Publication at Hussite Theological Faculty |

Abstract

Young people wish seldom to become Church’s members. Usually they set following arguments against church membership: Past failures of the church, her withdrawnness from the new things and public issues, her insisting on the tradition, hierarchical structure and disillusion by some Christian fellows, even by ministers sometimes.

These and some other phenomena are related to the address of young people by the church today. Bonhoeffer’s Theology from prison gives certain impetus that can be very inspiring for the presence.

They are: 1.An importance of the unfeigned human relationship that could be the ground for vivid Christian fellowship; 2.The place where the church can address people and 3.individual way, how to address them. The address the young by the church is connected not only with new interpretation of religious concepts and truths, but also with the church approach young people.

That is why the article dessert on the relations and acting one for another.
