History of Polish Lutheran Parish in Gdynia (1931-1939). Part 2

Summary/Abstract: After the cancellation of the previous minister as a result of disagree-ments with parishioners (see Part 1), in February 1937 Gdynia got the next pastor, Rev. Jerzy Kahané. Polish protestants established close contacts with the Swedish Lutheran community, and soon moved from the classroom to the chapel in the Swedish Sailors' Home (the Svenska Sjömenskyrkan of the SKUT – The Church of Sweden Abroad), where the chaplain was Rev. Daniel Cederberg. Parish life revived, and were founded the Ladies Circle and a youth association. Celebrations were held on the occasion of state cer¬emonies, attended by representatives of the local authorities. In No¬vember 1938, were approved plans to build a church. At the same time, the Society of Polish Evangelicals in the Free City of Danzig was founded, for which in the English Church pastor Kahané celebrated the first service.
