This is Wikipedia's community-edited article on Henry Melchior Muhlenberg, sent by the Halle Pietists to organise colonial Pennsylvania's scattered German Lutheran congregations. Its value is accessibility and continuous updating by many contributors, useful for standard, checkable facts about his September 1742 landing at Charleston, his arrival at Philadelphia that November, and the Pennsylvania Ministerium he helped found on 26 August 1748, the first centralised Lutheran governing body in North America.
