- 30 - A few weeks ago the Synodal Enior Křenek was again encapsulated in audience by President Hácha. In church circles it is said that Hách very much welcomed the national attitude of the Czech-Evangdian Brethren's Church and, despite all the difficulties, let the Church participate in its support as far as possible. "The Czech Orthodox Circle in Königgrätz, mentioned in the January report, is the Czech-Right-Democratic Church, which was also reported last year because of its strikingly increasing activity and its Panslavist goal, this Church, that has been the jurisdiction of the Serbian eparchy since 1931 until today. Under the authority of the Orthodox Archbishop of Belgrade, a founding meeting was held at the end of February 1941 in Königgrätz, which was, however, only slightly attended. On this occasion, the Orthodox priest Cykl from Prague spoke about the "Historical connections of Czechism to the Orthodox Church". He strongly opposed the Church of Rome and claimed that the Orthodox Church, as a religious confession of the Slavic peoples, was closer to the Czechs than the Roman Catholic Church. The Königgrätzer Kirchengemeinde, which belongs to the Diözsanrat of Prague, now received the old Czech museum chapel in the Königglätzer Jirasek Park, which was used earlier by the Orthodox Church, when it was still working closely with the Bohemian Moravian Church, more by the competent administrative authorities in order to hold its services. With the beginning of better weather conditions, the Salvation Army has again taken up its activities in the open air. Their officials and preachers have by no means been influenced in their previously observed chauvinist and anti-German activities by the German-speaking ban on collection and the ban on the distribution of journals. A group of sects in Prague even allowed a meeting to be held on 20.4.41 near the Old Town Square just before the celebration of the Führer's birthday began. At the end of his speech, the speaker stressed that there is only one leader for the Czechs and that this is Christ: "Only the firm belief in this leader keeps us up and will give us the strength to overcome even the most difficult."
