G4 - 29 - Monthly report mentioned Reverend Fišer of Studnitz seemed to have favorable prospects. Bishop Tabach is a very national Czech who has not been politically active outside. During the month April were held at the order of the Central Council within the dioceses synods, in which above all the priestly training was the focus. At the synod that was held in Prerau (OLB Olmütz) it was pointed out that it was absolutely necessary to send theologians to study abroad. According to the demands of the time, the clergy should again deal with the "Old Testament", since this is the preparation for the priests for the later struggle, "It is never to be forgotten that God alone is the Creator and Leader of all of us". The Bohemian-evangelical Brethren Church appeared very little during the last two months after the outside. The supreme church authority, the synoderat, is currently essentially concerned with resisting the pressure of the older, mostly more German-friendly pastors, who are very concerned about the reduction of the age limit to 65, which the Synodal Council has recently decided. The amendment primarily affects those pastors who have been more Germanophile for years, unlike the somewhat younger pastors. Many of them spent their studies in Germany and in German-speaking Switzerland, especially in Basel. The younger clergy is completely oriented towards the de- mocratic West and is quite close to the Anglican high church. It is the aim of the supreme church authority to put aside, at all costs, the German-friendly pastors, who feel partly connected with German Protestantism, it is obviously completely irrelevant to her whether she is currently able to fulfil her task with the support of younger clergymen, the Synodal Council hopes that the request to transfer his former mission school in Olomouc to Prague will be approved, in order to create the possibility of a replacement study, which should secure the young, which has become very important due to the early retirement. The anti-German attitude of the church leadership is also evident from the fact that on 6.3.41 in the parish of Prague II, Klemens- gasse, a commemoration of the death of President Masaryk was held by the Synodalenior Křenek in the internal circle, in which mainly ladies from Prague agricultural circles took part, in her press she has for some time repeatedly brought articles in which it is attempted to prove that German protestantism had developed out of the teachings of Jan Hus and Luther had been a disciple of Hus's.
