Ohio celebrates the 550th anniversary of the Moravian Church with great 
joy; and
  Whereas, this occasion is a time to look back at the origins of our 
great state with the founding of the first settlement in Ohio by 
missionary David Zeisberger amongst the Le Nape Indians in 1772; and
  Whereas, the Moravian Church continues as the oldest Protestant 
denomination in existence; and
  Whereas, the Moravian Church have demonstrated excellence in its 
calling as a church, and we are proud to have it in the great state of 
Ohio and our Nation; be it
  Resolved, That along with the residents of the 18th Congressional 
District, I commend the congregation for their unwavering commitment, 
recognizing that all great achievements come from great dedication. 
With great appreciation and respect, we recognize the tremendous impact 
this congregation has had in the community and in the lives of those 
people they have touched.
