Count Nicolaus Ludwig von Zinzendorf

Moravian Education in Neuwied

In each Moravian community there was stress laid upon education which was co-educational. Pictured here in Neuwied are the children leaving the school on the right and entering the meeting hall on the left. (The painting was done about 1845.) As to education, this was Zinzendorf’s feeling: “There are two principles which guided our education. First, all are equal: men and women, adults and children, Europeans and natives in the various mission fields. Though each group has special needs, they all have an equal right to education....Second, the primary concern of education was to help persons encounter God and the life God brings them, and to experience and learn how to live in relationship with God. Once one was in contact with God, then God could guide persons in their actions and needs” (The Moravian, November 2000).
