Uhrin, Michal (author), Horák, Miroslav (author), Vybíralová, Dorota (author)

This paper aims to reveal specific aspects of religious life in a Roman-Catholic community situated in the Brno-Country district. For this purpose, the fieldwork was conducted in one parish for a period of one year from 30 November 2022. The data collection was mainly based on participant observation and semistructured interviews with ten individuals (three women and seven men; mean age: 36.7 years). Both nativeborn inhabitants and newcomers of diverse professions were intentionally included in the research sample. The content analysis of semistructured interviews was performed in Atlas.ti. It was discovered that tolerance and cooperation are among the most important topics discussed by the informants and play a crucial role in their religious life.

• Title: Strpnost in sodelovanje v verskem življenju rimskokatoliške skupnosti : raziskava iz okrožja Brno

Abstract

Cilj članka je razkriti specifične vidike verskega življenja v rimskokatoliški lokalni skupnosti iz okrožja Brno - podeželje. S tem namenom je v eni od župnij potekalo enoletno terensko delo, ki se je začelo 30.novembra 2022. Zbiranje podatkov je v glavnem temeljilo na opazovanju z udeležbo in delno strukturiranih intervjujih z desetimi udeleženci (tri ženske in sedem moških; povprečna starost 36,7 leta). V raziskovalni vzorec so bili namerno vključeni tako tam rojeni kot priseljeni prebivalci različnih poklicev. Vsebinska analiza delno strukturiranih intervjujev je bila opravljena s spletnim orodjem Atlas.ti. Pokazala je, da sta strpnost in sodelovanje med najpomembnejšimi temami, o katerih so govorili udeleženci, ter da imata izjemno pomembno vlogo v njihovem verskem življenju.
