Text in Afrikaans / Summaries in English and Afrikaans / 'n Onderskeidende kenmerk van die Pinksterbeweging (waarvan die AGS deel is) wat aan die begin van hierdie eeu tot stand gekom het, was die funksionering van die pneumatika (die geestelike gawes in 1 Korintiers 12:7-11 genoem) in die lewens van lidmate en in die liturgie van die erediens. Die opkoms van die Charismatiese beweging vanaf die sestigerjare het hierdie fenomeen opnuut onder die aandag van die kerk gebring. Histories blyk dit dat die funksionering van die pneumatika 'n integrale deel van die bemoeienis van God met die mens was. Sommige van die pneumatika was reeds in die Ou Testament teenwoordig, is prominent in die bediening van Jesus gesien tydens sy vleeslike bestaan, en was kenmerkend van die kerklike lewe in apostoliese tye. In die na-apostoliese tye was daar 'n merkbare afuame hiervan, maar het selfs in die middeleeue nooit heeltemal van die toneel verdwyn het nie. Vanaf die twaalfde eeu was daar weer 'n gestadigde toename in die voorkoms van die pneumatika wat sy klimaks bereik in die wereldwye Pinksterherlewing aan die begin van die twintigste eeu. Die teoretiese teologiese teorie binne die AGS hou die ideaal voor dat die pneumatika steeds op Nuwe Testamentiese wyse (soos deur die AGS geinterpreteer) in die erediens sal funksioneer. 'n Empiriese ondersoek met behulp van 'n situasie-analise (Wallace se model van deduktiewe en induktiewe redenering) toon aan dat daar 'n beduidende verskil tussen ideaal en praktyk is - die pneumatika funksioneer slegs sporadies in die eredienste, terwyl lidmate se betrokkenheid daarby en kennis daarvan dienooreenkomstig van beperkte aard is. n V erstelde praktykteorie word voorgestel. Dit behels 'n model wat die interathanklikheid en relasie aandui tussen Christus as Hoof van die gemeente en Bron van die pneumatika, lidmate en pastore se houding en kennis in verband hiermee, en die ruimte vir en implementering van die pneumatika in die erediens. Fasiliterend tot hierdie interaktiewe proses is die doping in die Heilige Gees, opleidingsprogramme, en kleingroepe. Hierdie praktykteorie is oop vir toekomstige toetsing en verstelling - alles moet lei na die herstel van die funksionering van die pneumatika tot opbou van die gemeente en meerdere verheerliking van God. / A distinctive characteristic of the Pentecostal Movement (of which the AFM is a part), formed at the beginning of this century, was the functioning of the pneumatics (the spiritual gifts mentioned in 1 Corinthians 12:7-11) in the lives of members and in the liturgy of their worship service. The Charismatic Movement arising in the sixties brought this phenomenon under the attention of the church anew. Historically it seems that the pneumatics were a integral part of the activities of God with his people. Some of the pneumatics were already present in the Old Testament, were seen in the earthly ministry ofJesus, and were distinctive of the apostolic period. In the after-apostolic period there was a marked decline in the appearance thereof From the twelfth century onwards there was an increase in the appearance of the pneumatics that climaxed in the worldwide Pentecostal revival at the beginning of this century. The theoretical theological theory in the AFM presents the ideal that the pneumatics would still be operating, as in New Testament times (i.e. as interpreted by the AFM), in their worship services. An empirical survey with the aid of a situation analysis (yv allace' s model of deductive and inductive reasoning was used), shows that there is a marked difference between ideal and practice - the pneumatics are operating sporadically and on a limited scale in the worship services, whilst the participation of the members and their knowledge in this regard are accordingly limited. An improved practice theory is suggested. It entails an interactive model that shows the interdependency and relation between Christ as head of the church and source of the pneumatics, church members and pastors whose attitude and knowledge in connection with this are of utmost importance, and the place for and implementing of the pneumatics in the worship service. Facilitating this interactive process is the baptism in the Holy Spirit, teaching programmes, and small groups. This practice theory is open for future testing and improvement - this must all lead to the restoring of the functioning of the pneumatics for the edification of the church and the greater glorifying of God. / Philosophy, Practical and Systematic Theology / Th.

