Bubíková, Eliška ; Landová, Tabita (advisor) ; Beneš, Ladislav (referee)
This thesis deals with the concept of confirmation in the Evangelical Church of Czech Brethren (ECCB). In order to deepen the understanding of the rite, the thesis discusses its historical developement focusing on the aspect of consignation as part of baptism, on the sacrament of confirmation, and on the further developement of prostestant confirmation. In its main part, the thesis centres on confirmation in the ECCB, in which four concepts, typical for the traditions the ECCB comes from, blend together - i.e. the catechesis, the creed, the admission to the Lord's supper and the epiclesis. Starting from the theoretical point, it discusses the concept of confirmation in the liturgical books of the ECCB and then moves on to the practice of confirmation. Firstly, it studies how the concept of confimation is reflected in the ECCB confirmation materials, i.e. in various protestant cathechisms, and secondly, how the issue is treated by members of the ECCB in their Church periodicals' contributions. It focuses on the large debate in the 1950's as well as on contributions since 2000. Last but not least, the thesis tries to find out if and how the concept of confirmation has changed since the establishment of the church.

1 Summary Religion in textbooks for the second-grade elementary schools. Recently, there has been an increasing level of discussion about religion in the public space. Nonetheless, uneducated opinions are often being used. In my work, I focused on what kind of information are being passed onto pupils of primary schools, regardless of the interest of particular teacher. In the first part of my thesis, I compare basic curriculum documents (so called Whitepaper and Framework Education Program) and individual educational areas. In second part, I work with specific books of selected subjects (history, civics, ethics) that have been authorized by the Ministry of Education Youth and Sports (MEYS). I pay particular attention to how frequently, to what extent and in what context do they referrer about religion (including list of reported religions). Afterwards, I evaluate, whether they take evaluated stands, alternatively whether they encourage pupils to be interested in this area and finally whether they develop pupils' ability to look up relevant information on that subject. Keywords Religion, content analysis, textbook, Framework Educational Program, Whitepaper, prejudice, religiosity, Approval Clause, history, ethics, civics, evaluation.
