The situation of the Evangelical Church in the Czech Republic
Interview with Jordan Haller to Missions in Europe Channel, in May 2016.
I'm Glauber Destro, a journalist and missionary in Europe. I’ll be sharing the latest stats regarding the Evangelical Church in Europe. I’ll interview missionaries around this continent, and I'll try to explain the main aspects you need to know to serve in these countries. I hope you can get to know, pray and follow this cause.

Churches in Czech Republic
What a beautiful country. We explored castles and cathedrals and ate some amazing Trdlos. We walked through the main streets of Prague and enjoyed an awesome puppet show. Definitely will never forget it.

Brentwood School Big Band Tour
Summer of 2015, 36 musicians accompanied by Mrs Khoo, Mr Cooper, Mr Stock and Miss Crane, embarked on a Big Band tour to the Czech Republic. We were privileged to perform in a variety of exciting venues – the Spa Colonnade in Marianske Lazne, the Ostrov Piarist Monastery Church, the Chateau of Breznice and the Open air stage of Zlute Lazne. The Band played with their usual verve to enthusiastic audiences, demonstrating their musical ability to adapt to the challenges of each acoustic.
The students were able to perform a wide ranging programme including our new Big Band repertoire showcasing swing, funk, latin and ballads from the greatest Big Band legends of the last 80 years.
In addition, our string players added real depth to the sound as they accompanied our vocal numbers which featured some of our most talented singers.
Our Boy’s Barbershop, Girls Choir and Chamber Choir sang to great acclaim a variety of choral music ranging from Bruckner to Harold Arlen.
Our concert at Ostrov was particularly memorable as we found ourselves being filmed by the local television network. Our musicians rose to the occasion, enjoying the wonderful acoustics of the Monastery Church and of course the opportunity to appear on TV! The audience were visibly moved by the beauty of our choral selection and we were thrilled to be given a standing ovation at the end.
It was an unforgettable experience for everyone involved, to play to such musically appreciative audiences who were clearly impressed by the depth and breadth of musical talent, as well as with the professionalism and maturity with which the children conducted themselves. Mrs Khoo, Director of Music at Brentwood School was constantly asked where we were from and if we were a specialist music school!
We finished the week feeling immense pride not only in the commitment and talent of our musicians but also having hugely enjoyed spending the week in the company of such fine young adults who are a credit to Brentwood School.

Ustroń, Poland by motorhome
Ustroń is a health resort town in Cieszyn Silesia in southern Poland in the Silesian Beskids mountain range which is sufficiently low to be a manageable walk from the town centre for most of us. For example the Silesian Beskids, Równica and Czantoria mountains can be reached if you are staying somewhere near the town centre but if you cannot be bothered to walk there is the chair lift up the Czantoria.
There is no dedicated camp site in the town but there is a parking space which accepts motorhomes for either PLN10 or PLN20 (it is not clear and the price no doubt depends on the size of the vehicle). There are no facilities such as water or electricity available there. For those needing such facilities there is a campsite located around 3km outside of the town - one can take a cycleway along the Vistula river to get into Ustron.
The town can not only offer health but also excellent hiking and cycling. The mountains are not too high although one can go up the Czantoria for example by cable car. Cyclists can follow the path alongside the Vistula to nearby Wisła and enjoy the attractions of that town.
The settlement was first mentioned in a Latin document around 1305 as Ustrona. It belonged initially to the Duchy of Teschen, formed in 1290, the duchy became a fee of Kingdom of Bohemia, which after 1526, became part of the Habsburg Monarchy.
In 1772, the Klemens Steel Works was opened and the village was gradually industrialised. On the site of the former steel works, there is now a museum which shows the technology that built this part of Silesia in the nineteenth century. When the steel work was closed in 1897 the market town switched to be more orientated towards a health and spa resort. This growth accelerated in the 1960s when pyramid-shaped hotels were built in the town. Today it is a very population for people coming to take 'a cure' - a very central European way of looking after one's health.
Other attractions include a dinosaur park and weekend displays of birds of prey. During the summer there are concerts in the amfitheatre in the park as well as in the main square (where I was able also to watch the Poland v Portugal game in Euro 2016).
Unlike most of Poland,a large part of the population is Protestant. For those linguistically inclined, many people speak a version of Cieszyn Vlach which is perfectly understandable to Polish speakers yet does have some endings more similar to those in Czech or Russian.

