| Description | The study deals with the religiosity of members of the Roman-Catholic Church and the Evangelical Church of Czech Brethren in Rusava, the westernmost village in Wallachia, where most inhabitants professed to be Protestants in the past. Currently, most of the inhabitants are irreligious, and the local Catholics outnumber the Protestants. The research was based on a questionnaire survey and semi-structured interviews. The research shows that tradition is very important for the members of the two churches studied – they inherited their faith from their parents, they were brought up in it from an early age, and never converted. Overall, Rusava Catholics are more active than local Protestants. Relations between members of the two churches are positive, which is mainly attributable to some priests and annual ecumenical gatherings. |
