Magazine Spreading God's word in a land of atheists
Brother Laurence Cada is an American of Czech descent, whom the Marianist religious order sent to the Czech Republic in the role of missionary. In many ways it was a voyage of discovery to the land of his ancestors and five years after his arrival in the Czech capital Brother Cada appears to have settled down happily enough. He has a busy work schedule, many Czech friends and has established close links with dignitaries of the Catholic Church. But - from a professional angle Laurence Cada could not have been given a harder task. He was sent to spread God's word in one of the most agnostic and secular societies in Europe, if not the world. I recently spoke with him about his experiences, his impressions and his work.
