- Description
- In the middle of the Great Awakening, a group of religious radicals called Moravians went to North America from Germany to pursue missionary goals.This group allowed women to preach, practiced alternative forms of marriage, sex, and family life, and believed Jesus could be female. The author describes how the Protestant establishment did react on these views and on the Moravians' missionary successes.
