16th Annual Czech & Slovak Freedom Lecture
Alexander Solzhenitsyn once answered the question of what would follow communism: a very, very long period of healing. Monsignor Professor Tomas Halik, former adviser to Vaclav Havel and Pope John Paul II, reflects on the transition from communism to democracy and the important role of churches and faith-based communities in the process. Could the experiences of Central and Eastern Europe be useful for "creating a biosphere of democracy" in other parts of the world?
