Czech Republic
The Religious Society of Czech Unitarians has its immediate origins in the
work of Dr Norbert F Capek, who went to Prague in 1921 with the assistance of
the American Unitarian Association. His work met with much success and there
were between three and four thousand members at the time of the German
invasion.
Unitaria, a Unitarian complex containing meeting rooms, offices, and
accommodation was built with the help of both the British and American Unitarians.
In 1942 Dr Capek was arrested for listening to the BBC and sent to Dachau,
where he died. Subsequent work was carried on by Dr K Haspl and Dr Dusan Kafka.
After more than six years of being exiled by a faction of dissidents,
Czech Unitarians, the rightful owners of number 8 Karlova in Prague,
have regained the Headquarters of the Czech Unitarian Association and are
back in their spiritual home. There are congregations in Prague, Brno and
Plzen. The Prague congregation holds Sunday services twice a month and there
are regular Tuesday meetings as well as many other activities.
