Abstract
"There has been little study of the history of Croatian Baptists, let alone of theological education amongst them. 2 The Croatian Baptist Union (CBU) was established in 1991 after it became clear that the former state of Yugoslavia, and therefore also the former Yugoslavian Baptist Union, had irrevocably dissolved. The Croatian Baptists elected new leaders and adopted a new constitution. The CBU then had about thirty churches with about 1,000 members. By summer 1999 there were over forty churches and membership had doubled.3 In the aftermath of the break-up of Yugoslavia and during the resulting war Baptists, with other Evangelicals and Protestants, became involved in humanitarian aid. The volume of Baptist aid has been disproportionate to their size. This has earned them an attentive ear from the government, the Roman Catholic (RC) Church in Croatia and the media."