The study is constructed from the perspective of the religious praxis. It refers to those activities developed by the Christian churches and institutions which convey creation, liberation and a radical transformation of individual, nature and society. The text tackles the social and cultural history of the country and the history of Cuban Presbyterianism, focusing on the period from 1967 to 2009. It takes into account four specific objectives: investigation of the cultural matrixes that formed the Cuban culture, description of the protestant historical roots and streams within Cuban Presbyterianism until the organization of the RPCC, presentation of the liturgical practices of the RPCC, and construction of guide lines for the celebration of hope throughout an inculturated liturgical praxis. These objectives were accomplished by using a historical method, which investigates events and institutions from the past in order to verify its influences in society, and by means of a bibliographical methodology that is supplemented by an investigation of the field and a questionnaire that covers twelve aspects of liturgy. Among other procedures, five specific actions were developed to the elaboration of the final text: examination of literature produced by Cuban and non Cuban authors related to the theme of this dissertation, organization of the texts, application of the interviews and evaluation of the results. In this thesis the author seeks to provide answers to a particular problem: the society changes, however, the church does not develop an efficient dialogue with it, nor does it follow the social changes that are occurring in its midst. This leads to the question: What can be done so that the Church could adjust its liturgical praxis to the socio-cultural context in which it is acting? The proposals raised at the end are not presented as a rigid pattern, but as a guide or map which must constantly be revised and adapted. / A presente tese aborda a relação entre liturgia e identidades culturais nas práticas litúrgicas da Igreja Presbiteriana Reformada em Cuba (IPRC). Tal estudo realiza-se à luz da práxis religiosa, que abrange o conjunto de atitudes criadoras, reflexivas,libertadoras e radicais desenvolvidas pelas igrejas e instituições cristãs. O texto remete tanto à história sócio-cultural do país quanto à história do presbiterianismo cubano, embora focalize o período de 1967-2009, e se desenvolve a partir de quatro objetivos específicos: pesquisar as matrizes culturais constitutivas da cultura cubana; apresentar as raízes históricas dos protestantes e as vertentes seguidas pelo presbiterianismo cubano até a conformação da IPRC; verificar as práticas litúrgicas da IPRC; e oferecer pistas para construir e celebrar a esperança por meio de uma práxis litúrgica inculturada. Para alcançar os objetivos desta pesquisa, usou-se o método histórico, que pressupõe a investigação de acontecimentos, processos e instituições do passado para verificar sua influência na sociedade. A metodologia foi de natureza bibliográfica, auxiliada pela pesquisa de campo através de um questionário de doze perguntas. As entrevistas foram feitas com pessoas pertences à IPRC. As ações se desenvolveram da seguinte maneira: revisão de textos produzidos por cientistas cubanos acerca da temática em questão; levantamento bibliográfico de literatura de autores não cubanos para complementar o tema escolhido; análise do teor compilado; aplicação de entrevistas; e avaliação dos resultados obtidos. O problema para o qual a presente pesquisa procura respostas é que por um lado a sociedade mudou e, por outro lado, a Igreja não consegue dialogar eficazmente com a mesma, nem acompanhar as mudanças sociais. Diante de tal situação a pergunta é: O que fazer para desenvolver uma práxis litúrgica adequada ao contexto sócio-cultural no qual a Igreja está inserida? As respostas a esta questão não se erguem como um padrão rígido, mas como guia, ou mapa, que constantemente deverá ser revisado e adequado.

The truth is that religion is not exempt from receiving influences from social and political changes. This research analyzes and compares two moments that Christianity suffered influences from changes that occurred in society. The first moment is based upon the Epistle of Hebrews, in the first century of the Christian age, when it dismembered itself out of the Jewish liturgy and formed a liturgical speech for itself. The other moment is the present day, where the worship services have received strong influences from changes that society has suffered. It is possible in both of these instances to find a struggle between Traditionalism and Modernism, between what is new and what is old, between what is established and what struggles in order to be established / Qual o poder de influência das mudanças sociais nos estilos de cultos? A realidade é que a Religião não é isenta de sofrer influências das mudanças políticas e sociais. Esta pesquisa analisa e compara dois momentos em que o Cristianismo sofreu influências das mudanças ocorridas na sociedade. O primeiro momento está baseado na Epístola de Hebreus, ainda nos primeiros séculos da era cristã, quando conseguiu se desvincular da Liturgia Judaica e formar um discurso litúrgico próprio. O outro momento estudado é a época atual, onde os cultos têm recebido grande influência das mudanças que a sociedade vem sofrendo. Em ambas as épocas é possível apontar uma luta entre a Tradição e a Modernidade, entre o velho e o novo, entre o que esta estabelecido e o aquilo que quer espaço a fim de se estabelecer

