Reposting again - I am new here and forgot I have to HTML code for paragraphs.

My statement was a re-wording of the statement the Moravians themselves make - I linked to that statement.

It is how the Moravians view their origins from their own website - posted once again:

http://www.moravian.org/history/

The name Moravian identifies the fact that this historic church had its origin in ancient Bohemia and Moravia in what is the present-day Czech Republic. In the mid-ninth century these countries converted to Christianity chiefly through the influence of two Greek Orthodox missionaries, Cyril and Methodius. They translated the Bible into the common language and introduced a national church ritual. In the centuries that followed, Bohemia and Moravia gradually fell under the ecclesiastical jurisdiction of Rome, but some of the Czech people protested.

The ever changing story:

In post 51, you wrote: “This is laid the groundwork for the resentment that long simmered against the Latin church.”

So you started off with

1) posting an unsubstantiated claim
2) then called it a plausible scenario when you could find no evidence at all for it
3) then denied you posted the claim in the first place and claimed it belonged to the sect in question
4) then said it is a “supposition based on the fact”
5) now it “was a re-wording of the statement the Moravians themselves make”

Gibbs would be soooooo proud. Like I said, by next month it will be an “old wives tale”.
