Summary/Abstract: During and immediately after the Great War, several hundred students from Serbia were educated at theological colleges in Great Britain, which greatly assisted later development of the new-founded Kingdom of Serbs, Croats, and Slovenians. It also helped improving relations between the Anglicans and the Orthodox, especially between the two world wars. Considering the work of the Christian Student Movement, this education of several hundred of theological and other students in England, and later development of YMCA, we may comment that the relations between religious communities in Yugoslavia were of cooperation and mutual respect, especially between the two world wars.
