I have heard that the Moravian church also maintains the historic episcopate and affirms Apostolic Succession as one of their doctrines.
Does anyone else know anything about this?

I've read that the recent 2009 General Convention of the Episcopal Church has approved some sort of trial communal agreement due to this circumstance.
Perhaps it may be best to ask in the Lutheran forum, as I believe (though I may be incorrect) that the Moravians were welcomed there early on.

Gracious Father, we pray for thy holy Catholic Church. Fill it with all truth, in all truth with all peace. Where it is corrupt, purify it; where it is in error, direct it; where in any thing it is amiss, reform it. Where it is right, strengthen it; where it is in want, provide for it; where it is divided, reunite it; for the sake of Jesus Christ thy Son our Savior. Amen.
