Abstract
The author points to the fact that in the Czech Protestant environment, there has not yet been a discussion on how to reflect contemporary political issues in the pulpit. He points to Dietrich Bonhoeffer's thesis that the church must be able to pronounce the word of God here and now, from knowledge of the political matter, getting to the core.
Building on contemporary German literature, in particular, not only does he summarize the arguments for "political sermons" and suggest what form they might take, but he also discusses the risks involved. Finally, he stresses that preaching is part of a worship service in which people pray for politicians and good governance and also celebrate the Eucharist - experiencing the new world and carrying parts of it into the present one.
