Introductory note This essay originally appeared in The Himalayan Mission, a booklet commemorating the centenary of the Moravian Church in Leh in 1985. The booklet is now very hard to find, even in Leh, but I judge that it retains some value as a concise introduction to the history of the Moravians in the Himalayan region. I am very therefore pleased to have the opportunity to make this version available via the Internet. My own engagement with this history started in the late 1970s. I spent a year teaching at the Moravian Institute in Rajpur from 1978 to 1979 and in 1980 moved to Leh where I helped restart the Moravian Mission School. While I was in Leh, I had the opportunity to read the Leh church library’s holdings of the old mission magazine, Missionsblatt der Brüdergemeine, which described Ladakh as it had been a century earlier. I wrote some initial notes on the church’s history while I was still in Ladakh. After moving to London in 1983, I continued my researches at the Moravian Church House Archives and Library as well as the archives of the British and Foreign Bible Society (and afterwards, too late for this essay, at the Archiv der Brüder-Unität in Herrnhut). Rev Stephen Hishey, who served as the Moravian pastor in Leh during the 1980s, encouraged me to write up my findings for the church’s centenary. The history of the Moravians in the Himalayan region has remained a lifelong interest, and both I and others have contributed a number of publications on related topics since 1985. Rather than review them here, I have included them in an extended updated bibliography of older and newer works at the end of the essay. In the course of my researches for this essay, I incurred a number of debts of gratitude and it is a pleasure to acknowledge them now. These start with Rev Thsespal Kundan, a fellow student in Cambridge who introduced me to the Moravians and ultimately to Ladakh. In Rajpur, I benefitted from the hospitality of the Kundan family for a year, and first got to know Stephen Hishey. I would not have spent my year in Leh without the initiative of Nathaniel Batapa in pressing for the revival of the Mission School. I look back with great fondness to the kindness of the older Ladahi Moravians who have now passed away, especially Sungzin Phuntsog, Eliezer Joldan, Daniel and Benjamin Dana and Rev Standzin Razu. In a conversation in Leh bazaar, Nawang Tsering Shakspo impressed on me the importance of bibliographic citations. Rev P.D. Sham Rao published an earlier version of the essay in Krisht Vidya, the journal of the Christian Retreat and Study Centre in Rajpur In London, I am grateful for the support of the staff of Moravian Church House, particularly Rev Fred Linyard and Janet Halton, the then archivist, as well as Kathleen Cann at the Bible Society archives. Finally, two points of detail: there are some gaps in the page numbering. I did not scan the pages containing photographs because the printing quality was very poor. The photograph on the front page is of Rev A.W. Heyde and his wife Maria together with their congregation in Kyelang, Lahul, in 1896. It comes from the Moravian Church House Archive and Library in London.
