People in this Association have one feature in common. They have sincere ties with the PTF. The character and goals of our Association are dependent on this fact. The Association is governed by an elected committee which meets regularly each month to solve current problems.

In addition, they participate in the preparation of the annual meeting of the members of the AF PTF. This corresponds with the main goal of the Association, which is the building and maintaining of close ties among former students, as well as a mutual exchange of experience and information.

In this way the Association wishes to strengthen relationships with other faculties and congregations in the Czech Republic and abroad.

The members of the Association are also informed about its activities by means of an informational bulletin and also through the web pages of the Association.

History of the Association

(What we have accomplished)

The main idea of the Association, namely meeting with people, is as old as humanity itself. Of course AF PTF has been in existence as an organization only since November 1999.

As early as autumn 1998, a group of former students of the PTF met and together spent a pleasant and interesting weekend. They renewed old friendship, met new students and exchange their experience. In addition, they talked about a wish of Mrs. Adelheid Reininghaus who was the head of the Office for International Relations of the PTF from its beginning in 1993-1994 to her recent death in January 1998. Her wish was to establish “The Association of Friends of the PTF ”.

Thanks to those who were part of that “ working group “ her wish has become a reality. This preliminary group worked hard for one year and in addition to planning the first meeting, also drew up suggestions for the statues of the Association. These statues were presented to the approximately 50 students in attendance at the first meeting of AF PTF in November 1999 and were accepted after a long discussion. And that was how the AF PTF officially came in to existence November 6, 1999. In the ensuing election former student Daniel Neval from Switzerland became its first president.


In 2005 Daniel Neval died only 35 years old and vice-president Jan Satke was elected as the new president of the Associaton. Since 2007 is  Blahoslav Hajek the president of the Association. in 2012 Peter More became the next president.
