Charles Fishel I'm trying to do some genealogy research on my WHITAKER and PATTERSON ancestors, and one of my cousins (Beverly Susan Booth) married a Gary FISHEL. They live in Winston-Salem and I'm having a hard time in finding out information on the FISHEL line. Then I ran across your website and saw your name as minister, so that's why I'm sending you this E-mail. You also have a nice website, not too busy, which is good. Might you know of other sources of information regarding the FISHEL lines? I've also been to God's Acre and it was a humbling experience. What a beautiful site! My wife's ancestor of VOLCK is buried there. . . just wish there was some way I could help in restoring the headstones to preserve them. Bob Carter Greensboro, NC Thanks very much! |

Much of our inspiration comes from Leviticus 6:13, which spoke so powerfully to Count Zinzendorf. We are privileged in NC & SC to have the Moravi n heritage within our borders. Do you know of any Moravian congregations in South Carolina which I could visit and enjoy the fellowship of the Moravians?

Are you a Moravian: No. Where did you learn about our webpage?: Moravian Homepage | Comments: My fourth great-grandfather Peter Binkley was an early settler in Bethania and is buried in your God's Acre. Like a previous visitor to your page, I would love to know if it is possible to receive a list of all those buried there. Even though my Binkleys ceased to be Moravian not long after their arrival in Tennessee in the late 18th century, I have tried to introduce my six children to their Moravian heritage. The Disciples of Christ congregation we used to attend had a Love Feas on Christmas Eve. We use the Moravian Star in our Christmas decorations and always have sugar cake for breakfast on Christmas Eve and Christmas morning. Alas, there are no Moravian congregations here in TN. |

I am anxious to visit your area. I believe that two of my distant grandfathers are buried in your cemetery. .They were Leonard Moser who died in 7-17-1782 and Peter Binkley who died 8-10-1793. Can you confirm this information? I am a Methodist who
s thrilled with my Graceham, Maryland Moravian roots. Dallas Vogler suggested I contact you.
God bless you.

It was very interesting to visit your page and
learn something about our Moravian brothers/sisters at Bethania.
Incidentally, "we" are among one of your World Mission projects.
- The Moravian Institute at Rajpur, India.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank the Bethania Moravian Church and the Global Concerns Committee for their contribution by helping the children at our Institute and thru the sale of our rugs.
All praise and glory to our Lord Jesus Christ!

I really enjoyed you page...I'm not a Moravian (I'm a Methodist ny profession) but I've had a lot of positive experiences with the Moravian Church. I'm impressed with the fact that there's a Liturgy for almost everything, the Lovefeast service, and the s
rvice of Holy Communion. I play alto sax with the Salem Band and play with the Oak Grove Church Band whenever I am able. Keep up the good work!
