Church Schools and Religious Instruction in the Czech and Slovak Republics
Church Schools and Religious Instruction in the Czech and Slovak Republics

Summary/Abstract: This paper gives a clear view of the historical development of church schools, faculties of theology, and religious education in the territory of the present Czech Republic and the Slovak Republic. The comparison of developments in both countries makes it possible to see far more clearly not only the present situation, but also the historical tradition in these three areas, where there have been alternate periods of divergent development and the same development in these lands. This makes it possible to see not only the present in a brighter light, but also the tendency of future development, especially reflected strongly in the relationship between religious teaching in schools and catechesis.
