What do you do if the government offers you a lot of money to make up for a
past wrong? If you're Baptists in the Czech Republic, you turn down the generous
offer.

The Czech Baptist Union has definitively decided not to accept any financial
compensation from the state under the law on return of property to churches, its
chairman Milan Kern told CTK today. He said the union suffered negligible direct
property wrongs under the communists and it wants to return to the historical
practice of self-funding. The Baptists came to the territory of the current
Czech Republic 120 years ago and they have some 2500 active members. According
to the law, the union was to get a 227 million crown compensation. Kern said the
system of state subsidies was forced on them under the communists and it is
entirely unique in the world. He said the church counts with that the state
subsidies paid out to them will be gradually lowered like to the other 16
churches over the next 17 years under the law even though they will not sign the
contract with the government. Kern said the money that will not be paid to the
union will remain to the state. "Naturally, we count with this. We do not even
make full use of the law-embedded possibility [of state funding] now. About one
third of our organisations are self-funded out of their own decision," Kern said.
The Baptists are financed mainly from gifts and they collect money during Sunday
divine services. ($1=10.344 crowns).

Unter den betroffenen Religionsgemeinschaften unterzeichnete nur die
Baptistengemeinde die Vereinbarung nicht, da sie, wie aus einem Statement
hervorgeht, sich lieber durch Mitgliedsbeiträge finanziere. Laut der
Vereinbarung hätte die Baptistengemeinde Anspruch auf circa 228 Millionen Koruna
(11,8 Millionen USD), so Milan Kern, der den 2.500 Mitgliedern der Baptist Union
in Tschechien vorsteht.

Los Bautistas no aceptarán compensaciones financieras del Estado Checo
La Iglesia Bautista checa no aceptará las compensaciones financieras de parte
del Estado Checo por los bienes que le fueron confiscados durante el comunismo.
Los Bautistas dieron a conocer su decisión frente a las retribuciones
financieras este viernes. Según la normativa sobre las restituciones a las
Iglesias, los Bautistas podrían haber recibido unos nueve millones de euros. La
Iglesia Bautista checa, que cuenta con unos 3.000 seguidores y que en el futuro
quiere autofinanciarse, opina que las restituciones incitan en los ciudadanos un
rechazo de la religión en general.
