Czechoslovak Hussite Church

Common card · No. 282017

The Czechoslovak Hussite Church (Czech: Církev československá husitská, CČSH or CČH; Slovak: Cirkev československá husitská) is a Christian church that separated from the Roman Catholic Church after World War I in Czechoslovakia. Both the Czechoslovak Hussite Church and Moravian Church trace their tradition back to the Hussite reformers and acknowledge Jan Hus (John Huss) as their predecessor. It was well-supported by Czechoslovakia's first president, Tomáš Garrigue Masaryk, who himself belonged to the Evangelical Church of Czech Brethren. The Czechoslovak Hussite Church describes itself as neo-Hussite. It is the third largest church in the Czech Republic, after the Catholic Church and the Evangelical Church of Czech Brethren.
