Cold warrior fights for religious freedom in Cold War Europe
The Rev. Blahoslav Hruby, a Czech-born American priest and editor, coordinates church-led efforts against Communist religious repression from New York. He relays word of the firing of Moscow priest Gleb Yakunin, after a Russian Orthodox letter to the World Council of Churches spurred its first formal critique of Eastern Bloc religious limits. Hruby, OSS veteran, continues to publish smuggled documents and link churches, embassies, and universities in defense of faith.
