A file of correspondence and reports concerning religion in Czechoslovakia. The documents cover discussions on the current state of relations between Czechoslovakia and the Vatican; comments on a U.S. paper on church-state relations in Eastern Europe; and confusion over an "inspiring" message allegedly sent by the British prime minister, James Callaghan, to an All-Christian Peace Assembly in Prague. Other documents in the file cover a visit to Prague by the Bishop of London, Gerald Ellison, for talks with representatives of protestant churches and with František Tomášek, the Roman Catholic Archbishop of Prague; and arrangements for a visit to Czechoslovakia by the Archbishop of Canterbury's representative.
