The Exotic Plant: A History of the Moravian Church in Britain, 1742-2000

The first complete history of the British province of Moravian Church, originating in the life and work of Graf Zinzendorf in 18th century Germany. This well-written and thoroughly researched book shows how the Moravian church was successful at first, yet later failed to grow as a result of Anglicization and pressure from indigenous denominations. Yet, this is also the story of a small church's survival and its contribution to the rich variety of British Nonconformity.Stout, Geoffrey is the author of 'The Exotic Plant: A History of the Moravian Church in Britain, 1742-2000' with ISBN 9780716205739 and ISBN 0716205734.
