Christian Peace Conference
The Christian Peace Conference (Czech: Křesťanská mírová konference) was an international organization based in Prague and founded in 1958 by Josef Hromádka, a pastor who had spent the war years in the United States, moving back to Czechoslovakia when the war ended and Heinrich Vogel, an evangelical theologian.[1] Hromádka was a member of the Bureau of the World Peace Council.[2] He was not a Marxist, but the Christian Peace Conference often endorsed positions taken by Eastern bloc governments.[3] It has been alleged to have received $210,000 from Soviet sources.[4]
