Join Professor Scott Paul Gordon for a presentation on Moravians and the American Revolution. The American Revolution put Pennsylvania’s Moravians in a tough place. They wanted to remain neutral, but Patriots demanded that they choose a side and threatened to seize all their property if they didn’t. When military forces—troops on the move, prisoners, injured soldiers—occupied Bethlehem (“engulfed” the small community, Bethlehem's leader John Ettwein said), Moravians had no choice but to transform the way they lived. These communities did survive these dangerous times, but the Revolution transformed Bethlehem permanently.

Scott Paul Gordon is a professor of English and the Andrew W. Mellon Chair at Lehigh University. He has published extensively on Moravian activity in eighteenth-century Pennsylvania, most notably The Letters of Mary Penry: A Single Moravian Woman in Early America (Penn State University Press, 2018). He is currently completing a book about slavery in early Bethlehem.
