A New Revolution in the Czech Republic
There are few things the people of the Czech Republic are as proud of as their Velvet Revolution. Through solidarity and determination the Czech people evicted the Communists and the Soviet Union in 1989 without a single bullet fired. While the history of the Czech people, known from 1918 until 1993 as Czechoslovakia, goes back thousands of years and places them at the absolute epicenter of much of European history, it was their bloodless embrace of freedom that most defines them in the modern era. Since the opening of the Czech Republic to resident missionaries in the early 1990s, several transformational TEAM projects have taken root in this decidedly post-Christian culture.
Located at the geographic center of the continent of Europe, the Czech Republic has been an important crossroads in European history since the time of Christ. Some of the oldest castles, encampments and trade routes in the entire continent can be found on Czech soil. The seat of the Holy Roman Empire for centuries, and the birthplace of Jan Huss, an important forerunner of Luther and the Reformation, Czech, also known as Bohemia throughout history, is a critically important link in the history and present-day chemistry of Europe. Its capitol, Prague, remains one of the oldest and most beautiful cities in the world, with numerous cathedrals and monasteries that survive architecturally because this is one of the few cities in Europe that sustained little bombing during World War 2. But while stones and iron still hold these ancient houses of worship together, decades of Soviet domination and centuries of religious politicization have left this thriving, modern city beneath a cloud of spiritual darkness.
