with all the ministers and church secretaries a few weeks before each meeting.
This group has been going for a few years now and is a fantastic opportunity to get to know and learn from sisters and brothers from around the world. I hope that you can join us.
