Pastoral Care and Worship of Churches with the Focus on Roma People
Koucká, Dana ; Vik, Dalibor (advisor) ; Vogel, Jiří (referee)
v českém jazyce Ve své bakalářské práci se zaměřuji na pastorační a bohoslužebné aktivity církví v romské komunitě. Na začátku hovořím o romské historii, dále o pastoraci a sociální práci a nakonec rozebírám duchovní činnosti v rámci romské komunity, organizované jak českou, tak i romskou populací. V části praktické se pak zaměřuji na rozhovory s duchovními, jež se v této komunitě pohybují. Mezi romskou menšinou se již sama delší dobu pohybuji při různých kulturních a náboženských událostech. Je pro mě důležité, že se mohu ve své práci podělit i osobní zkušenosti. Cíle práce jsou v rámci rozhovorů s duchovními následující: 1) Zjistit, jaké prospěšné aktivity pořádá církev pro romskou komunitu 2) Zjistit, jak funguje spolupráce s Romy na církevních aktivitách 3) Objasnit specifika romské spirituality

Old Catholic Churches of the Union of Utrecht in ecumenical dialogue
Kováč, Martin ; Vogel, Jiří (advisor) ; Vik, Dalibor (referee)
This thesis examines the bilateral ecumenical dialogues of the Old Catholic Churches of the Utrecht Union. After a brief introduction of the Utrecht Union as an ecumenical project and its development, the author discusses the dialogues of the Old Catholic Churches with the Anglican Churches, Orthodox Churches, Roman Catholic Church, Church of Sweden and other associated dialogues. The thesis also includes three excursuses: the concept of mainstream Old Catholic theology, the ecumenical method of differentiated consensus and the concept of differentiated participation, and the specific situation of the dialogue between the Old Catholic and Evangelical churches in Germany. In addition to an overview and the reception of the dialogue on the global level, the paper presents a reflection upon the local situation in the Czech Republic and Slovakia. Keywords: Old Catholic Church, Union of Utrecht, ecumenism, bilateral dialogue.

Rationale of eternity in times
Hlavešová, Ilona ; Vogel, Jiří (advisor) ; Vik, Dalibor (referee)
The thesis "The justification of eternity in times" addresses the relationship of the entity whose existence is modally necessary to the times of the entities of contingent existence, whose existence is defined by creation and termination, i.e., by the two poles of existence. The solution of this relationship is the answer to Panneberg's question about the relationship of eternity to the space-time structure of the universe. The approach to solving this problem is analyzed in the introductory chapter. Entities of contingent existence - beings - can be considered from the point of view of existence as polar entities, while the modally necessary one, which neither comes into existence nor ceases to exist, spans in its existence the poles of existence of all beings - it is therefore supra-polar in this sense. Time is needed to express the impermanence of the existence of beings. The fact that entities of contingent existence must exist in time raises the question of the relation of the modally necessary entity to time. The formal-logical expression of the relation of modally necessary entities to the times of modally contingent entities is discussed in second chapter. Sufficient conditions are given here for such an existence of a modally necessary entity which can be said to be of unbounded duration...

Word That Matters. Humanity and Ethics in the Thought of Emmanuel Lévinas
Vik, Dalibor ; Vogel, Jiří (advisor)
In five chapters, this thesis traces the question of humanity in the thought of the French philosopher Emmanuel Lévinas, mainly in his works De l'évasion (1935), De l'existence à l'existant (1947), Totalité et infini (1961) and Éthique comme philosophie première (1982), which represent various stages of his philosophical development. It offers an exposition of Lévinas's most original concepts, follows their development and sketches their parallel and/or polemic concepts in the European thought, placing them within the context of Lévinas's life-work. For Lévinas, the question of humanity appears as a transpostition of the question of God, who can not become an object of rational inquiry. In conclusion, the question of humanity becomes the theological issue par excellence. This study tries to show how theology can draw inspiration from Lévinas's concepts in various manners: (1) methodology: Lévinas shows what happens to our thought when we follow the principle Sein-lassen in questionning God and when we take this principle as a basis of our theological research; (2) re-thinking: Lévinas offers a critical revision of traditional theological concepts and endows them with existential meaning, (3) marginalized phenomena: Lévinas thoroughly analyzes phenomena, which has been neglected or marginalized by the...

