Initiation sacraments in canonical and liturgical law
BENEŠOVÁ, Marie
The Church sanctifies the world primarily by celebrating the liturgy and administering the sacraments. In the Catholic Church, we distinguish seven sacraments instituted by Jesus Christ. The thesis discusses the so-called initiation sacraments, baptism, confirmation and the Eucharist. Their acceptance is required in the case of repeated reception of the Eucharist for full initiation into the Christian life. The most sublime Eucharist is the source and at the same time the peak of all our actions. The thesis refers to both the biblical/historical roots and particularly to the current canonical and liturgical practice of administering initiation sacraments from the point of view of the canon law of the Latin Church (CIC/1983), the canon law of the churches of the Eastern Rite sui iuris (CCEO), official liturgical books (e.g., General Instruction of the Roman Missal) and other documents of the magisterium and relevant church authority concerning the liturgy.

Profile of Synods of the Evangelical Church of Czech Brethren after the year 1990
Opočenský, Matěj ; Filipi, Pavel (advisor) ; Beneš, Ladislav (referee)
This thesis looks at the general character of the synod of the Evangelical church of Czech Brethern (ČCE), based on archival documents since 1990. (The) first chapter describes how the Synod functions within the church and briefly mentions the issue of coping with communism, especially how some pastors got involved politically. I also touch on the events of the Velvet Revolution. The next chapter focuses on an analysis of the Synod's work based on classifying the synod's resolutions into different catogories. The results are given in three diagrams. The goal of this analysis is to show which types of resolutions dominate and which types are more unusual. The third more extensive chapter deals with the most important topics being resolved in the synod. It describes the origin of …, its progress and consequences for the church. To show the character of the ČCE Synod, I highlight its internal discussions regarding church law, the practical and theological discussions on …(church education, ordination and baptism…). Then I discuss the ČCE Social Welfare organisation, a free standing topic, as well as subjects that have revealed the Synod's views. This third group address the church's outside concerns. The synod talked about these topic both inside and outside the church as well as with the ecumenical...

The Differences in Interpretation and Practice of the Lord's Supper between Roman Catholic Church and Protestant Churches
Pečeňa, Rastislav ; Filipi, Pavel (advisor) ; Vaňáč, Martin (referee)
The Differences in Interpretation and Practice of the Lord's Supper between Roman Catholic Church and Protestant Churches This Bachelor's thesis deals with characteristics of the Lord's Supper in particular churches. These are Roman Catholic Church and two types of protestant churches - the churches of Augsburg Confession and the churches of Helvetic Confession. The task of this thesis is to point out and to compare the most discussed elements and nexuses related to the Lord's Supper from the theoretical view of confession of each church as well as from the view of its practice - concretely how administration of the Lord's Supper takes place and what is necessary for it, how can be dealt with it, who can be the administrator and who can accept and the like. Mostly, it is used the primary literature, which particular churches use (catechisms, codes, agendas…). On the other hand, it is used the secondary literature to put in nexuses as well. There are two documents of ecumenical agreements from the second half of the last century mentioned in conclusion - especially their views of the Lord's Supper. These should point out the hope of unity of church, which is not fully possible yet, but which church apparently aims to. In supplements, there is described a very short history of oecumene. It follows the...

Reconciliation Prayer in West Bohemia
HAKLOVÁ, Marie
The aim of the bachelor thesis is to find the impulses which led to the creation the Taize Community and which could be regarded as an inspiration for the present situation in the area of West Bohemia. The theoretical part focuses on the history of the Taize Community, the way of praying in the spirit of reconciliation and on its ecumenical dimension. This part also deals with social and spiritual connections between the French and the Czech post-war period and their influence on the further development of society. The practical part of the thesis records memoirs of the beginnings of this prayer in Prague, Pilsen and in smaller towns and villages in West Bohemia. The results of the recordings describe the basic differences between possibilities in a town and a village, and between the homely atmosphere in a family and the large prayer meetings. Further, the results approach the question of how the laics can be involved in this prayer and where do they belong in its organization. In the bachelor thesis, unstructured interviews and text content analysis were used for the research work.
