The article presents beginnings and development of Protestantism in Wielkopolska (Greater Poland province) till 1570.It is composed of the fol-lowing parts: 1. Beginnings of the Reformation in Wielkopolska; 2. Czech Brethren in Wielkopolska; 3. Lutheranism in Wielkopolska; 4. Calvinists and Arians (Unitarians) in Wielkopolska; 5. Unification of Reformation Denominations. Sandomierz Agreement 1570.Specific feature of the Refor-mation movement was its multi-national character.60 Lutheran parishes of Polish and German speaking communities emerged here.In addition, 64 parishes of Czech Brethren were established under initiative of Czech immigrants, but majority of faithful members were Polish nationals.Calvinist parishes were only three in number while those of Arians (Polish Brethren) formally four, not counting the real existence of a parish in Śmigiel.Despite differences among these various confessions Protestant Churches in Wielkopolska, in fear of the Counter-Reformation, actively joined to unify their confessions.In 1555 Koźminek was the scene of the union between Małopolska (Lesser Poland provice) Calvinists and Czech Brethren in Wielkopolska.Then in 1570 Lutherans, Calvinists and Czech Brethren, excluding Arians (antitrinitarians) concluded a union on a fede-ration base, referred to as “Sandomierz Agreement” with the purpose to mutual recognition of confessions and cooperation.That was an early example of ecumenism among various fractions of Protestantism in Europe.

The study concentrates on the confessional character of the Early Modern Age memory books (so called "štambuchy", alba amicorum) which is closely linked to the fact that they originated in the Protestant environment of Wittenberg where the first memory entries were created in an effort to preserve a memory of the leading representatives of the Reformation and to show mutual friendship and solidarity within the given community. However, this narrowly confessional character of the memory books disappeared relatively quickly, because the memory books soon became popular and expanded beyond purely student or rather university environment as well as beyond Protestant environment and they started to fulfill integrating function across the society, among members of different confessions. However, the possible use of this source with respect to exploring confessional specifics has various limits the most prominent ones being the unknown or unclear confessional orientation of both the owners of the memory books and of the individual contributors, especially with respect to potential conversions (and their dating which was not always clear) or to not completely clear confessional opinion of followers of certain directions. A certain role is also played by the fact that the not very extensive entries have only limited reporting value; moreover, the entries oftentimes have a religious character, yet they are confessionally neutral and some of them are even of completely non-religious nature. This holds true also for albums owned directly by members of the Unity of Brethren.

Dla Lutra praca była powołaniem, Kalwin zaś przez pracę podkreślał potrzebę uwielbienia Boga. Od czasu propozycji Webera i Troeltscha teologię pracy i pochodzenie kapitalizmu omawiano i badano w różnych denominacjach protestanckich, takich jak luteranie, kalwiniści, purytanie i metodyści. U niniejszych wybranych kilku ostatnich teologów protestanckich doceniamy ciągłość i ewolucję w teologii pracy, które prowadzą nas do dziedzictwa zielonoświątkowego w naszych czasach. Niektóre perspektywy powracają do koncepcji contemptus mundi, którą odrzucił Luter, jednak odkrycie działania Ducha Świętego w codziennej pracy wymaga zielonoświątkowej teologii pracy.

For Luther, work was a vocation, while Calvin emphasised the need to glorify God through work. Since the proposal of Weber and Troeltsch, the theology of work and the origin of capitalism has been discussed and studied in different Protestant denominations such as Lutherans, Calvinists, Puritans and Methodists. In this selection of some recent Protestant theologians, we appreciate continuity and evolution in the theology of work that lead us to the Pentecostal inheritance in our days. Some perspectives go back to the contemptus mundi that Luther refused, but the discovering of the action of the Holy Spirit in the daily work needs a Pentecostal theology of the work.
