CHRISTIANITY IN THE PUBLIC SPHERE. THE APPROACH OF THE CZECHOSLOVAK (HUSSITE) CHURCH<\/strong>
\nIN THE YEARS 1920-1940<\/strong><\/p>\n

Abstract:<\/strong> From its inception, the Czechoslovak Hussite Church took an interest in public affairs in
\nEurope and the emerging ecumenical movement. It maintained close contacts with a union for
\nthe promotion of international friendship through churches. Its representatives, especially Prof.
\nFranti\u0161ek Kov\u00e1\u0159, future professor Franti\u0161ek M. Hn\u00edk, and Prof. A. Spisar, participated in a number of
\nconferences organized by this community. From the very beginning, it closely followed the Life and
\nWork movement, which after World War II became part of the World Council of Churches. Kov\u00e1\u0159,
\nHn\u00edk, and Spisar responded to the global economic crisis, the suppression of religious freedom in
\nthe Soviet Union, and the advance of German fascism. The issues of democracy, war and peace,
\nand a Christian solution to the crisis came increasingly to the fore. As a theologian and sociologist,
\nHn\u00edk devoted himself to the formation of a new economic order which encountered problems and
\nmisunderstanding in the churches. Contrary to pacifist tendencies, Hn\u00edk
\nbelieved that Christians
\nwere entitled to participate in a defensive war fought to preserve civil liberties, human dignity, and
\nthe legal order. In the spirit of T. G. Masaryk, he considered this to be humanitarian pacifism. The
\nstudies analyzed by the authors demonstrate their high level of expertise and, at the same time,
\ntestify to their firm roots in the Czechoslovak Church.
\nKeywords:<\/strong> Christianity and social change; secularization; world economic order; democracy; the
\nLife and Work movement; religious freedom in totalitarian regimes; respect for religious differences;
