| Summary: | Among the war-born national states of Europe none has attained a more favorable economic status, stable government, and cultural development than the republic of Czechoslovakia. In the story of its truly remarkable progress, not a mean place is occupied by the religious movements. Czechoslovakia has witnessed not only the rebirth of an ancient, indigenous church, highly honored in the general history of the Christian church for its mighty influences, but also the birth of a new Catholic church, which aspires to become the national church of the new republic. The former is the Evangelical Church of Czech Brethren, a revival of the Unity of Brethren ("Unitas Fratrum") so famous in Bohemian history; the latter, the Czechoslovak church, traces its genesis to a revolt against the Roman Catholic church, and embodies the modernist as well as nationalistic principles of the reformist Catholic clergy. |
