A Minorityness of the Church and its Self-perception
Pečeňa, Rastislav ; Beneš, Ladislav (advisor) ; Landová, Tabita (referee)
This thesis is focused on actual situation of a church membership in Czech Republic. Firstly, it determines the term church in the biblical context and then it does a sociological-historical research of the Czech church membership and the self-perception of the churches. The aim of this thesis is also to determine the term church by self-perception, minorityness and actual situation of five selected Czech churches: the Roman Catholic Church, the Orthodox Church, the Protestant Church of Czech Brethren, the Czechoslovak Hussite Church and the Church of Brethren. Each of these churches has a different character, on which it is possible to well observe the individual characteristics and manifestations of the particular church. This is the basis for rising or decreasing of the number of church members. The thesis researches as well the self-determination of these churches against other churches, other religions and against nonbelievers. It asks a question: Who belongs to church, and who does not any more? Last but not least, we analyse a question of the "Czech atheism" which is interwoven with the minorityness and we look for the sociological, historical and ecclesiological reasons for it.

The purpose of my diploma thesis Christmas dramas for children and teenagers in ČCE is to find out if authors of Christmas dramas in ČCE work with them as valid parts of catechetical work with children and teenagers. I decided to make analysis of some texts of Christmas theater plays, which are freely distributed in the church.

Chapter three deals with analysis of two biblical texts Matt 1:18-2:23 and Luke 1:5-2:40 because they are often used as a source for Christmas dramas. Chapter four deals with analysis of three Christmas plays written by members of ČCE for congregations of ČCE. The emphasis is mainly on theological and pedagogical analysis. The conclusion of my analysis is that authors of Christmas dramas in ČCE do not work with them as valid parts of catechetical work.
