Ferčík, Richard ; Vogel, Jiří (advisor) ; Procházka, Pavel (referee) ; Skoblík, Jiří (referee)
10 Abstract The Development of Funeral Practices in the Context of the Evolution of Ideological framework of the Czechoslovak (Hussite) Church. Author: Mgr. Richard Ferčík Our work resulted in finding that since the very beginning of its existence, the Czechoslovak (Hussite) Church approached the question of funeral rituals as a practical, pastoral question, not academic and theoretical. The Czechoslovak Church became a pioneer and promoter of cremation and operator of the most extensive network of columbaries in Czechoslovakia. The major moment of Czechoslovak (Hussite) Church particulars was the shift from the mechanical-magical concept of funeral in popular Catholicism, by which it tried to confront with a purified and understandable ritual based on the gospel and the desire to enculturate the gospel and translate it into a "live" language. Judging by the theological view of death and funeral, the basis from which it stemmed is quite clear - catholic modernism and liberal democratic thinking. In the first generation of Czechoslovak (Hussite) Church theologians we could observe significant "scholastic" fundament. Theological consideration was never priority in these matters, but the church only dealt with it when solving complex tasks. It was not until the middle of 1940s, when the Copernical Revolution...

The Czechoslovak Hussite religious community in Prague's Vinohrady in years 1942 - 1961
Nováček, Oldřich ; Hrdlička, Jaroslav (advisor) ; Lášek, Jan Blahoslav (referee)
The thesis entitled "The Czechoslovak Hussite religious community in Prague's Vinohrady in years 1942-1961" deals with the development of the Vinohrady's religious community within the wider historical development of the Czechoslovak Hussite Church. The introductory part of the thesis deals with the historical preconditions of the birth of the Czechoslovak Hussite Church. Besides the Enlightenment it was particularly a reformist movement of the Catholic clergy in the 19th century, closely connected to Catholic modernism, which was a revivalist movement within the Roman Catholic Church at the turn of 19th and 20th century. The impact of World War I and the break-up of the Austro-Hungarian empire mustn't be omitted, as well as the influx of democracy, humanism and, finally, the turbulent atmosphere at the time of the establishment of the new independent Czechoslovak Republic. The second part of the thesis is focused on the founding of the Czechoslovak Hussite religious community in the Vinohrady district of Prague, its development from the establishment of the Czechoslovak Hussite Church to its recognition by the Czechoslovak Republic. Then follows a general overview of the first twenty years of its existence, at the time of the so-called "First Republic" and at the time of protectorate, with the...

The Influence Of The Separation Of Church From The State On Selfawareness Of The Czechoslovak Hussite Church
Zeitham, Libor ; Vogel, Jiří (advisor) ; Kolář, Pavel (referee)
Annotation: This thesis describes situation of financing of the church after separation of the church from the state. Thesis analyses financial relations in Czechoslovak Hussite Church and tries to guess future development of financing of the church and its influence to self-awareness of the church itself. The money in the form of a financial support will flow into the church for a long time (about 28 years from 2015). But ones, this limit will be reached. Then we will see whether the church is able to generate money for its activities based on the former financial support that has been receiving for long years and to adapt its structure and inner relations to reality. Otherwise, the church as an institution may diminish.

The history and development of the Czechoslovak Hussite Church parish in Tman
Šmardová Koulová, Jana ; Hrdlička, Jaroslav (advisor) ; Lášek, Jan Blahoslav (referee)
This dissertation rediscovers the great impact of patriotic sentiment in the period after the World war I (and after World war II) which, along with charismatic personae of Antonin Koula and the first patriarch Karel Farský, had fundamental significance for the foundation of the great Religious community of Czechoslovak Hussite Church in Tman. Thanks to the vicar Antonín Koula the Church has expanded to surrounding towns and villages. This is apparent from the annals from which I have drawn most information. Analyzing these sources (Tman annals, Catholic annals, Czechoslovak Hussite Church annals), along with academic literature one may form an objective idea of the times studied. Partial overcoming of conflicts between Catholic and Czechoslovak Church, by means of state interference, led to the incentive to build new buildings of new architecture type typical for Czechoslovak Hussite Church. Work on this dissertation has given me many incentives for the future renovation of this community. The next output should be a deeper analysis of history and making this information more accessible to people whose ancestors built the local community. At the moment nonreligious aspects are more acceptable and interesting. Next task is to engage the public, especially children, in the church activities...

