While Hus had wide support among the population of Bohemia and Moravia, he stepped on many powerful toes.\u00a0 Excommunicated by the Pope, he preached and wrote in exile for a period -- and then was called before the Council of Constance.\u00a0 Accused of heresy, Hus refused to recant his teachings and was condemned as an arch-heretic.\u00a0 He was burned at the stake on July 6, 1415.<\/p>\n<p>But while the powers could silence the man, they could not silence the movement, and conflict rapidly escalated into Pope Martin V declaring a full-fledged Crusade against the Hussites.\u00a0 The period of the Hussite Wars actually represented five separate Crusades over fifteen years.\u00a0 The Pope and the Emperor seriously underestimated the backbone of the Hussites, however, and the powerful armies of the Holy Roman Empire were largely defeated by an army of peasants and commoners.\u00a0 They were led by Jan Zizka, a military genius whose strategies are still studied today.\u00a0 The battles were the first to see extensive use of gunpowder, cannons, and primitive rifles.\u00a0 Zizka designed \"war wagons\" which could transport the equipment and troops and then be converted into a mini-palisade.\u00a0 The traditional strategies of the Crusaders were overwhelmed by Zizka's innovations and the sheer dedication and bravery of the Hussites, represented by two groups: the Utraquists and the more radical and militant Taborites.<\/p>\n<p>But war is hard on everyone, even the victors.\u00a0 The war had left much devastation, nearly every family had lost members. One spiritual leader, Petr Chel\u010dick\u00fd, began to preach that Christians should be non-violent.\u00a0 A group of Hussites who followed these teachings, and focused on strictly following the Sermon on the Mount, received permission to move out of Prague and establish an intentional faith community in the village of Kunwald, where they officially organized the <i lang=\"cs\">Jednota bratrsk\u00e1<\/i> - the <em>Unitas Fratrum<\/em> or \"Unity of Brethren.\"<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"pg-27-4\"  class=\"panel-grid panel-no-style\" ><div id=\"pgc-27-4-0\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell\" ><div id=\"panel-27-4-0-0\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-slider panel-first-child panel-last-child\" data-index=\"5\" ><div\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tclass=\"so-widget-sow-slider so-widget-sow-slider-default-a32bbddc6b3d-27\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t>\t\t\t\t<div class=\"sow-slider-base\" style=\"display: none\" tabindex=\"0\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<ul\n\t\t\t\t\tclass=\"sow-slider-images\"\n\t\t\t\t\tdata-settings=\"{&quot;pagination&quot;:true,&quot;speed&quot;:800,&quot;timeout&quot;:3000,&quot;paused&quot;:false,&quot;pause_on_hover&quot;:false,&quot;swipe&quot;:true,&quot;nav_always_show_desktop&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;nav_always_show_mobile&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;breakpoint&quot;:&quot;780px&quot;,&quot;unmute&quot;:false,&quot;anchor&quot;:null}\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tdata-anchor-id=\"\"\n\t\t\t\t>\t\t<li class=\"sow-slider-image\" style=\"visibility: visible;\" >\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"sow-slider-image-container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"sow-slider-image-wrapper\" style=\"max-width: 1000px\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"sow-slider-image-foreground-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"750\" src=\"https:\/\/johnhus.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/JJ-directing02-1000-copy.jpg\" class=\"sow-slider-foreground-image\" alt=\"\" style=\"height: 460px;
