Angličtina - HUS2015

Cohesion, Justice, Truth!

Also I beseech you, that you love one another, do not permit good to be oppressed by violence, and desire that every one learns the truth.

I have come to Constance... Pray therefore to God to grant me perseverance, because many enemies and powerful opponents are rising up against me... But I do not fear anything, neither am I worried. I am sustained by the hope that after this great battle will come a great victory, and after the victory a greater reward and greater dishonour for my persecutors. M.J.Hus: Letter from Constance

Some 30 participants gathered in Prague on April 17th 2013 to read texts of Master Jan Hus as a part of Students read Hus! project.

We are happy to make you more familiar with the evening by presenting here the transcription and record of the lecture of Prof Petr Čornej and of the discussion with the participants.

You can use these materials as study resources for your own gathering. The texts itself can be found in a section Students read Hus! in a category FIRST READING. The transcription can be found here (aktivní link).

The record was made with a pocket recorder. We beg your apologies for a lower quality of the record, especially the last part of the discussion.

The topics of the constituent students‘ meetings are inspired by the famous Hus quotation called the „Septalog“:

„Therefore, true Christian, search for Truth, hear the Truth, learn about Truth, love the Truth, speak the Truth, hold the Truth, defend the Truth up to your death, because the truth will save you from sin, devil, from death of soul and finally from the death eternal, which is the eternal separation from God’s mercy…“

Each meeting will be held under one of these Hus’s challenges

The Year 2013

1. Search for Truth!
2. Hear the Truth!
3. Learn about the Truth!

The year 2014

4. Love the Truth!
5. Speak the Truth!
6. Hold the Truth!

The Year 2015

7. Defend the Truth up to your death!

At each meeting we will read excerpts from selected texts of Master Jan Hus, which will celebrate its own particular anniversary during the years 2012 – 2015, 600 year from their writing.

The project Students read Hus is organized within the Hus Triennium, which was announced on July 6th 2013 by the Czechoslovak Hussite Church and will last through years 2012 – 2015, when it will finish also on July 6th 2015 at the occasion of 600th anniversary of the death in fire of Master Jan Hus.

The project aims on students of high schools and universities. It’s aim to present them the works of Master Jan Hus in seven thematic meetings – always headed by one statement of Hus’s “Septalog”. These meetings will be held in years 2013 and 2014 three times a year and once in 2015. The students will be lead by Czech or abroad specialists, husitologists, history teachers or Hussite priests and will read and interpret some of the works of Master Jan Hus.

Beside the fact, that the students will get to know more the works of this significant Czech thinker and Church reformer and will be able to imagine better the time he was living in and the ideas he struggled for, the student will have the chance to meet also students from other schools or faculties at these meetings. In addition, the project is organized by students and the participants can also organize their own meeting and reading at their own school or faculty.

The meetings with reading will take place in Prague and also other cities and towns of the Czech Republic. The project will be also presented abroad, so we would like to organize some readings together with students from other countries. The reading itself will take place predominantly at the schools or faculties, in Prague it should be the Bethlehem’s Chapel – a place closely tied to Jan Hus, who used to preach here during his activity at the Prague University.

We will read selected texts of Jan Hus’s work – his letters to friends and supporters, critical treatises on what the Church should be like, how its clergy should live a how the believers should live as well. It is very interesting, how actual Hus’s thoughts still are! We will have also specialists at hand during the reading, which know Hus very well and study his legacy for many years, so they will be free to explain what is needed.

The students will be provided with space to discuss the text further not only at the meetings, but also through Facebook or a web forum or blogg here at the www.hus2015.cz website. (The management of the website with study materials and discussion forum as well as the social network’s page is a competence of the organisational team.)

Of course, where students gather, there is also some fun, so after a good job it is needed to relax a bit. Each meeting will be connected with some other programme – concerts, exhibitions etc. As a part of the project we plan to offer also a smart phone app with the Hus texts database.

The anniversary of burning to death of Master Jan Hus is not commemorated in the Czech republic only and this event is not important for Churches only. The significance of Hus thoughts widely exceeds the frame of our country, thus the Czechoslovak Hussite Church, which organizes the Hus triennium, cooperates with a number of Church and also non-Church bodies in the Czech Republic and abroad.

This cooperation takes place both in the form of common projects and mutual support of own activities and programmes. The Memoranda of Cooperation, which the Czechoslovak Hussite Church signs with its partners, summarizes the form of mutual celebration of the 600th anniversary of M. Jan Hus‘ death.
