Note 97 — Chapter XVIII · HANS EGEDE AND DANISH GREENLAND

Count Zinzendorf was the founder of the congregation from Moravia, formed to promote the conversion of the heathen. He built a station on one of his estates in 1728, which was called Herrnhut. From hence missionaries went forth—chiefly to the West Indies, Greenland, and Labrador—known as Moravian missionaries. “Herrnhut” means “the Lord’s keeping.”
