The course is focused on Christian churches and their activities in the Czech Republic. The aim of the course is to
know the brief history of Christian churches in the Czech Republic (especially the relationship between the state
and churches, for example changes in registration conditions, special rights, etc.) and study their structure and
different theological emphases and church practice (eg membership conditions, sacramental and liturgical
practice). Students should be able to orientate themselves in church issues and be able to cooperate in
administrative, pastoral or social work.
