Descrizione
Riepilogo:In den 1730s, when the Moravian Church spread into the wider world, the first brethren from Herrnhut reached Kashubia, a border region on the Baltic coast of Farther Pomerania not far from Danzig (now Gdansk), between the Kingdom of Prussia and Poland-Lithuania. This article deals with the first Moravian visits to the inhabitants of this region, their practices and strategies for expanding the Moravian Church, and the beginnings of the Moravian diaspora. Especial attention is paid to the relationship between the diaspora's 'labourers' and members and the local nobility and protestant clergy. The article seeks an explanation as to how such a numerous Moravian diaspora could be formed in a relatively small territory, which was supported intensively by aristocratic women above all. The significance for this of the Moravians' mobility and the networks of family members, diaspora members and friends that they built up becomes clear. Analysis of sources that have hitherto been used neither in German nor in Polish research offers insights into the background to the spread of Moravian teaching about the Saviour both among the Slovinzen (an ethnic group) and also the simple people of the countryside, the peasants and craftsmen, for whose history in the 18th century there are only a few sources.
