The Morovian missionaries (a Pietist German-speaking group from Central Europe active in East Tennessee and Northwest Georgia in the 18th century and early 19th century)

I'll buy a vowel :-) you must be referring to the Moravians. Another effect of their ministry was upon John Wesley, in a number of ways enumerated here.

You are correct! You get the correct vowel and a handful of butterscotch discs!

Thanks also for the link. Fascinating history.

Thanks! Great post! How little Methodists know about John Wesley and the founding principles of the Methodist church. Today they would call him an intolerant hater and a homophobe. Let's face it, if Jesus came back He would be crucified in short order.
