Inspiration for pastoral care in connection with artistic methods - with special attention to bibliotherapy and verse therapy, their possibilities and use
Šatánková, Radana ; Macek, Ondřej (advisor) ; Zámečník, Jan (referee)
The presented diploma thesis entitled Inspiration for pastoral care in connection with artistic methods - with special attention to bibliotherapy and verse therapy, their possibilities and use occupies an interdisciplinary scope in the field of theology - art - therapy. The work is divided into three parts: The first contains a treatise on pastoral and practical theology; it reflects different terminologies and notes the differences and common emphases and concepts of both theological fields. However, this is preceded by a careful search for Old Testament and New Testament images of the figure of the Shepherd - a model for those who are entrusted with the care for people. Certainly, this list with its own commentary is not exhaustive, but it is reflected in the presentation of pastoral work. Much attention is paid to the oft-discussed laity - their cooperation with the clergy and their application in the church and outside it. In pastoral work, we also encounter the four constitutive elements of the church (leiturgy, martyria, koinonia, diakonia), manifested to varying degrees, or even intertwined. Another line of work consistently points to the rapidly changing world and society and the demands on Christian service to be helpful to the man of today. The fundamental principles of the helping...

The church community as an inclusive environment for the disabled (people with mental disabilities)
Tauerová, Blanka Anna ; Macek, Ondřej (advisor) ; Beneš, Ladislav (referee)
The present thesis, entitled Church Communities as Inclusive Environments for People with Disabilities, seeks to map the possibilities of integration and inclusion of people with disabilities into church communities. The necessary introduction is followed by a brief description of intellectual disability so that it becomes clear why these persons are disabled, its definition, diagnosis and manifestations. The work continues with a reflection on the treatment of persons with disabilities in Scripture and a characterization of the new discipline of "disability theology". The thesis then seeks to describe the approach of church communities to persons with disabilities (dignity, spirituality, pastoral care, diaconia), their needs, and the possibilities for integration and inclusion in these communities, as well as the problems of inclusion in church communities. The final part of the thesis discusses research on the issue of intellectual disability and its relationship to church organisations and the actual qualitative research using a phenomenological approach in the form of a semi-structured interview.

Vondra, Radek ; Baštecká, Bohumila (advisor) ; Spalová, Barbora (referee)
The aim of the thesis is to describe forms and the potential of social networks within a church community from the perspective of the inclusion. The thesis specifies what social networks are, how they relate to community, and how they can be explored. It deals with a local congregation as the main unit of a church and its specification in The Evangelical Church of Czech Brethren. It also describes various views of the inclusion. The research part of the thesis depicts the process of entering a particular local congregation of The Evangelical Church of Czech Brethren. Using this example, the thesis categorizes different forms of inclusion including the biblical commandment of love, and captures the ever changing ways and powers of the social networks within a church as they attract and carry a person.

The thesis focuses on the activity of laymen - volunteers in the Chlumec church community in the period after November 1989 in the context of their contribution to fulfilling the mission of the church. The work is divided into four main chapters. The aim of the first chapter is to expound the role of the church in the present-day world and to describe its four functions. Dealing with the church community, the second chapter clarifies various aspects of how the church community may be perceived, and identifies its mission in the sphere of spreading the Gospel and work for those in need. To be found in the third chapter is a detailed description of the work of laymen in the church of Chlumec nad Cidlinou, whose service contributes to fulfilling both the parish functions as well as certain expectations of the neighbouring local community. The objective of the fourth chapter is to map out the hitherto unexplored activities of the Parish charity in Chlumec nad Cidlinou and its volunteer work, the curative stay of the Chernobyl children. During the particular period, these activities were carried out above all by the laymen - volunteers and represented a significant part of diaconia in the church community. The conclusion of the thesis offers a reflection on the manner in which the laymen activities...
