This photo album is a special one for many reasons but I would like to focus on one aspect of what made this day unique. These photos were taken at the main Czech Baptist Church here in Brno. The name of the church is “Bratrska Jednota Baptistu of Brno.” The reason this day was so special is because it was an affirmation of the Czech national brothers and sisters to accept the Roma brothers and sisters into their church and lives. If you understand the history of the Roma in Eastern Europe, you will know this is no small thing. Praise God above for changing attitudes, cultures, and hearts… amen. Below are several photos from the service. The panorama shot at the top was taken from my vantage point in the balcony area.
