Getting Up from the Knees

Religious Services in Prague in the 1960s IV.

Abstract

The last part of academic edition of an exceptional source depicting (records from) observations of Prague Christian churches’ services in the mid-1960s, supplemented with a contextualizing introduction and historico-religious footnotes by the editor. The specificity of the material is that the original source takes the form of (commented) participatory observation, it is very open and at the same time it contains material from (almost) all existing churches and religious societies, respectively individual parishes, congregations and places of worship in the city of Prague. Due to its length the edition was divided into several parts; this fourth and last part contains the second part of Roman Catholic worships (churches P–Z), and the conclusion of the manuscript, essay on the nature of preaching.
