Jan Schwarz (27 September 1958 – 10 November 2023) was a Czech theologian, a spiritual leader, journalist and writer.
His rule was marked by serious rambling between rival factions some refusing his patriarchy and threatening the division of the church.
In 2005, he appeared in front of the church's Episcopal Central Council where he tended his resignation from the patriarchy.
He also announced his decision to join the Religious Society of Czech Unitarians [cs].
On 23 September 2006, Tomáš Butta was elected, in the first round of voting with absolute majority as eighth Patriarch of the Church.