La thèse, fondée sur l’étude systématique des sources de première main, porte sur le personnel ecclésiastique et sur la vie musicale. Un fait propre à la Sainte-Chapelle est ainsi mis en avant : l’interdépendance du statut ecclésiastique et de la place de musicien. La vie musicale à la Sainte-Chapelle de Paris aux XVIe et XVIIe siècles n’a pas été réévaluée après Michel Brenet (1910). L’exploitation des sources, le développement des études liturgiques et les avancées de la recherche musicologique permettent de renouveler la connaissance de cette église et de sa musique. En fondant la chapelle du Palais, Louis IX établit le personnel ecclésiastique de la Sainte-Chapelle. Alors que la monarchie et la cour délaissent cette église au profit de la chapelle royale, François Ier établit une corrélation entre le personnel musical et l’ensemble des ecclésiastiques. Cette interdépendance, maintenue par le Chapitre, aboutit sous Louis XIVà une assemblée majoritairement constituée de musiciens / The musical life of the Sainte Chapelle in Paris during the 16th and 17th centuries has not been reassessed since the work of Michel Brenet (1910). The exploitation of sources, development of liturgical studies and advances in musicological research allow for a renewal of our understanding of this church and its music. By founding the Palace chapel, Louis IX established the clergy of the Sainte Chapelle. While monarchy and court abandon this church for the chapel royal, Francis I establishes a correlation between the musical and ecclesiastical staff of the Sainte Chapelle. This interdependence, maintained by the Chapter, results under Louis XIV in an assembly constituted of a majority of musicians. This thesis, based on the systematic study of primary sources, focuses on the clergy and musical activity. A particularity of the Sainte Chapelle is thus revealed: the interdependence of ecclesiastical status and appointment as a musician

The work deals with active participation of religious people while celebrating li-turgy renewed by II. Vatican council, The whole work is divided into 5 major parts. The history of liturgy is described in the first part of the work. Emphasis is put on the age of Liturgical Movement and following outfall into general reform of liturgy ? the constitution of Sacrosanctum Concilium. The second part deals with the importance of music and language which are necessary condition for active participation. I would like to highlight the transition from latin to local languages after the II. Vatican council. The Church wants the religious people to be active in liturgy and which leads to another part of the work which is dedicated to the services for children and young people. It also considers the beauty and richness of the breviary. A very important term is animation of liturgy which is mentioned in the fourth part of the work. I dedicated the last part of my work is to familirize the readers with efforts in Týn nad Vltavou?s parish to engage the people in liturgy.

Initial idea of this work: " The contribution theology Cardinal Schwarzenberg Vatican Council? , The de facto theological story that " started " at the September provincial council in Prague ( 1860) , and over the First Vatican Council ( 1869-1870 ) , the place - the fundamental ideas of Cardinal Schwarzenberg - up to II . Vatican Council (1962-1965). We must ask ourselves what was the theology of Cardinal Schwarzenberg exceptional and why has the range and in the decades after the First Vatican Council. These questions and many others began to form this work. Response them in three circuits . The first issue is the milieu of contemporary Czech society, which entails " Czech question" because it has the attributes of the ideas of Jan Hus, who was one of the requirements to be " God's word could freely proclaim," which Cardinal Schwarzenberg sees as one of the keys to their pastoral care to address the overall " religiously sentient inhabitants " to what is now called ecumenism, and the Cardinal called her a contemporary "family faith." So the family home environment to be introduced to the "family environment" of the Church, which "does not divide, but integrates" . The second area is the communion of the Catholic congregation, which already carries specific nature of faith , which gives information on the human , not as individuals , but persons as believers lives and moves "in communion" communion sanctorum "that accompanies the believer personally and for boundaries of the church (the Church). Therefore, even in sacred spaces Divine Liturgy promotes "Discourse in the middle of the Mass," because it helps ensure that a person liturgically activated in "upgrade of Church's thinking" (that later " aggiornamento ") in the world. The third issue is the consistency believer in education as Cardinal Schwarzenberg has a graduate character: discipline, teaching and cultivating. In this characteristic "inculcation" of a person into a "divine milieu" of humanity is in the attributes of participation in "completing the world that God created Undone", as taught by A. Günther , and one has a personal interest in "his physiognomy ." All three themes should help understanding " personal infallibility of the Pope," which is not deistic static, is based on the individual, but carries the story of spiritual formation tradition of the whole Church, in whose center is the Christological fraternity, to which the " indoctrinated " hierarchy of jurisdiction, which cannot be separated from each other, but in accepting the structure of the human being shed on the integral concept of the Catholic Church as organic. Which took place in the contemporary modification to the II. Vatican Council.

