Czechoslovak Hussite Church. The title adopted in 1971 by the Czechoslovak Church, whose origins go back to an association of RC priests, called ‘Jednota’, formed in 1890. They sought the introduction of the Czech language into the liturgy, the abolition of compulsory clerical celibacy, and participation of the laity in the government of the Church. In 1919, when Czechoslovakia became an independent State, these demands were submitted to Rome. On their rejection, Jednota formed an independent religious body in 1920. It was constituted on Presbyterian lines.
