Summary/Abstract: Unity of Brethren (Latin Unitas Fratrum) belongs to the Protestant Church and its origin dates back to 1457, when it was founded by Brother Gregory in Kunvald (in present-day Eastern Bohemia). It was a quantitatively small, but elite church, among its most important representatives were, for example, Petr Chelčický or Václav Budovec from Budov. Among other important members was John Amos Comenius (1592–1670), who was also the last bishop of the Unity of Brethren. The teaching of the Unity of Brethren is based on three elementary postulators, namely, the ideal of faith, love and hope.
