Moravian claim as first American mission denomenation
Moravian church authorities issued a statement asserting they were the first American religious group to send missionaries abroad, shifting honor from Congregationalists and from New England to Pennsylvania. Investigations by Rev. Romig and Dr. de Lchw...nitz led to Josef Mueller naming the early American missionaries: John Antes, David Beck, Nathaniel Braun, John Bruces, John Frederick Schlegel and Anna, his wife. Antes, born 1740 in Philadelphia, died in Bristol, England, after missionary work in Egypt from 1769 to 1782.
