2025 Synod of the Moravian Church in Nicaragua

In late January 2025, BWM Executive Director Justin Rabbach and Unity Board Administrator Rev. Jørgen Bøytler attended the Synod of the Moravian Church in Nicaragua. This gathering marked the culmination of several years of hard work by a commission focused on bringing reconciliation to the church after a period of division.

The Synod took a huge step forward in the reconciliation process as it elected a single unified board to bring the previously divided groups together. Rev. Alfredo Joiner was elected as President and Rev. Fredimil Muller Urbina as Vice-President, and their commitment to reconciliation will be important as the church looks to the future.

The new Provincial Board shared this message following the Synod: “On behalf of the Moravians of Nicaragua, we trust that the Lord Jesus Christ, the elder of our Church, will always be our guide and that his grace will accompany us in this new historical stage, as well as the accompaniment of all our brothers and sisters who always support us, share their blessings and prayers.”

This moment marks a new chapter for the Moravian Church in Nicaragua, built on reconciliation and shared hope.