SUMMARY
=======
The Czech Republic ( ( listen); Czech: Česká republika [ˈtʃɛskaː ˈrɛpublɪka] ( listen)), also known by its short-form name, Czechia ( ( listen); Czech: Česko [ˈtʃɛsko] ( listen)), is a landlocked country in Central Europe bordered by Germany to the west, Austria to the south, Slovakia to the east and Poland to the northeast. The Czech Republic covers an area of 78,866 square kilometres (30,450 sq mi) with a mostly temperate continental climate and oceanic climate. It is a unitary parliamentary republic, with 10.6 million inhabitants; its capital and largest city is Prague, with 1.3 million residents. Other major cities are Brno, Ostrava and Pilsen. The Czech Republic is a member of the European Union (EU), NATO, the OECD, the United Nations, the OSCE, and the Council of Europe.
It is a developed country with an advanced, high income export-oriented social market economy based in services, manufacturing and innovation. The UNDP ranks the country 14th in inequality-adjusted human development. The Czech Republic is a welfare state with a continental European social model, a universal health care system, tuition-free university education an is ranked 14th in the Human Capital Index. It ranks as the 6th safest or most peaceful country and is one of the most non-religious countries in the world, while achieving strong performance in democratic governance.
The Czech Republic includes the historical territories of Bohemia, Moravia, and Czech Silesia. The Czech state was formed in the late 9th century as the Duchy of Bohemia under the Great Moravian Empire. After the fall of the Empire in 907, the centre of power transferred from Moravia to Bohemia under the Přemyslid dynasty. In 1002, the duchy was formally recognized as part of the Holy Roman Empire, becoming the Kingdom of Bohemia in 1198 and reaching its greatest territorial extent in the 14th century. Besides Bohemia itself, the king of Bohemia ruled the lands of the Bohemian Crown, he had a vote in the election of the Holy Roman Emperor, and Prague was the imperial seat in periods between the 14th and 17th century. In the Hussite Wars of the 15th century driven by the Protestant Bohemian Reformation, the kingdom faced economic embargoes and defeated five consecutive crusades proclaimed by the leaders of the Catholic Church.
Following the Battle of Mohács in 1526, the whole Crown of Bohemia was gradually integrated into the Habsburg Monarchy alongside the Archduchy of Austria and the Kingdom of Hungary. The Protestant Bohemian Revolt (1618–20) against the Catholic Habsburgs led to the Thirty Years' War. After the Battle of the White Mountain, the Habsburgs consolidated their rule, eradicated Protestantism and reimposed Catholicism, and also adopted a policy of gradual Germanization. This contributed to the anti-Habsburg sentiment. A long history of resentment of the Catholic Church followed and still continues. With the dissolution of the Holy Roman Empire in 1806, the Bohemian Kingdom became part of the Austrian Empire and the Czech language experienced a revival as a consequence of widespread romantic nationalism. In the 19th century, the Czech lands became the industrial powerhouse of the monarchy and were subsequently the core of the Republic of Czechoslovakia, which was formed in 1918 following the collapse of the Austro-Hungarian Empire after World War I.
Czechoslovakia remained the only democracy in this part of Europe in the interwar period. However, the Czech part of Czechoslovakia was occupied by Germany in World War II, while the Slovak region became the Slovak Republic; Czechoslovakia was liberated in 1945 by the armies of the Soviet Union and the United States. The Czech country lost the majority of its German-speaking inhabitants after they were expelled following the war. The Communist Party of Czechoslovakia won the 1946 elections and after the 1948 coup d'état, Czechoslovakia became a one-party communist state under Soviet influence. In 19 ...

SUMMARY
=======
Austria-Hungary, often referred to as the Austro-Hungarian Empire or the Dual Monarchy in English-language sources, was a constitutional union of the Austrian Empire (the Kingdoms and Lands Represented in the Imperial Council, or Cisleithania) and the Kingdom of Hungary (Lands of the Crown of Saint Stephen or Transleithania) that existed from 1867 to 1918, when it self-dissolved at the end of World War I. The union was a result of the Austro-Hungarian Compromise of 1867 and came into existence on 30 March 1867. Austria-Hungary consisted of two monarchies (Austria and Hungary), and one autonomous region: the Kingdom of Croatia-Slavonia under the Hungarian crown, which negotiated the Croatian–Hungarian Settlement (Nagodba) in 1868. It was ruled by the House of Habsburg, and constituted the last phase in the constitutional evolution of the Habsburg Monarchy. Following the 1867 reforms, the Austrian and the Hungarian states were co-equal. Foreign affairs and the military came under joint oversight, but all other governmental faculties were divided between respective states.
Austria-Hungary was a multinational state and one of the Europe's major powers at the time. Austria-Hungary was geographically the second-largest country in Europe after the Russian Empire, at 621,538 km2 (239,977 sq mi), and the third-most populous (after Russia and the German Empire). The E ...

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
Austria-Hungary, often referred to as the Austro-Hungarian Empire or the Dual Monarchy, was a constitutional monarchy in Central and Eastern Europe between 1867 and 1918. It was formed when the Austrian Empire adopted a new constitution; as a result Austria (Cisleithania) and Hungary (Transleithania) were placed on equal footing. It dissolved into several new states at the end of the First World War.
The union was established by the Austro-Hungarian Compromise of 1867 on 30 March 1867 in the aftermath of the Austro-Prussian War. It consisted of two monarchies (Austria and Hungary), and one autonomous region: the Kingdom of Croatia-Slavonia under the Hungarian crown, which negotiated the Croatian–Hungarian Settlement in 1868. It was ruled by the House of Habsburg, and constituted the last phase in the constitutional evolution of the Habsburg Monarchy. Following the 1867 reforms, the Austrian and Hungarian states were co-equal in power. Foreign and military affairs came under joint oversight, but all other governmental faculties were divided between respective states.
