Chráska, Jakub ; Valášek, Marek (advisor) ; Stříteská, Leona (referee)
The aim of the bachelor's thesis is to inform in detail about the phenomenon that is the nationwide choir of the Church of the Brethren Effatha. It describes the formation of the choir from singing retreats in Slovakia in the second half of the 1980's, its history and transformation into its present form, and also discusses the goals and visions of the choir. These include, among others, inspiring worship of God, promoting and fostering sacred music in the church, and working with children and youth. It also describes the spiritual aspect of the choir's work, through interviews with current or past singers of the choir. The thesis further explores in more detail the choir's main activities, its musical style and the personalities that have shaped it. In addition to church-wide journals, the important sources of information were mainly the testimonies of Tibor Máhrik and Roman Toušek and sources made available in the choir's archives.

Matoušková, Magdaléna ; Nespěšná Hamsíková, Magdaléna (advisor) ; Royt, Jan (referee)
In thesis I will focus on the church of the Brethren in Mladá Boleslav. Except the characterization of constructional and historical development of this structure, I will do the analysis of paintings in the interior of this building, where were mostly used ornamental motifs. However, primarily I will devote to the details of decoration of the eastern part of this building for which were used quotations from Scripture. I will compare painting decorations with contemporary prints, which were made by members of the Unity of Brethren. I will focus to some similarities of ornamental and typographic decoration. Further, I will briefly mention the architect of this building - Matteo Borgorelli and his other buidings. Marginally I will also devote to conditions, which the Unity of Brethren had in Mladá Boleslav in 16th century.
