Observance of the Lord's Supper in Pentecostal Churches
Moldanová, Olga ; Vaňáč, Martin (advisor) ; Landová, Tabita (referee)
This thesis, entitled "Observance of the Lord's Supper in Pentecostal Churches" attempts to introduce the observance of the Lord's Supper in the Apostolic Church, including its pastoral aspects. Included in this is an outlined discussion on the same theme. The first part of the work introduces characteristics of the Pentecostal Movement in general, and then its representative in the Czech Republic, the Apostolic Church, in the context of its historical- theological development. The second part adds some historical moments of the remembrance of the Lord's Supper in this context. The subsequent discussion then more closely examines the understanding of the ceremony of the Lord's Supper in the Pentecostal environment, especially within the Apostolic Church. The third part discloses the specific practice of the Lord's Supper in the churches of the Apostolic Church. This comes from foundational documents of the Church and survey-based research. The final part discusses the pastoral aspects of the Lord's Supper, working from information attained from the surveys, life experiences and finally from selected sermons related to the remembrance of the Lord's Supper.

The Eucharistic Prayer and its Reintroduction in Contemporary Reformed Churches
Hrubovská, Barbara ; Landová, Tabita (advisor) ; Beneš, Ladislav (referee)
This diploma thesis, entitled "Eucharistic prayer and its reintroduction in contemporary Reformed churches," deals with the historical development and present form of Eucharistic prayer, as well as the possibilities of its application in liturgical orders to the Lord's Supper in the Reformed churches. The aim of the work is to explore the essence of the liturgical and theological contribution of the Eucharistic prayer for the eucharistic liturgy of the Reformed churches. The work consists of six chapters. At first, deals with the Eucharistic prayer as one of the possible elements of the liturgical renewal of the Lord's Supper in Protestant churches, whose liturgical orders do not include the Eucharistic prayer owing to historical development. It also discusses the historical development of the Eucharistic prayer from its Jewish roots, through the emergence of the Roman canon to its removal by the reformers from the liturgy of the Lord's Supper. The work also focuses on the comparison of two particular Reformed churches, the Reformed Church in America and the Reformed Christian Church in Slovakia, on their approach to the use of Eucharistic prayer and on the reflection of the contribution of Eucharistic prayer to the liturgical orders of the Reformed churches in general.
