Abstract: The paper presents the situation of Churches in the Czech Republic and analyses the changes in the self-conception of the Czechoslovak Hussite Church in the context of a secularised society characterised by a high degree of religious indifference. The changes of this Church in the past century faithfully reflect the spiritual climate of the Czech religious scene. The aim of the paper is to show and concretise, using the example of three ecclesiologies of this Church (the ecclesiology of associations and their activities, the ecclesiology of fellowship, and the postmodern ecclesiology of the spiritual centre), how Christian communities can adapt to a religiously indifferent society, what obstacles they may face, and what one-sidedness they resort to.