The aim of the thesis is to describe relationships between spirituality, Christianity and sport in history and present. In the first part the author underlines ritual origins of games and sports in pre-Christian cultures, especially ancient Greece and Rome. Revolutionary Christianity separated physical competition from religious ritual. In Christian author´s (Paul, Tertullian, Basil, John Chrysostom, John Cassian and John Climacus) games rating there is an obvious ambiguity They criticized an idolatric origin and connection with cults. Attributes typical for ancient athlete, self-discipline and perseverance, they remained positive. Athletes will and willingness to overcome obstacles gave some of the Fathers of the Church as an example for spiritual struggle, the term "athlete of Christ" had a strong significance in this context. The historical part contains Thomas´s Aquinas valuation of sport in the form of games. In discussion focused on the assessment of the sinful nature of games Aquinas submitted to the rule of reason. One of the key issues in contemporary theology of sport is introduced on the difference between the theological concepts of contemporary authors Rev Dr Lincoln Harvey and Rev Dr Robert Ellis. Harvey's theory, based on a systematic basis, based on the classical axioms of Christian doctrine. Sport is construed as a "liturgy of our contingency", set in the autonomous space that God lovingly gives his creatures. The consequence of this theory is the denial of the transcendent dimension of sport. Ellis´s theory is based on empirical research conducted among athletes. His attention is focused on efforts to achieve the best possible performance by referring to Irenaeus of Lyon, Maslow and others interpreted as a reflection of God's self-transcendence necessary for the creation of man. Sport according to Ellis in contemporary society fullfil some of the functions previously belonging to organized forms of religion. The final section deals with altered states of consciousness in sports and their relationship to the mystique. The author begins by describing his own experiences that are then interpreted from five points of view (philosophical, theological, phenomenological, transpersonal and skeptical). On this basis, the author formulates his own interpretation of the connection between sport and mysticism, whose findings help to deepen the above discussion and also can help with looking for a solution.

The dissertation concerns with the restrictions on the church life by the State of Czechoslovakia during the years of 1945-1989 with a special regard to restrictions on the celebration of liturgy in South Bohemian Region. Facts that have been gathered from the literature and primarily from the secretaries for the church affairs reports, that have been preserved in the archive funds of Regional National Committee and the South Bohemian Regional National Committee, prove convincingly that the state authorities imposed restrictions on life, pastoral ministry, and the church liturgical celebrations systematically.

Esta dissertação aborda o Direito Ático por um prisma axiológico. Admite a influência dos valores na formulação de normas e institutos, e destaca um valor que considera como dos mais importantes na cultura grega dos séculos V e IV a.C., a saber, a honra. Uma primeira parte do trabalho se propõe a delimitar a honra, distinguindo seu uso em dois sentidos principais de: valor que se tem, e de fenômeno da percepção deste valor. Uma segunda parte demonstra a origem do apreço pela honra e pela excelência na poesia épica, esclarecendo depois que posição a honra ocupa na escala grega de valores. Trata-se ainda da guerra como local para o nascimento e consolidação dos significados de honra de que dispomos, e em seguida, aborda a tormentosa situação enfrentada por Drácon por conta da prática da vingança privada, destacando a vinculação desta ao restabelecimento da honra e comentado as características da lei de homicídio de Drácon. A terceira parte dedica-se a detalhado exame de três institutos jurídicos Áticos que têm na honra sua razão de ser: perda dos direitos civis, atimía; serviços ao povo de Atenas, liturgias; a tratamento e punição da hýbris. / The present work examines Attic Law through an axiological perspective. Admits the role of values in forming norms and juridical institutes, focusing in a special value considered to be one of the main forms of excellence in 5th and 4th century: honor. The first part of the work delimits honor, indicating two meanings for the term: a value that the subject has, and the perception of such a value by others. A second part demonstrates the origin of the greek concern with honor and excellence in Homer´s epic poetry, establishing a post for honor in greek axiological rankings. Identifies war as the birthplace of the meanings of honor we discussed, and analyzes the difficult social condition that Draco had to face in its time, related to private revenge, emphasizing it connection with the theme of honor and commenting Draco´s Homicide Law. The third part brings a detailed exam of three of attic law´s institutes related to honor: disenfranchisement, atimía; public service in Athens, liturgies; treatment and punishment of hýbris.
