| Summary: | In post-war Belgium the Churches, faced with the challenge of reconstruction, had to heal deep wounds. The Catholic Church set itself to recapture its position in many spheres. The lay organizations and monastic orders were free again to further the aims of the Church. Allegiance to Rome remained a priority. More interested in maintaining her gains than tackling evangelism, the Church started nevertheless a liturgical renewal and tolerated new interest in bible study. The Protestant Churches, eager to learn about events abroad especially about mission-work in Congo, reestablished contacts with Germany and France and participated in international gatherings. Several denominations evangelized together. A new theological faculty strengthened intellectual emancipation. Extensive activities for Prisoners of War were set up by the World Alliance of Y.M.C.A.'s. Even with increased membership, the Orthodox Churches remained separated on jurisdictional grounds. |
