The Hinge
Volume 8, Number 3: Summer 2001 The Hinge is a forum for discussion in the Moravian Church. Views and opinions expressed in articles published in The Hinge are those of the individual authors and do not necessarily reflect the views of the editorial board or the official positions of the Moravian Church.
According to the Bethlehem Diary, September 1742, “the office of the Hinge requires that the brother who holds it look after everything and bring troublesome factors within the congregation into mutual accord without their first having to be taken up publicly in the congregation council. He is the mainspring of the life of the congregation� (Kenneth Hamilton, Bethlehem Diary, vol. 1, p. 80). This idea from the Moravian past has been chosen to represent the character of this journal. The Hinge is intended to be a mainspring in the life of the contemporary Moravian Church, causing us to move, think, and grow. It is especially sensitive to troublesome factors that may be an obstacle to our mutual accord. Above all, it is to be an instrument for opening doors in our church. The artwork of the Hinge was designed by Todd Tyson of Kernersville, N.C.
