Three songs by Bishop Comenius, considered father of modern education. His Czech church was founded by two Greek brothers Cyril and Methodius, who created the Cyrillic alphabet used in Russia. The Czech Unitas Fratrum (Unity of Brethern) was highly popular until suppressed, as was the native Irish church, due to their orthodox insistence pastors should marry. Luther broke with Rome over the same issue. In America, Moravians continue to misrepresent their origins as "German," due to the first Moravian exile community Herrnhut being located in Saxony after Czechs lost religious freedom in the 1600s. German language was adopted from political necessity as in Prague under Hapsburgs, despite a long legacy of German attempts to suppress the orthodox Czech church. A best-selling author, Comenius wisely advocated European unity, tolerance and spontaneous order. Moravians built successful, musical cooperative communities around the world in the 1700s. Marx failed to understand the benefits of peaceful cooperation and left a legacy of error and violence. Comenius was right, Marx was wrong. Thanks to Kolbeinn of Rekjavik for his research.
Hi, I am a Christian from Moravia and I am impressed that you did this video and research. I belong to a Pentacostal church and we pray for a revival here as it was at the time of Komensky, David and other Moravian brothers. Are you a christian? Have you been to Czech? God bless you.
