58. [57.] Remaining Moravians were gathered into groups, and after visitation were cast down toward the lower regions and forced to enter a cavern; but finding no food there, and mean quarters, they complained loudly, and were let out and banished into desert areas. This was observed by Zinzendorf.* * * Count Nikolaus Ludwig Graf von Zinzendorf, 1700-1760, a German reformer and organizer of the Moravian Church. Zinzendorf proclaimed a "religion of the heart," based on an intimate fellowship with the Savior, whose Person, conceived as Creator, Sustainer and Redeemer of the world, completely dominated his theology. Though forced by circumstances to separate from the Lutheran Church, he continued to maintain a close connection with it. Widely traveled, he founded Moravian communities in the Baltic provinces, Holland, England, the West Indies, and North America.
