Summary/Abstract: Polish neo-evangelical churches manifest stronger feeling of individuality than the historical churches and nurture the conviction that they are the only biblical churches. This way of thinking generates anti-ecumenical attitude against historical churches which in neo-evangelical assessment are not biblical in a strict sense of the term. In the interwar period ecumenical cooperation of the churches in question was limited to the family of neo-evangelical congregations. After World War II, this cooperation was extended to Protestant churches. After the Second Vatican Council some limited forms of cooperation with the Catholic Church came into practice.
