“For Moravians, pastoral care meant care for body and soul. Katherine Faull has uncovered an intriguing set of eighteenth-century documents instructing Moravian leaders how to tend to the physical and spiritual needs of their sheep. These detailed instructions offer rare insight into the positive evaluation of each person’s individual needs based on their gender, age, and development.”

—Paul Peucker, author of A Time of Sifting: Mystical Marriage and the Crisis of Moravian Piety in the Eighteenth Century
