The fourth chapter concludes the thesis with the summary of reaction of the church after the publication of the new hymnbook, publication of the Appendix of the new hymnbook and describes the situation in present days. The whole thesis is finished with an interview with a contemporary witness, Mr. Jiří Otter, former secretary of the Synodal Council.

The whole thesis is based on archival materials found in the Archive of ECCB and National Archive in the first half of 2013.
Theology of Songs in the Selected Catholic and Protestant Songbooks
DĚDINOVÁ, Jana
In this theses are compared the theological statements of religious songs which are included in the Evangelical Songbook and the United Hymnary (United Songbook of Czech and Moravian dioceses). First is given a short characterictic of both songbooks and then is compared the meaning and use of spiritual songs in congregational liturgy of the Evangelical Church of Czech Brethren and the Roman Catholic Church. Then the dogmatic confessions related to the particular clauses of the Catholic belief in each chapter according to the structure of Apostles' Creed are compared and documented by quotations from the songs of both songbooks. These statements are analysed in light of the historical conditionality, doctrine of both churches and above all in light of the oecumenical context. At the close of the theses are compared identical and diverse versions of the united songs included in both songbooks.
