However, this is preceded by a careful search for Old Testament and New Testament images of the figure of the Shepherd - a model for those who are entrusted with the care for people. Certainly, this list with its own commentary is not exhaustive, but it is reflected in the presentation of pastoral work. Much attention is paid to the oft-discussed laity - their cooperation with the clergy and their application in the church and outside it.

The present thesis, entitled Church Communities as Inclusive Environments for People with Disabilities, seeks to map the possibilities of integration and inclusion of people with disabilities into church communities.

Analysis of Basic Aspects of the Place and Role of Spiritual Care of the Armed Forces of the Czech Republic and the United States of America
Kožušníková, Hana ; Beneš, Ladislav (advisor) ; Macek, Ondřej (referee)
This diploma thesis on the topic Analysis of the Basic Aspects of the Location and Spiritual Care of the Armed Forces of the Czech Republic and the United States of America, focuses, as the name suggests, on the comparison of the military spiritual care of two armies, specifically the Army of the Czech Republic and the Army of the United States of America. The focus of the work is a detailed mapping of the basic aspects of the spiritual services of both armies, especially, for example, the requirements for a chaplain candidate, the chaplain's distinction from other armies or the content of their work. Emphasis is also placed on the history of spiritual services, so the work provides a thorough analysis of historical contexts. Finally, a comparison of the main aspects is made. It is placed in a table for better clarity. Based on the information found, we can identify some common features of the Chaplaincy Service of the Army of the Czech Republic and the Chaplain Corps of the United States Army. This is, for example, the ratio of the number of chaplains to the total number of soldiers or a very similar range of tasks. They differ, for example, in the diversity of religious denominations, where chaplains in the American army are not only Christians, but also Muslims, Jews or Buddhists.
