Abstract
The article focuses on Josef Smolík's activities in the field of ecumenism. In addition to the connection between the teaching of ecumenism and practical theology at the Protestant Theological Faculty, attention is given to his activities both in the world ecumenical work (World Council of Churches) and in Czech ecumenical work in the context of strained relations with the communist regime.
Smolík's emphasis was on the practical orientation of ecumenical activities.