Word, speech and language. Interdisciplinary field of theology and neuroscience.
Tomášek, Martin ; Vogel, Jiří (advisor) ; Vik, Dalibor (referee)
74 Abstract Logos is the multi-meaning term accompanying philosophy from the earliest authors. In general, the term logos has historically had two main groups of meanings. The first group concerns speech (word, speech, sentence…) and the second group of meanings concerns reason (thought, reason, mind, thinking…). In philosophical-theological thinking the second group passes into the idea of reason transcending man - "divine" or "world reason". The theoretical basis of the duality of both speech and reason was postulated by analytical philosophy. As Humboldt was already convinced, thinking was always associated with language, speech was an organ of creating thoughts. Pneumatological philosopher Ebner says: man is by nature "the Spirit who posseses the word," "there is no reason without the Word," and "reason is speech, logos". Within the philosophy of language Wittgenstein argues: "the boundaries of my language create the boundaries of my world," and "a sentence is an image of reality". Fodor's linguistic works on the inner language of thought ("Mentalese") and especially Chomsky's theory of the existence of a structure for "universal grammar" in the human brain provide preconditions for the search of such a structure. Neuroscientific research confirms these assumptions. Structures specialized for speech...

Pavlík, Benjamín ; Vogel, Jiří (advisor) ; Vik, Dalibor (referee)
The diploma thesis "The Fundamental Beliefsof the Seventh-day Adventist Church: Theological Debate about their Nature, Role, and Arrangement in the Last 25 Years" has two main aims. First of all the paper tries to examine the debate of Seventh-day Adventist theologians about the church's doctrine since 1995 up to the present day. The paper's other effort is to place the examined debate into a historical and hermenutical context of the Seventh-day Adventist Church. The introduction presents the aims of the paper, their justification, methodology, main research issues and content structure of the thesis. In the first part of the paper are shown the main landmarks of the Seventh-day Adventist doctrinal statements since 1848 up to the present day. Then the first part focuses on the elementary hermeneutical principles of Seventh-day Adventist in relation to the Scripture and the writings of Ellen G. White which is considered as a non-canonical prophet. The second part of the thesis deals in detail with question, how theologians from the Seventh-day Adventist Church understand the nature, role and arrangement of the Fundamental beliefs of their church. Namely - what the fundamental beliefs are, why should church hold them and how to arrange them. In connection with the first part of the paper a debate...

Influence of the Separation on Financing of the Churches
Zeitham, Libor ; Vogel, Jiří (advisor) ; Vik, Dalibor (referee)
Abstarakt - English This thesis analyses current state of churches financing. Following implementation of the Act of Property Settlement with churches and religious societies, the churches receive state contribution intended for churches' service reduced by 5 per cent from the original compensation amount every year since 2016. The contribution shall be paid out till final termination in 2027. Moreover, according to the Act, churches receive financial compensation for thirty years since 2013. This thesis asks following question: Could the churches be able (after thirty years) to finance their services from the state financial compensation only which they would regularly invest during the thirty years and from which only salaries should be paid in the anticipated level of 2013 valorized since 2019 by supposed inflation. The state financial compensation is supposed to be valorized by the same inflation. The calculations resulted in finding that only the Roman-Catholic Church would prove to be succesfull under given conditions. Due to the fact that churches do not invest the whole state contribution/subsidy excluding salaries (which was the necessary pre-requisite) neither the Roman-Catholic Church would succeed. It doesn't mean that the churches will terminate their activities by that time but structure of...

Ecotheology and ecological practice in the Czechoslovak Hussite Church
Bezděk, Ondřej ; Vogel, Jiří (advisor) ; Vik, Dalibor (referee)
In my Thesis called Ecotheology and Ecological Practice in the Czechoslovak Hussite Church I tried to deal with both theoretical and practical issues regarding care for creation. First I mentioned terminology which is in Czech language, not really well grounded and terms such as ecology, care for creation, ecological theology and ecotheology can be basicly understood as interchangable. Next part was dedicated to overwiew of ecological theory and pracitice published in our church magazine called Český zápas during period 1999-2018. Surprisingly it is full of interresting material. Next part was about ecological practices of our parishes and about projects dealing with ecocertification. So far there is quite few parishes that are "green" but the situation has potential to improve. Eventually I decided to promote a new body that will deal with "green" issues in our church and might be helpful to many parishes when reaching eco certificate.
