In 1743 the Colonia Belén completed the Gemeinhaus, a network construction used for worship and shared meals, and soon erected a network of other constructions for the choirs or teams that made up the network, adding the space of the unmarried sisters and the space of the unmarried brothers.

“The first school to teach women with the same curriculum as men was founded here in Bethlehem in 1742, less than a year after the network was founded,” Donchez Mowers said.

According to Larimer, six Moravian congregations are active in the Bethlehem area, where they are known for their emphasis on community, education, and service.

“The Moravian creed or motto is, ‘In unity, in non-liberty and in love in all things,'” he said. —Religious News Service
