Extract

There are problems with this topic. Zinzendorf himself would certainly have considered it a non-subject, as he would certainly have regarded the counsel of his contemporary Wesley to ‘gain all you can, save all you can, and give all you can’ as unspeakably bourgeois, an adjective I have no recollection of Wesley’s applying to himself. The severer kind of economic historian might also regard what I have to say as a non-treatment of a non-subject, for I cannot present you with a profit-and-loss account of Zinzendorf’s transactions; I know no more about his income than he did, which was not very much; and although I shall refer later to the successive valuations of Zinzendorf’s property which that remarkable scholar Otto Uttendürfer dredged up from the Herrnhut archives sixty years ago, I attach no great importance to them. They seem to me the same kind of artificial enterprise as the annual revaluations for borrowing purposes which were made of the empty Centre Point building in its earlier years. Moreover, the straightforward introduction to the theme which I enjoyed not long ago is not readily available to historians in the West. It is to work first in the archive of Francke’s Orphan House at Halle, and then move on to that of the Renewed Church of the United Brethren at Herrnhut. Francke’s Orphan House, one of the biggest buildings of eighteenth-century Europe, has the Thatcherite principle of cost-effectiveness written all over it, and is clearly based on the Prussian barracks. The whole community at Herrnhut combines baroque lavishness with simplicity in a way not easily put into words, but most movingly experienced in the Grosse Saal in which the Brethren now hold their services. A visit to the Moravian settlement at Zeyst in the Netherlands, however, may sufficiently illustrate the point.

1 This theme is most fully worked out in Wesley’s Sermon no 50 on Luke 16.9, ‘Make to yourselves friends of the mammon of unrighteousness’, but he was sufficiently confident of it to return to it on several occasions, for example, The letters of John Wesley, ed. J. Telford (London, 1931) 5.8:6.207. Compare also Sermon no 116 §8.

30 Zinzendorf s defenders followed suit: ‘Entrepreneurs of all classes with large and extensive views, misunderstanding the Count, took him at first for a man whom they could use to accomplish their own chimerical projects; but when he spoke against them or showed in practice that he wanted nothing to do with them, took offence, and threatened controversy or attacked him without warning’.

42 Johann Deknatel (1698–1759), a leading Mennonite minister in Amsterdam, who brought about an evangelical revival among a religious community tending to unitarianism, and strove actively for a union among the scattered Baptists of Hungary. He was listed as one of the Amsterdam Brethren in 1744 (A. Reincke, Members of the Moravian church and of persons attached to the said church … between 1727 and 1754 (Bethlehem, Pa., 1873), p. 45), but his financial assistance ended in his instituting lawsuits against them. His portrait is preserved in the archive at Herrnhut.

57 Wesley, Journal 2.47–9. Arvid Gradin (1704–54) was born at Wiks, Sweden, the son of a clergyman. He came under Pietist influence in 1724, and made contact with Dippelianism in the ’thirties. He was won to Moravianism by reading a book and by a personal visit. In 1740 he was despatched to Constantinople to negotiate with the Greek Church through personal interviews with the Patriarch. The negotiations were fruitless but he served as a chaplain to the Swedish embassy. In 1741 he was sent on an evangelistic mission in Sweden and Norway which finally obtained the approval of the Archbishop of Stockholm. He was imprisoned in Russia on a diplomatic mission to the Holy Synod in 1743. He wrote a short history of the Unitas Fratrum which was translated into English in 1743 and sold by James Hutton [Svenska Män och Kvinner, 3.80). For Gradin’s theological views see G. Hök, Zinzendorf’s Begrijff der Religion, Uppsala Universitets Arsskrift, 6 (1948), pp. 147–52. He is said to have declined the offer of a chair at Uppsala soon after arriving at Herrnhut.
