This thesis deals with the usage of storytelling within the pastoral conversation. It aims for describing approaches that addresses storytelling and discovering if and under what circumstances is possible to be applicated while putting emphasis on the storytelling. The thesis maps the progression of pastoral care in Czechia during past century and in foreign countries because of the American boom of narrative forms within pastoral care. The main theme is mapping of four approaches of storytelling during the pastoral conversation. They are divided into two groups based on sides that is focused within the conversation. At first part the thesis describes story telling of caregiver and focuses mostly on the way how the caregiver narrates biblical stories toward the care seeker. The second part deals with approaches of pastoral care that were influenced by narrative therapy. The focus is shifted towards the care seeker's storytelling.

Pastoral care for male and female prostitutes
Vorlová, Johana Miriam ; Vymětal, Mikuláš (advisor) ; Keřkovský, Pavel (referee)
This bachelor thesis deals with the pastoral care of people who engage in prostitution. In research interviews, which is the main tool of this research, the aim is to understand bio- psycho-socio-spiritual needs of these people. This thesis answers positively the question whether the spiritual care is something to enrich and saturate these people. Findings are that pastoration is benefical to people working in prostitution. There are opinions that pastoration should be focused on achieving clients' specific goals leading client away from prostitution. I find it inappropriate if this goal is maintained as a condition of help. Considering findings of this work, pastoration can be considered successful even if there is nothing more than opportunity for the client to be heard and accepted. The theoretical part is examining the role of prostitution in the Bible. The question of stigma is another important aspect of this research to be considered. The Bible research findings show ambiguity in this topic. I believe that this work will bring understanding of situations and motivations of people working in prostitution. I also believe that this work will contribute in bigger openness of churches towards this group of people.

Plicková, Jana ; Bravená, Noemi (advisor) ; Liguš, Ján (referee)
Children growing up in residential institutions lost chance to live in natural family environment. No wonder they struggle with emotional deprivation, which has a very negative influence on their future lives. Česká školní inspekce (Czech School Inspectorate) is regularly highlighting this issue, and at the same time criticizing lack of educated personell in the institutions, which could provide systematic and long-term care. Even in the Czech secular society, there is growing concern among teachers, psychologists, philosophers, and theologians about lack of transcendence, which is neccessary for healthy children's personality. However, missing transcendent element might be developed by education. There is a chance for the church to step-in, because spiritual care in secular institutions is slowly becoming well-known in the community, due to its benefits. Therefore the subject matter of this thesis is to define the role of chaplaincy in children's homes. Since this subject matter is rather unexplored, it is, in the first chapter, neccessary to introduce the reader to concepts of pastoral care.

The fourth chapter introduces us to the concept of chaplaincy and its three...
