Chapter VII — Conclusion
Chapter VII - Conclusion brings a contemplative end to the Moravians’ journey in Georgia, tracing their persistence through turbulent decades.

Finding the terrain and political climate inhospitable, Hagen opted to remain in Savannah, where his health and the impracticality of reaching the native population influenced his decision. Instead, he turned to…-

Chapter IV — Reinforcements

By 1740, after careful reflection on earlier experiences, the Church leaders determined that Pennsylvania, rather than Georgia, would provide a more promising environment for their next missionary company. This decision arose from both practical and spiritual considerations, as Pennsylvania’s religious tolerance, growing German population, and fertile social conditions better aligned with…-
