The churches and theology in Czechoslovakia are aware of their responsibility in the realm of ecumenical cooperation. By the word "ecumenical" I do not mean only the ecumenical organisations and institutions represented in the World Counil of Churches. I have in mind everything spiritual, theological and ecclesiastic, regardless of the church or country, in the present-day world. It is our duty to follow theological work and spiritual struggles in the protestant and Catholic churches closely. Catholicism manifest itself in activities of diverse forms, in the Western as well as eastern: Roman, Old-Catholic, Orthodox, and Oriental forms.
