Description
Summary:The Protestant churches in the Second Republic were much conditioned and often hindered by the variety of national compositions and orientations, as well as by the surviving ordinances left over from the previous period of Polish political divisions. Protestant unity was precluded by these differences and even competitiveness between the various denominations. The Catholic Church stressed its Polish character on the basis of the formula: a Pole is a Catholic. But too often the Protestants were assumed to be Germans, even when they were in fact Poles. The second half of this article examines the distinctive features of the individual churches in the Protestant spectrum.
