Moravian Church Settlements – Bethlehem: Our Newest World Heritage Site - World Heritage Webinar

On July 26th, 2024, the USA gained its 26th World Heritage Site as the historic Moravian Church Settlement of Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, along with settlements in Herrnhut, Germany and Gracehill, Northern Ireland (UK), joined Christiansfeld, Denmark (inscribed in 2015) as a single World Heritage Site: the Moravian Church Settlements. Not only do these four sites feature distinct architecture styles, exemplifying how Moravian ideals blended and adapted to local conditions, but they also represent the international scope of the Moravian community where active traditions continue to this day. Bethlehem, Pennsylvania is the only Moravian settlement in the World Heritage inscription that is located in the Americas. As such, the site features unique qualities that differ from its European counterparts. During this World Heritage Webinar, we were joined by Jonathan Putnam, Acting Chief of the National Park Service Office of International Affairs; Curtis H. “Hank” Barnette, Vice Chair of the Bethlehem World Heritage Commission; Charlene Donchez Mowers, Senior Advisor and Historian for the Bethlehem World Heritage Council and Commission; and Stephanie Smith Augello, World Heritage Coordinator, to learn about the history of Bethlehem, Pennsylvania and the Moravian Church Settlements, the World Heritage Site inscription process, and some of the challenges associated with coordinating a multi-national nomination.
