Talk:God's Acre

2009 comments
I'm not sure the phrase "God's Acre" is exclusively Moravian - I've heard it used plenty of times in the UK!

No, not at all. It is an ancient Teutonic name for a graveyard, so I expect it is used more often in England than in the USA, where its use is almost if not entirely exclusive to the Moravians. We describe the meaning as "a field where the bodies of the dead are sown as seed to await the Resurrection of the Dead", which is the meaning of Gottes Acker, God's Field, in German. .70.243.156.56 (talk) 19:19, 13 February 2009 (UTC)Pastor R.

"God's acre" means a churchyard and is so defined in the Oxford English Dictionary and so used in English literature and usage, though not current in everyday speech. This article erroneously presents this as a specifically Moravian usage. If this article is to be taken seriously it needs to be completely revised, placing the basic meaning of the term in the place of honour. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Brian Boru IV (talk • contribs) 19:48, 7 January 2013 (UTC)

This article reads like an 'advert' rather than a Wikipedia entry and needs urgent review. There are currently many cultural references to "God's Acre" from rock music to conservation groups and this article doesn't seem to grasp those connections in popular culture and/or common English usage. Read "God's Acre blog " for references to Christianity and burials — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.251.119.57 (talk) 21:22, 12 May 2014 (UTC)