Miroslav Volf's theology of embrace in the context of CHC theology focusing on the question of eschatology leading to Christian engaged life
Sedlák, Filip ; Vogel, Jiří (advisor) ; Kučera, Zdeněk (referee)
Miroslav Volf's theology of embrace in the context of CHC theology focusing on the question of eschatology leading to Christian engaged life Filip Sedlák Abstract At the turn of the 19th and 20th century theology has reevaluated its basis so that eschatology regained its position of this basis. The view, which was kept only by the outsiders in the period of the Enlightment, has become a generally accepted one. The intensity of this shift changed in a variety of ways but it cannot certainly be said that it was overcome or replaced by a new wave until now. The importace of the eschatological viewpoint in contemporary theology has affected to a great extent also the theology of the Czechoslovak Hussite Church (CHC). However, the importace of eschatology in the CHC theology does not stem from the mentioned shift only, but has its historical roots in the Czech Reformation from which the subject of eschatology is inseparable, as well as in its understanding eschatology as an impulse to practical action perceived as preparing the ways for the Lord's coming which can eventually turn to the revolutionary dimension. The continuity with the Czech Reformation was declared soon after the foundation of the new church using the slogan: "Completing the Czech religious reformation." It is undoubtedly clear from many...

Ex 20,4 in the Theology of the Czechoslovak Hussite Church
Franková, Johana ; Vogel, Jiří (advisor) ; Kučera, Zdeněk (referee)
This diploma thesis deals with the interpretation of the 2nd commandment, known as "Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image" (KJV), respectively Ex 20.4 in the concept of theology of the Czechoslovak Hussite Church, represented mainly by the concept of Zdeněk Trtík, the main author of the official catechism of the Church. Trtík uses as a template for his interpretation a translation of the Kralice Bible, which seeks the most faithful translation of the original Hebrew meaning and which is in the conception of the second commandment in the line of the most important historical translations of the Bible, for example of the Vulgate. Most of these translations also correspond to their interpretations, which do not speak of prohibition on depiction of God. Trtík's interpretation, however, is clearly based on an interpretative tradition, oriented rather on the Zürich Bible, which emphasizes the non- depiction of God as an interpretation of the 2nd commandment. Trtík, however, transforms this tradition in his own distinctive way. Because these two main interpretative lines are somewhat remote from each other, I have tried to identify the specific reasons that could lead to Trtík's preference of one of the traditions, and at the same time to ascertain the specific or inspiration sources that Trtík could use...

The influence of Karel Statečný's ethics on Alois Spisar's ethics and on development of ethics in the czechoslovak church
Franková, Johana ; Vogel, Jiří (advisor) ; Kučera, Zdeněk (referee)
The bachelor thesis tries to evaluate so far not published fragment of Karel Statečný's ethics, which was prepared under the title Introduction to Ethics and Natural Law (ca. 1921-1924), and compare it with Ethics in Spirit of the Czechoslovak Church (1948) by Alois Spisar. The comparison of both works confirms the influence of ethical reflection of Karel Statečný on the further development of ethics in the Czechoslovak Church. The bachelor thesis brings enough arguments to demonstrate that Alois Spisar was familiar with the ethical conception of Karel Statečný, although his work and his person in his book are never mentioned. The most resemblances can be found in the layout of the ethical themes and in the chapters that deal with the sources of morality and relations of ethics to other disciplines.
