The Hussite Theological Faculty (Czech: Husitská teologická fakulta) is one of three theological faculties of Charles University in Prague. The Faculty was founded with the Czechoslovak Hussite Church which was established at the beginning of 1920 from the Catholic Modernist movement. The Hussite Theological Faculty currently offers theological studies of three Christian convictions - Hussite Theology, Old Catholic Theology and Orthodox Theology.

History

Hus's Faculty was first situated in the sacristy of the Evangelical Church of the Savior in the Old Town of Prague, since 1920 in the former Archbishop's seminary in Clementinum and later at the seat of the Evangelical Church of Czech Brethren in Jungmannova Street [cs]. The first dean of the Faculty was Gustav Adolf Skalský (1857–1926).
