World-heritage status for Northern Irish Moravian church
THE Gracehill Moravian Church settlement in Co. Antrim, founded in 1759, has become the UK’s newest UNESCO World Heritage Site at the 46th session of the World Heritage Committee. It was nominated as part of a transnational effort led by the United States to achieve World Heritage Status for Moravian Church settlements founded in the 18th century, alongside other sites in Herrnhut, Germany, and Bethlehem, in Pennsylvania. A congregation continues Moravian traditions at the site.
