Who is John Hus?   

John Hus was a Roman Catholic priest who taught at the University of Prague and preached in the Bethlehem chapel in Prague, Czech Republic in the late 14th and early 15th century.    His reforms and challenges to church doctrine drew the attention of the head of the Church and after refusing to recant his beliefs, Hus was burned at the stake as a heretic. 

When John Hus died on July 6, 1415, he refused to recant his beliefs that forgiveness should not

be sold through indulgences, that the Bible should be read and preached in the common language

and other church reforms. His followers continued to study and practice as Hus taught, and in

1457 declared themselves a distinct church, the Unitas Fratrum (Unity of the Brethren) – later known as the Moravian Church, since they were from the Moravia region of the Czech Republic.  Today we gratefully remember the reforms and sacrifices of our church’s inspiration, John Hus, with the celebration of Holy Communion.
