Fiat voluntas Tua
Válek, Ondřej ; Neumayerová, Eva (referee) ; Kristek, Jan (advisor)
The project works with the thesis that the celebration of the Eucharist is not dependent on place, or that under certain conditions any space can become a liturgical space. Conversely, it is possible to consider whether the strictly liturgical space of the church can be adapted to an alternative programme that does not necessarily involve traditional church rites, while maintaining its sacred character. Using the case study of the adaptation of St. Jilja's Church in Brno-Líšeň as a case study, the project relates to the broader issues of the Czech Roman Catholic Church, which is currently in an important period of transition in terms of demography (a decline in the number of worshippers and clergy), economics (the financial separation of the Church from the state) and culture (the completion of the restitution of property, including a number of monuments).

The Dying Church; Searching for the interpretative key to the position of Christianity in postmodern Europe
Prokeš, Josef ; Petráček, Tomáš (advisor) ; Bouma, David (referee) ; Kaplánek, Michal (referee)
The Dying Church, Josef Prokeš Abstract The Dying Church Searching for the interpretative key to the position of Christianity in postmodern Europe The main subject of this thesis concerns the search for the way in which the Church in the Czech Republic should live in order to fulfil its mission, that is to bear witness to the Gospel of Jesus Christ. The Czech theologian and Franciscan Zdeněk Bonaventura Bouše was chosen as the starting point, especially his texts on the Church. His texts are read according to the interpretive key, which was chosen to be the verse in the Gospel of John where Jesus declares that he is the Way, the Truth and the Life. In the first chapter, this scripture (John 14:6) is discussed and applied to the Church. This leads to a characterization of the Church that is on the way, striving for truthfulness and is full of real life. It is according to this key that Bouché's texts are read and interpreted in the second chapter. The main part of the work is the chapter three. Here the three dimensions of the Church (on the way, striving for truthfulness and full of life) are discussed in specific terms in relation to the situation of the Church in the Czech Republic. Keywords The Church, searching for the way, truthfulness, life, form of living, form of the Church, Practical theology

Possibilities of inter - confesive education at the Czech school
STÝBLOVÁ, Sára
The thesis deals with the possibilities of interconfessional education in Czech schools. The theoretical part is characterized by an expert treatment of current literary sources on the history and present of ecumenism, interconfessional relations and the possibilities of ecumenical and interconfessional education. The practical part focuses on the verification of these facts with the help of empirical qualitative research. It deals with the question of the perception of religiosity of students of different confessions attending religious schools in the Czech Republic. Specifically, it concerns young people aged from 15 to 17. The content of the practical part is a description of the research methodology, individual statements of respondents, their evaluation and subsequent summary of research results. The results of the research point to differences in the approach of individual schools to interreligious education and training. While at one religious school we find exemplary inclusion of interconfessional education in the curriculum content of religious classes, at the other school we find no signs of interconfessional education at all, which subsequently reflects adversely on individual students' experience of their own religiosity. This is probably due to the general weakening of the influence of religion in society and the consideration of issues of a completely non-religious nature in young people.
