Biographical History

On the initiative of Norbert Fabian Čapek, the Free Brotherhood organization was founded in 1922 which was transformed, in 1923, into the Society of Free Brotherhood under the Act on Associations. Its goal was to support all religious, educational, social and promotional efforts to organize human relations on the basis of freedom and brotherhood. The Unitarians were eventually recognized by the Czechoslovak state and registered in 1930 as the Religious Society of Czechoslovak Unitarians. During the Nazi occupation the Society was dissolved in 1943, but in 1945 it was restored again.
