The thesis, "Prayer: The Role, Place and Significance of Prayer in the Lives of Members of the Christian Community" deals with the topics outlined in its title. It is examined from the standpoint which understands prayer in its Biblical context, as well as how it has been interpreted by the Evangelical Church of Czech Brethren tradition. The core of the thesis is made up of qualitative research. The goal of the research is to discover how prayer is perceived by believers within a particular Christian community: what place prayer occupies in their lives, what shapes it, what it contributes to them and, at the same time, how they perceive prayer and what kind of meaning corporate prayer has for them. Five deep, semi-structured conversations with research participants helped to achieve the goal of the thesis. The results of the qualitative analyses are presented in several chapters, of which four main chapters contain (1) the benefits of prayer in understanding oneself, and (2) in understanding and perceiving God, (3) prayer as a tool for service, and (4) benefits and deficits connected with prayer. The concluding chapters then summarize the results found in the answers to the survey questions, and further on there is a discussion presented on the understanding of prayer as perceived through the lens...

We will focus on the concept of suffering in the theology of John Paul II., especially his messages during the Days of the sick in this dissertation "Sickness and sick people in the messages of saint John Paul II. for the Worlds days of the Sick". Firstly we have to describe sickness in catholic theology to understand this topic better. We will continue further with the analysis of messages during the Days of the Sick under the pontificate of saint John Paul II. This in consideration of his other texts (especially the apostolic letter Salvifici doloris), John Paul's attitude towards the way sickness and the sick are viewed in different cultures, as well as his position on various kinds of suffering, will be streamlined and characterized in this work. We will also allow for the sickness in the life on John's Paul II. which particularly influenced his main view on sick people and we will also take into account his other writings.

This pastoral theological work is focused on clarification of the identity of deacon service and the permanent deacons' placement in the Czech and Moravian parishes, regarding to the Catholic Church at the beginning of the 21st century. The starting point of this work is the historical development of the diaconate and its theological reflection. The current situation of the Czech Particular Churches is, with all the respect, very specific and not sufficiently described yet. That is why I've partly focused on the empirical research (2011 and 2012) where I was searching for answers to the fundamental questions concerning the identity of the diaconate as a connection to the historical and theological part of my work. The target group of respondents was consisted of parishioners, priests, bishops, and deacons who had been active in parish pastoral work. The empirical research has revealed some positive and negative aspects associated with this sacramental service and helped to suggest some changes to the pastoral involvement of the permanent deacons in the Czech Republic. As a result of this research, the deacon service is truly an important part of the sacramental life in the Church and it is indispensable. However, concerning its true identity, surely it is more than important to seek and create specific space for the role of permanent deacons in such a way that their positions don't play only a vicarious role, as we experience these days. The theses that have come out of this work might help partialy to solve this problem.
