Description
Memoir of Sarah Cennick, born on June 12, 1712, in Reading, UK. After spending her youth navigating the social tensions of London, she became a pivotal Moravian leader, serving as a Deaconess and traveling extensively to oversee congregations in Germany, Ireland, and England. Her long career as a Choir Helper and administrator was defined by a sophisticated mystical piety that remained steadfast even as she succumbed to a protracted respiratory illness. She passed away at Fulneck, England, on January 24, 1770, at the age of fifty-seven, having spent her final days in a state of serene spiritual anticipation.
