The ''Daily Watchwords'' or ''Losungen'' is an annual, globally distributed publication of the Moravian Church. It was started on 3 May 1728, and is now published in 50 languages, making it the oldest and most widely read daily devotional work in the world. Old Testament texts, the "Watchwords", are chosen by lot annually in Herrnhut from a collection of 1200 verses. New Testament texts, the "Doctrinal Texts", are then selected to comment on the Watchwords. Total annual circulation is over 1.5 million copies. This is an ecumenical ministry of the worldwide Moravian Unity that transcends confessional, political and racial barriers of all kinds. The (Moravian Daily Texts ) service of the Moravian Church in North America makes available by email each day's Watchwords. ==References== Renkewitz, Heintz, ''Alle Morgen Neu'', Herrnhut, Bad Boll, 1972 〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Daily Watchwords」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
