Proměny členské základny Českobratrské církve evangelické v 21. století a její příčiny
HAVLENA, Filip
The work focuses on secularization in the 21st century. In particular, it will focus on the Czech Brethren Evangelical Church, where the decline of believers in recent years has been particularly pro-apparent. The aim of the thesis will be to analyse the transformation of the Evangelical Church in the 21st century. The hypothesis of the thesis will be that the younger the generation, the more secular it is, using statistical data. Gender in the secularization process will also be an issue. The basic method of the thesis will be textual analysis of sources. Where the secondary literature is for a general orientation of the issue, but also the press and the website of the church under analysis, if there are not enough texts in these sources dedicated to content analysis, there will be qualitative research - interviews with several church members, who will be given pseudonyms. The introductory part will focus specifically on secularization as such, and on its historical context, as well as on the social transformation that secularization has brought about.

The History and Development of the Czechoslovak Hussite Church Parish in Rakovnik
Macoun, Jiří ; Veverková, Kamila (advisor) ; Lášek, Jan Blahoslav (referee)
This thesis provides a view into magnitude of influence of patriotic sentiment in the time period following World War I and its synergy with charismatic personalities of Rakovník such as Josef Kopecký and first patriarch Karel Farský that lead to creation of CČHS religious community in Rakovník. Thanks to these people, it was possible to spread the idea of a new church to neighbouring villages and to overcome the hesitance of the very first priests, who had to convert from the Catholic Church. These facts are apparent from sources relevant to this topic. Information sources presented in this thesis combined with academic literature bring forth realistic picture pertaining the given time period. Work on this thesis has provided me with large number of ideas for future material and spiritual renewal of this community. It is also important to attain a deeper understanding of our history and our roots and to make this information available to people whose ancestors formed this community. After all, more than three quarters of population of Rakovník took part in religious community in 1925. Therefore, it is fair to say that history of the religious community is that of Rakovník in this time period. It is our obligation to involve the public, namely the young, to activities of the church and to continue building...

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...

The Significance of the Father in the Education of a Preschool Child
NOVÁKOVÁ, Hana
In my bachelor thesis I´m dealing with the issue of the significance of father in the education of a pre-school child. The theoretical part is focused especially on children´s mental needs and on the role of father in fulfilling them. I´m trying to analyse the position of father in the education of pre-school children in the past and also drawing attention to the change of his position in family in present. In the practical part I´m dealing with the views and attitudes of present Czech fathers in comparison with the views and attitudes of church community members both in the Czech Republic and the USA. I´m also trying to compare fathers of two different generations.
