Delegates from 65 Protestant churches, using the Czechoslovak language, met in Chicago on June 25 and 26. Presbyterians, Baptists, Methodists, Congregational and Reformed churches were represented. An organization was formed under the name “Czechoslovak Evangelical Union of America” which will devote its energies at the present time especially to the support of war orphans ;it will also favor all efforts for deeper religious life among the liberated people. It was announced that the Presbyterians were sending Joseph Křenek of Silver Lake, Minn., as fraternal delegate to the Evangelical Church of the Brethren, and that the Baptists were sending as their delegate Václav Králíček of Chicago. Václav Vaněk of Chicago was elected first president of Evangelical Union.
