The Evangelical Church of Czech Brethren (ECCB) is the biggest Czech Protestant church and second biggest church in general. It was formed in 1918 in Czechoslovakia through the unification of the Protestant churches of the Lutheran and Reformed confessions. The ECCB has about 115,000 members in more than 260 local congregations, which are broken down into 14 seniorates (presbyteries) throughout the Czech Republic. The ECCB was established in 1918 by unification of all Lutheran and Reformed churches in Bohemia and Moravia intending to be an ensuer of the Unity of Brethren. The ECCB is a member of the World Council of Churches, the Conference of European Churches, the Lutheran World Federation and the World Communion of Reformed Churches. [wiki]
