For the Moravian Church in Genadendal to review
This page is waiting for the Moravian Church in Genadendal to check it. It is published now so that they can see how it fits with the rest of the site. Until they have approved the text, it may change. Questions for them:
- Is this description of the congregation correct? What would you like to change?
- When are services held, and is there anything visitors to the church should know?
- How does the congregation plan to mark the 300th anniversary in 2038, and may this page say so?
- Should readers reach you through the moderators, or would you like a public contact listed?
Because this page touches the mission settlement or its land, the Genadendal Transformasie Komitee will also be asked to check it.
The Moravian Church in Genadendal is the congregation of the first Moravian mission in South Africa, which Georg Schmidt started in 1738 [IC]. It belongs to the Overberg district of the Moravian Church in South Africa [MS]. Its church stands on Church Square (die Werf), and is still used for worship [MS]. The church houses the oldest pipe organ in South Africa [MS].
The mission buildings, including the church square and its bell tower, form the Genadendal Mission Complex, a Provincial Heritage Site [IC]. In 2038 Genadendal will mark 300 years since the mission was founded [IC].
